After reading the article, do you consider this to be like the hysteria from anti-Trump celebrities?  It sounds to me more like healthy concern, with the financial worries coming before the oppression part.  I do find it ironic that Plano is courting people, given the massive Sharia complex being built nearby.

From Texas to Tel Aviv, invitations go out to Jews fleeing 'Mamdani's New York'


Just hours after New York City's mayor election was called for Zohran Mamdani, a top Israeli official issued an invitation.


"New York will never be the same again, especially not for its Jewish community," Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli tweeted.  "I invite the Jews of New York to seriously consider making their new home in the Land of Israel."


Chikli's call dovetailed with another appeal to Jewish New Yorkers made by a spokesman for the Jewish settlement in Hebron, Yishai Fleisher.


"Indeed, it was a great run, and you were a blessing to NYC.  But Jews will feel less and less comfortable in the Big Apple," tweeted Fleisher.  "So do yourself a favor, buy real estate in the Land of Israel."

 

The outreach from Israel sought to reach the majority of New York Jews who voted against Mamdani, many of whom saw his criticism of Israel as a warning sign for the safety of the city's Jewish communities under his leadership.  [...]

Zohran Mamdani taps ex-con rapper who served 7 years for armed robbery as criminal justice adviser on transition team: ‘Insane’
 

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has picked a controversial rapper who did seven years in state prison for armed robbery to advise him on the criminal justice system, The Post has learned.

Mysonne Linen, 49, a Bronx convict-turned-activist who was found guilty of two felony heists in the late 1990s, was appointed by the democratic socialist to sit on his mayoral transition’s “criminal legal system” committee — just one of many questionable picks.

“This is a testament to our decades of work advocating on behalf of black and brown communities and our expertise in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy and criminal justice reform,” Linen boasted on Instagram last month after the position was announced. “We are building something different.”
