Rudy Giuliani unloaded on New York’s new leadership this weekend, calling out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for planning to skip the city’s Israel Day Parade and for a pattern of behavior that betrays longtime allies. Giuliani, speaking on Newsmax’s Saturday Report, accused Mamdani of showing contempt for Jewish New Yorkers and said the mayor’s choices are a clear warning sign about which side he will stand with when the stakes are high.
Make no mistake: Mamdani is not a fringe councilman anymore — he was sworn in as New York City’s mayor on January 1, 2026, and now has the power to reshape the city’s tone and policy. New Yorkers who love their city’s traditions and who keep this town running are right to worry that his priorities — expensive experiments and cultural signaling — will replace the common-sense leadership that once put safety and solidarity first.
On his very first day in office the new mayor erased a host of executive orders issued by his predecessor, including those explicitly tied to support for Israel and the IHRA definition of antisemitism — a move that sent shockwaves through Jewish communities and allied officials in the city. That rollback wasn’t a minor administrative tweak; it was a loud, symbolic pivot that made clear his administration will answer to radical activists before the people who keep New York safe and prosperous.
Mamdani’s dismissive attitude toward civic rituals isn’t new — during the campaign he even said there are “many parades” he wouldn’t attend because he’d be “focusing on the work of leading this city,” a line that sounded like disdain for traditions that bind our boroughs together. Now, with the Israel Day Parade slated for May 31, 2026, Jewish New Yorkers are rightly asking whether their mayor will stand with them on the parade route or stand aside while radicals rewrite the script.
Patriots who love New York and who cherish the bonds between America and our friends abroad should not shrug at this. Giuliani’s blunt charge that Mamdani “must be stopped” was more than theater — it was a wake-up call to conservatives, community leaders, and every voter who still believes in loyalty and tradition. If New York is to remain a city where every community is protected and proud, we must hold the mayor accountable and remind him that the people of this city expect leadership, not performative politics.
