electoralism

I am open to being taught otherwise if I'm wrong, but I don't find your points convincing. I must confess that due in part to the Apartheid Defense League's "sharp rise in antisemitism" incident tracker consisting mostly of Zionists seeing anti-genocide rallies and wanting to play victim, I do find claims of increased antisemitism much less credible. Not quite Nazi-who-cried-wolf levels of less credible, but getting there.

If you have a large minority population that feels unsafe, that's a problem and it's worth addressing

If their feelings match reality, yes. I don't know how many times Zionists have to pretend to be afraid while aiding genocide before people notice that that "fear" is being weaponized so they can play the victim while committing genocide. Or does Zohran's plan only allot extra security to explicitly antizionist synagogues that do not send money to the genocidal settler-colonial occupying state? Because if so then my apologies, hostility toward antizionist Jews who support the liberation of Palestine and the complete dissolution of Israel would in fact be antisemitism and should be opposed. It would just be very inconsistent with everything he's done so far to make such a principled distinction, so I assume that's not what he means.

Will that "extra security at synagogues" be used to stop neonazis from carrying out hate crimes against a vulnerable minority, or will that extra security be used to crack down on anti-genocide activists trying to disrupt the illegal land sales which Zionists conduct at some synagogues to sell land in occupied Palestine to prospective settlers? Because there's been a lot more of the latter than the former lately (Jews are indeed not the state of Israel, and more congregations need to start acting like it! )

Muslims have far more cause to be afraid for their safety in NYC (and the US at large) than do Jews, but I've never seen a big initiative like this to protect Muslims. It probably wouldn't play well politically for Zohran to undertake such initiatives either and he's a savvy careerist. Still, it makes me doubt that he cares about responding to the fear of a vulnerable minority.

More generally, I don't know how it's possible to have watched Mamdani cozying up to liberal Zionists since he got elected and throwing anti-genocide efforts under the bus and conclude this is anything other than more Uncle Tom bullshit from him. His choice to center Jewish feelings is a ploy to show that he's not antisemitic, but it won't stop Zionazis from calling him antisemitic anyway because he has a history of verbally expressing support for Palestine even as his material actions in power betray that cause.
