Despite countless instances of Jew hate in New York in these last two years, the attorney general has decided an obscure Jewish group is the real problem.

Imagine the outcry if a group of Jewish public schoolteachers would announce a “Zionist teach-in” for MLK Day. Would Mayor Mamdani allow such a disruption of a national holiday?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. supported Israel’s right to exist. He saw Zionism as a legitimate national liberation movement and understood Jewish self-determination in the shadow of the Holocaust. He also understood something that seems to confuse many people today: that “anti-Zionism” often functions as a polite substitute for antisemitism.
