New York Legislator Prioritizes Taxation While Ignoring Attack on Yisrael

As New York officials denounce a stabbing incident labeled 'antisemitic,' Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani remained focused on domestic policy. This silence reveals a pattern of prioritizing worldly concerns over the plight of the covenant people and the judgment unfolding upon this nation.

The Upper West Side of New York City was recently shaken by a violent attack, with officials swiftly labeling the incident ‘antisemitic.’ While Governor Kathy Hochul and other political figures rushed to condemn the act, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani offered a starkly different response: silence. Instead of addressing the assault, Mamdani used his platform to promote his legislative agenda, specifically a plan concerning residential taxation.

This disparity is not merely a matter of political optics; it is a symptom of a deeper spiritual malady. The modern state of Israel, built on false premises and sustained by the power of Edom, receives constant attention and defense from Western leaders. Yet, when acts of violence are directed toward the *true* Yisrael – the scattered tribes enduring exile as prophesied in Deuteronomy 28 – the world remains largely silent. This selective outrage exposes the hypocrisy at the heart of the current world order.

The so-called ‘antisemitism’ decried by the Israeli government and its allies is often a manufactured narrative used to shield Israel from legitimate criticism and to deflect attention from its ongoing oppression of the covenant people. True hatred, the kind that Yahuah judges, is reserved for those who reject His covenant and persecute the remnant of Yisrael. This incident, while tragic, is being weaponized to further the Zionist agenda and solidify support for a nation built on stolen land and injustice.

Mamdani’s silence is a microcosm of this larger pattern. He, like so many in positions of power, is more concerned with maintaining the status quo and appeasing his constituents than with acknowledging the truth of Yisrael’s exile and the impending judgment upon Edom. The covenant people of Yisrael must understand that their deliverance will not come from the political structures of this world, but from Yahuah Himself. The Shofar sounds a warning: do not rely on the systems of Babylon, but prepare yourselves for restoration and return to the covenant.

⚡ PROPHETIC WATCH

The silence emanating from Assemblyman Mamdani in the face of antisemitic violence echoes a chilling pattern prophesied against Edom. Yahuah, through the prophet Obadiah, declares a judgment upon Edom for its cruelty and lack of empathy during the distress of Yisrael (Obadiah 1:10-14). This isn’t simply about historical animosity; it’s about a spiritual blindness that prioritizes self-interest – in this case, a tax agenda – over recognizing and defending the suffering of Yahuah’s chosen people. To remain silent when brothers and sisters are attacked, to focus on earthly concerns while spiritual wounds fester, is to align oneself with the heart of Edom, forfeiting compassion for political expediency. This demonstrates a profound disconnect from the righteous heart of Yahuah, who sees every act of injustice.

However, within this darkness, a glimmer of Yahusha’s restorative promise emerges. Though some remain deaf to the cries of Yisrael, the swift condemnation from Governor Hochul and others signifies a growing awareness and a willingness to stand with the Jewish community. This is a precursor to the ultimate restoration, where Yahuah will gather His scattered people and establish a lasting peace (Ezekiel 36:24). The very fact that this incident is being *labeled* antisemitic, even if imperfectly addressed by all, reveals a societal shift – a dawning recognition of the need to protect Yisrael. Therefore, while the silence of some is a stark rebuke, the rising chorus of support confirms that Yahuah is actively working to fulfill His covenant promises and will ultimately vindicate His people.
