A Jewish civil rights group, the National Jewish Advocacy Center (NJAC), has demanded answers from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he allegedly deleted two posts from the official mayoral X account that highlighted the city's fight against antisemitism. The posts were shared by former Mayor Eric Adams just hours before Mamdani took office. The NJAC accused Mamdani of erasing official statements affirming the safety and protection of Jewish New Yorkers, which they deemed 'shameful' and potentially violating the city's charter. Mamdani's spokesperson insisted that the deleted posts were being archived and that the process was administrative in nature, not based on content. Mamdani has faced criticism for his past stance on Israel and support for Palestine, but has also taken steps to earn support from New York's Jewish community since his election.
