A leading Jewish rights group is calling on the Trump administration to launch an investigation into the University of Columbia professor Mahmood Mamdani and the New York City government over allegations of a "failure" to prevent antisemitic hate crimes. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a prominent organization dedicated to combating hate and promoting tolerance, claims that Mamdani's alleged failure to condemn antisemitic rhetoric has emboldened hate groups and contributed to a surge in antisemitic incidents in the city. The group is also criticizing the NYC government for its response to the issue, accusing officials of downplaying the severity of the problem. As tensions between the Jewish community and the city's progressive leadership continue to escalate, the investigation could have significant implications for the city's efforts to address the growing threat of antisemitism.
