In the NYC mayoral elections, Jewish leaders have lost the will to survive

Instead, the real story is whether the Jewish leaders and members of the Jewish community of New York City still possess the Jewish will to survive. On the other hand, perhaps there is no greater indication of the fast-moving death of the American Jewish diaspora community than the inability of New York Jews to prevent an antisemitic Moslem from being elected the next mayor. And, if he still will not leave the race, thus ensuring the next mayor is a Jew-hater, then the Jewish leaders will have to behave like real men and clearly explain the facts of life to Cuomo.
