He doesn't have the power to do that, but he did lift the ban on protesting outside those syangogues and churches, and he removed the use of the IDF definition of 'antisemitism' by the city.
The illegal sale of Palestinian land is, you guessed it, illegal according to international law and can easily be banned. They are selling a product which they do not own which is deceptive marketing and thus an easy ban.
It's weird Zohran is denouncing speech against genocide, while not banning monetary participation in the genocide
As the mayor he cannot ban the sales. His main power as mayor is picking the staff for city agencies. NYC's prosecuting offices only have standing to enforce municipal law, not international law. City laws are made by the city council, not the mayor. The mayor cannot change city laws. The mayor, does not have the power to ban land sales.
He was elected to be the mayor, and you're criticizing the mayor for being a mayor instead of a dictator delete your account.
What exactly is it that you think the mayor of a city does?
Uphold the law which Zionists are breaking.
