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”.

There's some local chapters that are starting to seek municipal seats according to some members here.

The reality in the US is the proletariat won't take a political party seriously unless they seriously engage in electoral politics. The PSL presidential shenanigans might win them some more college radicals but the masses will always see a more radical green party. If they started holding seats like SAlt did then they might get some real traction.
