Mamdani distorting St. Patrick’s Day, Irish history just the latest example of his shameful obsession with Israel

As the saying goes, when you’re a hammer, the whole world looks like nail.

Exhibit A is the case of Mayor Mamdani, who has the nasty habit of twisting public events into an opportunity to bash Israel.

On Tuesday, he distorted St. Patrick’s Day and the long history of the Irish in New York to hijack the annual celebration and turn it into the latest example of his shameful obsession with the Jewish state.

In the midst of praise for Ireland and its former far-left president, Mary Robinson, at a Gracie Mansion breakfast, the mayor made a weird detour so he could hammer away on his favorite target.

Of Robinson, he said “I think also of how she stood steadfast alongside the people of Palestine. I say this as over the past few years, as we’ve witnessed a genocide unfold before our eyes, there has been deafening silence from so many.”

In case anyone didn’t get his point, he described Robinson as a rare voice in advocating “for universal human rights and the extension of them to Palestinians,” adding that “silence, however, is nothing new, for Palestinians are so often left to weep alone.”
