Mayor Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his video commemorating “Nakba Day” as criticism from Jewish organizations mounted Monday.

Hizzoner downplayed The Post’s report on Sunday that at least three high-profile leaders of mainstream Jewish groups were rejecting invitations to his “Jewish Heritage” event at Gracie Mansion Monday evening over his anti-Israel rhetoric.

“My message to Jewish leaders across the city is that my door is always open, that I look forward to welcoming a number of those leaders to Gracie Mansion this evening through Shavuot,” Mamdani told reporters at an unrelated press conference in The Bronx.

“It is part of a commitment to be the mayor for everyone, and that means a mayor for those who voted for you, who didn’t vote for you, who didn’t vote at all, and that also means that there will be times where you will meet New Yorkers at an event, at a specific conversation out on the street, and I look forward to all of those interactions,” he added.

One of the local leaders snubbing the mayor’s event, Mark Treyger, the CEO Jewish Community Relations Council, which organizes the city’s Israel Day Parade, specifically called out Mamdani for his anti-Israel message sent out Friday evening, just before Jewish New Yorkers observed Shabbat.

National Jewish groups also expressed outrage over the post about the displacement of Palestinians during the creation of Israel in 1948, noting it omitted key historical context.

“Using City Hall resources to post a one-sided video about Israel’s founding — omitting the UN partition plan, the Arab rejection, the reasons that many Palestinians left, the many who stayed and the 850,000 Jewish refugees forced to leave Arab lands  — isn’t commemoration. It’s propaganda,” The Anti-Defamation League of New York and New Jersey railed in a post to X Monday morning.

“Releasing it right before Shabbat isn’t leadership. It’s provocation,” the group added.

But the fallout from the video didn’t stop Mamdani from doubling down on the post — which shared the story of “Nakba survivor” and New York City resident Inea Bushnaq

“I firmly believe that acknowledging one people’s pain does not preclude you from the acknowledgement of another people’s,” he said Monday, adding that it was a “privilege” to share the story of Bushnaq.

In addition to Treyger, both the  UJA Federation of New York, and Rabbi Joseph Potasanik, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis, had also said they wouldn’t be attending the event at Gracie.

“Jewish heritage should include recognition of the state of Israel,” Potasnik said. “Jewish history didn’t end in 1946 … We will be marching in the Israel Day Parade to express our support for Israel.”

Other Jewish groups also blasted the post for what they called an outrageous, one-sided take. 

“Ok!! I’m done being nice… You are putting Jews everywhere at risk by not providing historical context for this,” United Jewish Teachers President Moshe Spern fumed on X.

“You are putting Jews in harms way!! Enough is enough!!”

Mamdani had shared the video featuring Bushnaq to his official mayoral X account with the caption: “Today marks Nakba Day, an annual remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.”

“Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us – one of home, tradition and memory over generations.”

Bushnaq said in the video interview that she fled when she was nine years old after bullets came through her home. 

“The Zionists were coming into Jerusalem,” Bushnaq said in the interview, which did not feature Mamdani.

Mamdani posted the video to his social media channels the same day that NYPD and federal law enforcement announced they had foiled a Hezbollah attack on a Manhattan synagogue.

“Let me be clear: antisemitism, violent extremism, and terrorism have no place in our city. This kind of hate is despicable,” Mamdani said following the news. 

The day prior, a swastika flag was raised over Manhattan’s Washington Square Park – which Mamdani called a “hateful anti-semitic act.”
