Next Sunday, May 31, more than 50,000 people will march up Fifth Ave. in the Celebrate Israel Parade, as tens of thousands will line the route, reveling in the fact that Israel in its 78th year is a proud Jewish democracy in our indigenous homeland.

The Knesset, Israel’s parliament, is sending its largest delegation in the parade’s history. Mayor Mamdani — unsurprisingly — confirmed he will not be among us. In doing so, he will be the first mayor of New York to make that choice in the parade’s six-decade history.

Mr. Mayor, do us a favor. Stay home in Gracie Mansion. We don’t want you, your rhetoric, and your diatribe to ruin our proud day.

Last weekend, just before the Jewish Sabbath began, Mamdani posted a four-minute propaganda video marking the “Nakba.” The “Nakba” translates to a “great catastrophe.” The “Nakba” was declared by the Palestinians on the day Israel became an independent state.

Not once does he acknowledge that the “Nakba” was the result of Israel’s neighbors declaring war on the Jewish state the moment it was born. Not once does he mention the 850,000 Jews who were expelled from their homes in Arab lands after Israel’s 1948 independence. 

For the mayor of New York to invoke the “Nakba” during American Jewish Heritage Month shows a complete disregard and insensitivity for what his Jewish constituents are living through right now. Can you be more tone deaf, Mr.........
