Mamdani’s NYC Health Department Launches ‘Global Oppression Working Group,’ Attacking Jewish State

As garbage piles up on city sidewalks and  the rat population grows exponentially, NYC Mayor Mamdani and his administration are focused on …. demonizing and attacking the Jewish people. Instead of concentrating on sanitation, rodent control, and core public health responsibilities, employees within Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Health Department have launched a “Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group” that  targets the Jewish state, accusing Israel of genocide.

The meeting reportedly took place during the workday at department headquarters in Long Island City and remotely, drawing backlash from observers.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson responded sharply, saying, “Instead of trying to force a radical-left foreign policy agenda, the bureaucrats in Zohran Mamdani’s Department of Health should focus on delivering the services New Yorkers pay for with their tax dollars.”

According to the New York Post, former mayoral representatives and critics questioned why a taxpayer-funded public health agency appeared to be veering into foreign policy matters rather than concentrating on sanitation, disease prevention, and essential services for residents.

Our Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had a nice response: Instead of trying to force a radical-left foreign policy agenda, the bureaucrats in Zohran Mamdani’s Department of Health should focus on delivering the services New Yorkers pay for with their tax dollars (Johnson).

New York Post: Employees of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Department of Health have created a “working group” that accuses Israel of committing genocide, The Post has learned. DOH staffers held the first “Global Oppression and Public Health Working Group” meeting Tuesday afternoon — in the middle of the workday — with members gathering at the department’s headquarters in Long Island City, as well as remotely…. A former rep to ex-three term Mayor Mike Bloomberg was stunned that the DOH mission appeared to have veered suddenly from the public health of New Yorkers to foreign policy. “This is shocking. If these NYC Health Department staffers truly believe Israel is committing genocide, will they now boycott the Israeli pharmaceutical companies that make lifesaving drugs New Yorkers depend on?” said Mark Botnick, who is Jewish. “Or is this just performative politics that has no place in a taxpayer-funded public health agency?” said Botnick (New York Post).

My brother: NYC 10 days after the snow. The bike lanes aren’t plowed so the bikes & messengers are driving on the sidewalk. Garbage everywhere. Try crossing the street in a wheelchair or with a baby stroller. Acceptable failure to cover for nepo baby communist Zohan. pic.twitter.com/zzoigXsGgb
