New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed the Zionist leader of a liberal Jewish community group to lead his Office to Combat Antisemitism.

Phylisa Wisdom, who will be leading City Hall’s fight against Jew-hatred, has led the New York Jewish Agenda since 2023.

The group opposed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, an anti-Israel initiative Mamdani has previously expressed his support for.

The group been instrumental in calling out antisemitism over the years. Last month, after a protest outside a synagogue saw activists chant “we support Hamas”, NYJA condemned it as “unambiguous and unacceptable antisemitism”.

There's the simple reason of avoiding the headlines and the media attack cycle.

Success!

As we know, playing nice with Nazis always works out

That's honestly is good press for Mamdani. Makes Phylisa look better than she is.

Why not just have someone good or abolish the position entirely. I thought we were playing nice with zionists to avoid "the headlines and the media attack cycle."

Because the headline you posted makes Mamdani look like a moderate.
