Zohran Mamdani's transition team includes quite a few anti-Israel activists

NYC's soon to be 1st Muslim mayor has predictably arranged for a number of anti-Israel activists to be on his transition team:

Waleed Shahid describes himself as a democratic political strategist. He has a track record of mocking Jewish outlets and making anti-Israel comments on social media.

On October 7, 2023, the day of Hamas’ massacre, Shahid tweeted, “Similar to violent militias in Ireland, South Africa, and many places around the world, Hamas is also a byproduct of Israel’s violent policies of occupation and the second-class status of Palestinians.”

Responding to his appointment, the current mayor Adams administration said, “Waleed Shahid’s role in Mamdani’s transition team isn’t a surprise - it’s confirmation. Shahid’s track record of mocking Jewish outlets aligns perfectly with Mamdani’s own silence on antisemitism.”

“Mamdani didn’t just hire Shahid - he built a pipeline for activists who treat Jew-hatred as a punchline. Meanwhile, Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn can’t walk safely, and Mamdani’s response is more committees stacked with the same extremists who cheer BDS.”

That's one beginning example of what Mamdani's staff is bound to look like very soon. Another is Tamika Mallory, and there's more about her here too:

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team announced on Monday includes a prominent activist with a history of alleged antisemitism.

Tamika Mallory, a leader of the Women’s March movement, stepped down from the board of the feminist group in 2019 amid allegations of antisemitism among the organization’s leadership.

Mallory had lionized the antisemitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and refused to condemn his discrimination against Jews. Mallory also reportedly said that Jews were responsible for the oppression of people of color, a charge she denied.

If that's the kind of libel she's going to spew, it's chilling to think, what if she's fully okay with Islamic regimes normalizing slavery? No doubt, there'll be plenty of repellent figures on the municipal staff and in Gracie Mansion soon enough, one more reason why NYC is clearly a most insufferable place to be at this point.
