New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed the Zionist leader of a liberal Jewish community group to lead his Office to Combat Antisemitism.

Phylisa Wisdom, who will be leading City Hall’s fight against Jew-hatred, has led the New York Jewish Agenda since 2023.

The group opposed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, an anti-Israel initiative Mamdani has previously expressed his support for.

The group been instrumental in calling out antisemitism over the years. Last month, after a protest outside a synagogue saw activists chant “we support Hamas”, NYJA condemned it as “unambiguous and unacceptable antisemitism”.

"Hmm this is like, the one thing that I stood out from the rest (somewhat anti-Israel) for and most of my base supports... So, should I do the bare minimum and abolish it, or appoint someone that wouldn't hate BDS..? Nah, because I'm the great compromiser, Imma do something so unforced and unneeded that will make me look like a stooge, that's how to win!"

is what Mamdani's thought process was probably
