Changes afoot in a global city. Roger Dunsdon considers.

“After attack on synagogue, Mamdani warns Jews fleeing for Israel are violating international law” (World Israel News 21 November 2025).

The report immediately below is taken from World Israel News 21- Nov 2025. Section sub-heads below are added by Christian Comment. Subsequent brief commentary by Christian Comment. In the report there is a reference to the FACE Act. For clarity this is the ‘Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances’ Act, a 1994 US federal law that prohibits certain actions intended to obstruct or threaten access to reproductive health services. This makes it a federal crime to threaten, intimidate, or injure individuals seeking to enter or exit a clinic, or to physically obstruct a clinic’s entrance. The law also prohibits the destruction of clinic property.

Radical Mob

On Wednesday night, a mob of Muslims and radical leftists assaulted a synagogue in Manhattan. Much as in the past, the police allowed the mob to blockade the synagogue and terrorize the Jews in and around it, with no response. The pro-terror mob chanted calls for death and globalizing the ‘intifada’ . Taunts were shouted at local Jewish community members, as well as an explicit call for violence: “Take another settler out”.

These same kinds of mobs had previously attacked a Holocaust museum in LA screening a documentary about Oct 7 and a number of synagogues on the pretext that they provided space to a real estate agent selling apartments in Jerusalem. The pretext for the attack on the Park East Synagogue was that ‘Nefesh b’Nefesh’ (Soul to Soul), a Jewish group that promotes immigration to Israel, was holding an event there.

Two-tier response

Any protest outside a mosque has been met with immediate condemnation and police action. Islamist mobs, however, have been allowed to get away with these attacks again and again even though the FACE Act specifically prohibits blocking access to houses of worship. The Trump administration – for the first time – filed FACE charges over a similar attack on a synagogue in New Jersey.

But, in a taste of things to come, Zohran Mamdani’s spokeswoman mildly stated that the Islamist preparing to take over New York City “has discouraged the language used at last night’s protest”, like the calls to murder Jews, and then condemned the synagogue in terms very familiar to those defending previous attacks, stating that “sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law”.

International law?

According to Mamdani, Jews fleeing the Muslim mobs of his movement are violating “international law” by taking refuge in their homeland. Once Mamdani takes office, the mob that attacked a synagogue will be on the inside. As an assemblyman, Mamdani and his first endorsee, Aber Kawas, an anti-Israel ‘Palestinian’ activist, had introduced a BDS bill that would shut down most Jewish nonprofit groups. He’ll now have the power to do far worse.

The goal of this harassment is to terrorize Jews and then eventually Christians out of public life. It starts with intimidating and shutting down any events having to do with Israel. This provides a pretext for harassment of Jews under the guise of fighting ‘Zionism’. They can then protest Jewish prayers, next, because these mention the biblical verses about the ingathering of the exiles to Israel. And Mamdani will declare that Jewish prayers violate international law.

Christian comment

Whilst this report emerges from a tabloid source, its underlying message seems congruent with what we are seeing internationally, and the evolving idea that international ‘laws’ can be used as a weapon to stifle free-speech in AN-other country(ies). We are likely to see a situation emerge where Israel will be awarded pariah status on the international stage and, in essence, declared a terrorist state. On that basis Mamdani’s comment that to flee to Israel is ‘illegal’ under ‘international law’ becomes very plausible. Warfare waged against Israel. And lawfare waged against Israel. It is notable that the world’s two great financial hubs – London and New York – now have a Moslem Mayor.

We noted last month that our world is changing rapidly and that certain agendas are being engineered across borders under the guise of ‘Progressivism” (“How to Steal The World”: https://christiancomment.org/2025/10/29/how-to-steal-the-world/  )

It has been commented before that Jewish people will regather into Israel at the End Time and that this has been clearly prophesied (Ezekiel 36:8 and 37: 14, especially). Likewise the world must arise against Israel (Zechariah 14: 2 especially). This downloadable resource helps focus on God’s dealings with Israel, as well as the world’s opposition to Israel, for readers who wish to dig deeper: https://christian-publications-int.com/images/PDF/Israel_and_Gods_Purposes.pdf . We must wonder how long it will be before the exploration of these themes will be declared ‘illegal’ and the people who have the temerity to promote these truths will be socially and economically ‘cancelled’.
