Shlomo Shmir, a commentator for 'Maariv', analyzes in a sharp opinion piece the figure of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Shmir calls him 'the embodiment of nothingness' and lacking skills, struggling to understand how over a million New Yorkers elected him. He argues that Israeli reports on Mamdani as an inciter of hatred toward Israel are exaggerated, and that the progressive candidates he supported are fringe within the Democratic Party. However, Shmir admits Mamdani has turned antisemitism into a joke and insulted stupidity. He mentions Mamdani's statements against Netanyahu's visit to New York, but notes he has no authority to stop the prime minister. Shmir concludes that the Jewish community in New York is not afraid of him.
