Jews, and socialists, and Jewish socialists, have been part of New York history for a long time. Just ask these girls, who protested against child labor in 1909. <\/span>Buyenlarge\/Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n New York City\u2019s right-wingers,<\/span> who evidently cannot handle losing elections, are dealing with their anger by once again attempting to fearmonger Jewish Americans into leaving New York, the most Jewish city in the country.<\/p>\n Last night, allies of Mayor Zohran Mamdani swept the New York City Democratic primaries. Claire Valdez, Brad Lander, and Darializa Avila Chevalier\u2014all of whom have condemned Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza\u2014each won a congressional seat, consolidating socialist power in New York.

But the Republican party figureheads of today would like Jews, specifically, to panic instead of celebrating.<\/p>\n \u201cTo my beautiful Jewish friends in America. We love you. You are not alone. We are just as freaked out as you are and see with clear eyes exactly what is happening,\u201d Meghan McCain wrote on X<\/a>. As a beautiful Jew in America, I was not initially sure what she was talking about. <\/p>\n Far-right activist Laura Loomer joined McCain in telling the 1 million Jews who call the five boroughs their home to go on ahead and pack their bags. Loomer, helpfully, made it clear that unconditional support for Israel is not and has never been about American Jewish safety<\/a>: for her, it is about fighting the supposed \u201cIslamic takeover of America.\u201d<\/p>\n
