Anti-Israel Mamdani, NYPD’s Tisch appear chummy at crime-fighting events — days after she reportedly called out ‘antisemitic rhetoric’

Anti-Israel Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Jewish NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch appeared chummy Tuesday at “National Night Out Against Crime” events — days after the police boss reportedly called out “antisemitic rhetoric.”
The pair gave every indication of mutual friendliness onstage at the back-to-back events in Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn and Harlem in Manhattan, where they hyped up the annual community-building program designed to foster partnerships between neighborhood members and police.
As a loud and excited Mamdani worked the crowd, Tisch touted recent NYPD statistics showing dramatic declines in crime.
“We have the lowest numbers of murders, shootings, and shooting victims ever recorded in the City of New York,” she said in Brooklyn.
Left unsaid by Tisch was a rise in hate crimes under Mamdani’s still-young tenure as mayor, with more than half of the incidents targeting Jewish New Yorkers.
The hateful incidents included last month’s pair of stabbings on the Upper West Side, allegedly by a deranged hooligan who targeted a Jewish man wearing a yarmulke and an Asian man.

The stabbings prompted many Jewish advocates to blame at least part of the violence on Mamdani’s outspoken anti-Israel views, including that the Jewish nation’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is leading a genocide in Gaza and should be arrested.
Tisch, a supporter of Israel, spoke at an Upper West Side synagogue after the stabbings and vowed to protect Jewish New Yorkers, Politico reported.
“We have seen antisemitic rhetoric move toward direct calls for violence,” she reportedly said.
After their Brooklyn appearance together, Mamdani and Tisch shared the stage again in Harlem.
The fired-up mayor — who once called the NYPD “racist,” in another stark difference with the cop-boosting Tisch — heaped praise on the city’s police force for helping deliver “public safety at record levels.
“I want to say thank you to every man and woman who is serving the NYPD, both in this neighborhood and precinct, and across the five boroughs,” he said.
