What A Missing Israel Day Parade Appearance Signals In New York City Politics

If a leader shows up everywhere except at one, that’s not a mistake—it’s a message. This episode of The Rant Network calls out the growing gap between political promises and visible actions, where optics replace substance and selective appearances speak louder than any speech. New York Mayor Mamdani will purpously skip the Israel Day Parade, but attend other communities and pro-terrorists and anti-democratic parades. This sends clear signals that should not only be heard by ethnic, but to all Americans. Leadership isn’t about what you say—it’s about where you stand when it counts. Like it or not, this is the Democratic Party in 2026.

Collared Shirts And Calling It Lying

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Oh David, David, David, David. Wearing a collared shirt once again. Wearing a collared shirt that looked rather fun.

SPEAKER_01 0:13

Just because you look like a schlump in those white T's that you always like to wear. And some of us have to look professional, and some of us have to really look the part, you know. I gotta do it. But by the way, speaking of looking the part, or playing the part for that matter, let me ask you a simple question, my good friend. If you know someone who says he doesn't do something, but does it consistently, what do you call that individual?

SPEAKER_00 0:43

I don't know, David. What do you call a person like that? A liar. Oh, I like this. I love the vernacular.

SPEAKER_01 0:52

You know, like it just amazes me to see that how this guy can stand up in front of a crowd and say, no, no, no. And yet, look what he does again and again and again. Stewie, take it away, my friend.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

You know, there's something to be said about someone that smiles at you, lies to you, and does it repeatedly, and no one wants to call it

Skipping The Israel Day Parade

SPEAKER_00 1:21

out. Well, Mandami's, how do I say this? Let's start this off right. Mandami's Manhattan and the Democratic calculated abandonment of Jewish America. I think that's the way we're gonna start today. Zoran Mandami went to every parade in New York City this weekend. Every single one. He found the time for all of them, except one: the Israeli Day Parade. And on the very same day, he was a no-show. His supporters were in the streets of Manhattan screaming against the only democracy in the Middle East. You want to know what the Democratic puts looks like in 2026? You're looking at it. Creeps, freaks, guys like Mandali. Let's be clear about what happened here and what didn't happen by accident. Because though you he would like you to believe, oh, I'm so sorry. He's full of shit. Zara Mandani is a Democratic Socialist mayor of New York City. He's not some fringe candidate, he's not some protest vote. He is a direction of the entire Democratic Party in the largest city in America who picked him to run. You know, this man or creep or terrorist wants to run this city, the city of the largest Jewish community population outside of Israel. Like the way they run Iran. Literally. In the day of the parade on the calendar, he said, not for me. He had time for every other cultural celebration. He made appearances, he showed up where the cameras were and the votes were. But Israel's day parade can't make it. Something came up. This isn't, and this will never be a scheduling conflict. Do not let anyone sell you that lie for 30 seconds like they will on CNN, MSM now, and those creepy CBC networks. When a politician's running for office, he has to be everywhere. But when he's in office and skips the Israeli Day parade, making rounds everywhere for ethnic cultural events on the calendar, it's a statement. That's a political politician telling you a specific community, your votes aren't worth courting. Your security is not worth defending, and your solidarity is optional as he constantly removes security from any Jewish event. Now, this is the same Zoran Mandami who just launched what he's calling COG, a government efficiency commission. He openly modeled on Elon Musk's Dodge. The same Dodge left spent two years calling it fascist. The same Dodge they said was destroying democracy. Now the guy in New York wants his own version, chaired by Soros, aligned Democrats. That's a joke. But here's what New Yorkers should care about. Anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City surged since October 7th. To Mandami's delight, mind you, Jewish New Yorkers have been attacked on subways, harassed on college campuses, and have had their businesses vandalized. And the man who wants to be that man for another term is Mayor Mandani. He wants the keys to the NYPD, who controls their funds. The city hate crime unit set the tone on how 8 million people treat each other. Can't find 90 minutes to show up and stand with them. Let's not forget about the 46 Americans that were murdered by Hamas, which, by the way, as a side note, has been removed from Wikipedia, which is a whole other conversation, Dave, we should get into 46 American citizens slaughtered by the same movement that Mundami's activist-based defends and fundraise around. And the man wants to continue to be mayor of lots of people that he lost that day. The Jewish community of New York City deserves a mayor who will show up literally on a parade route in person and say, I'm with you. Mandami had that moment, he skipped it. That tells you everything about who he is, what he believes in, and what a Mandami mayor looks like in 2026 and beyond. That's what it means for the Jewish community. David, here's what I want you to take away. The Democratic Party used to at least pretend they stand with the Jewish community. They showed up to events and said the right things, cast the checks, and move on. That year is over. Bandami isn't pretending. He's not even going through the motions. He's calculated cold, boldly, like his mother and father, scumbags, politically, that they are pro-Hamas, pro-Iran, pro-Mullahs, pro-anti-Israel, pro-anti-Western, pro. Go on. And let me tell you something. That's the Democratic Party for 2026. Not a party that's moved slightly to the left, a party that has deliberately changed its electoral decision to leave the democratic society. Standing alone on a parade route, wondering where the allies are. You know, I always normally kick it to you, David, by saying, you know,

Hate Crimes And Political Messaging

SPEAKER_00 7:44

here's a few things. What do you think? And I really bring in Canada and throw it at you. You always get like bitterly upset. I bring up Canada. But I do want to bring up something that I saw that I know you saw on Instagram. For how many years were there people on campuses like McGill just trying to lift up a flag and take occupy some space for freedom or whatever they wanted to get across? Wasn't there the other day someone standing on McGill campus and got removed by security because they had an Israeli flag? You know, by the way, what about all those people on Columbia, NYU, Berkeley? Why is security not doing the same thing that they did for two years for these psychopaths? The Democratic Party, David, has been lost. It's now a fascist party. All right, good.

SPEAKER_01 8:44

All right, you made a nice fruit salad as you usually do, because McGill and Mamdani have nothing to do with each other. They just act the same. It's just an evolution of what society in certain parts of society, Stuart, have accepted as the new normal. And Mamdani, you know, this Sunday, you know, when thousands and thousands, not just Jews, Israelis, Iranians, other ethnic communities are gonna walk with Israelis proud. Because not what the problem is, is Mamdani wants you to focus in on the fact that is what Israel is bad at, right? It's the whole bad Israel is bad, Israel's bad. Okay? And it's it is wrapped around, you know, you know, when you get a filet mignon that's wrapped around with bacon, you taste the bacon, not the filet mignon. That's what you're getting, people. So Ram Mamdani is your bacon that he's wrapping himself around. That's what you're getting a taste of. And all he wants to do is to spread it and destroy Israel. But why, Stuart? What you didn't ask, are so many other ethnic communities gonna walk with Jews on Sunday? It's simple. Western values is has been adopted in Israel. The only country in the Middle East that adopted full Western values is in the Middle East. So I'm gonna run through a few things, Stuart, what Zoran Mamdani should be called out for. He's anti-gay, but Israel is not. Israel does not do that. Israel provides an equal opportunity for women, whether they're Jewish, Muslim, Christian, or any other ethnic community. And also democracy, which Zora Mamdani doesn't want to have. And they're, by the way, neither does the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party wants to continue to tell you that they're the party of the people, but they wanted to ref want you to forget that they're the party that voted against eliminating slavery, they're the party that's that didn't want the civil rights movement, that every that they were the one who did not want to give women the right to vote. It was the Democratic Party historically that's been doing it. And they duped society over decades to get you to believe that they were the party of the people. But when you bring in a Zora Dani, an AOC, and a Bernie Sanders who will not go to the Israel Day Parade because they don't believe in Western values or democracy. And that's what you're gonna see on Sunday. Not just Israeli flags down the street, and I can tell you from first-hand experience, Stuart, having done this parade in Montreal for over 20 years on the day of Israel's independence. When

Campus Protests And Western Values

SPEAKER_01 11:45

you see all these ethnic communities come together within Montreal, Stuart, and I've seen this in New York, yes, there are a lot of Israeli flags, but always Canadian flags, other countries in there, all espousing and wanting democracy and Western values, which is what you're not gonna see in what where Zorhan Banghani is gonna go when he's gonna walk in those pro-terrorist parades. What do you think is gonna happen? They'll burn American flags, they're gonna burn Israeli flags, they want to burn your democracy, and he's standing arm in arm, locked arms with these people. This, ladies and gentlemen, is your Democratic Party bringing in candidates that want to destroy your democracy. They've done it before and they want to keep doing it again. And when you sit here and you think about it, and you're saying that's not possible, it is, ladies and gentlemen. Because Barack Obama had no problem getting rid of an autocrat in Egypt, but then installing a terrorist organization to the Muslim Brotherhood who want to run Egypt. You've got a Democratic Party that today is sitting there trying to make sure that Israel does not get its weapons necessary to defend herself from terrorist organizations, that they stand arm in arm, locked arm, happy, proud to vote in all these measures. And oh, by the way, Stuart, one story about Zorhan and he's supporting this, I'm sure. And you people are saying this is a stretch. But the Democratic Party just doesn't want a women's museum. I don't know if you heard this in Washington. Smithson wants to open up a women's museum. You know why it's not going to open? Because the Democrats want biological males as part of the museum. And the Republicans said no, this is a museum dedicated to women. This is what your party has done. You've got a party for it, just it went very quiet. You have a party that with that's led by people like Zoran Mamdani, that people like AOC and Bernie Sanders want to put on a pedestal and say this is the new democratic party, full of racists, full of anti-democrats, anti-democracy, sorry, full of socialists, full of communists, full of people that want hate, that promote hate. If this is what you want, ladies and gentlemen, you get what you deserve.

SPEAKER_00 14:16

You know, David, you said I brought up fruit salad, but it was actually about anti-Western values, which is why I brought up the McGill campus thing. Because I saw that post that was.

Effigies Public Silence And Final Wrap

SPEAKER_00 14:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:38

And that was this past week, Stuart. I don't know if you saw, but these pro-terrorist groups decided to have an effigy. They they they had a hanging, a hanging of Donald Trump, of Benjamin Netanyahu, and and Minister Benkville. And they were proudly showing how they would hang these people. Now, at McGill, this happened a while back where there was one incident where there was Benjamin Netanyahu hanging at the gates of McGill. In the past, the mayor of Montreal said nothing. Police did nothing. Well, Stuart, you know what happened this week? Finally, a mayor with half a brain said, This is unacceptable in a democracy. We won't tolerate this kind of things. Imagine Zorhan Mamdani actually saying that when it comes up to anything. No, if you do something to his people, he'll be all in arms. But I want to probably call out Jessica Tish, who is the police commissioner of the New York City, who after Mamdani very happily and smuggly, like a used car salesman, stood there and smiled and said he's not gonna go to the Israel Day Parade. Jessica Tish stood up and said she is proudly attending, just to show you the difference in values.

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Ah, but you know, David, what I like most of all is I would love to be a reporter to ask him a question. You know, what's your opinion on the gay moolah? Oh, please. You know, I I I I just want to I want his opinion. I want to hear his thoughts on the gay moolah. That's it. I got nothing more to get today. You know, let's let's let's let's let's wrap it to wrap.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

Yeah, I think I think I think we've said you know, I think you have the wrong the wrong sound from Zaran Mamdani. That's what is that's what is that is the Democratic Party. All right. Have yourself a good weekend, everybody.

SPEAKER_00 16:46

That's it, guys. I'm calling it quiz. It's Friday. Hell with all these shit. Anyways, we're gonna see how well Monday, Wednesday, Friday, new Easter, grandma post mica blah blah blah. You hear part of it and you miss the other part. Well, then you gotta go to the website and get the whole broadcast. Because let me tell you something. There's so much shit between these pods, it's crazy. Actually, I just wanted you to know as a sidebar. Someone told me, goes, he started to say something, but then I missed what was the whole thing. I said, Well, you gotta go to the website and get the whole broadcast. Guys, www.rantnetwork.com. David spends his hours all day long loading up these broadcasts. So come on, give him a listen. All right.
