But perhaps more insidious is the pernicious #Islamophobia that has morphed in the years since the attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, the kind that has seeped into the liberal institutions that claim to oppose racism and prejudice. Their actions have helped lay the groundwork for the #Trump administration to take anti-#Muslim attitudes and codify them in policies and law, with far-reaching consequences for Muslims in America. In these spaces, Mr. #Mamdani is not “little Muhammad” but instead a virulent antisemite who portends violence for Jewish New Yorkers on account of his criticism of #Israel and his faith in #islam.

...when it comes to Islamophobia after Oct. 7, Mr. Mamdani is the poster child for the double standards that Muslims in America are held to today.

Israel is currently the biggest antisemitic institution in existence.
