A Tale Of Two Visions: Sliwa’s Safe Streets Vs. Mamdani’s Dangerous Dreams

As antisemitism surges, New Yorkers must choose: a leader who protects Jewish lives—or one who praises those who seek our harm.

Curtis Sliwa was born and raised in New York City, and at age 71 has lived here his whole life. He was born into a working-class family and therefore easily relates to the economic and daily struggles of New Yorkers. Sliwa has a sharp, insightful mind, a passion for the truth, an encyclopedic knowledge of the city and its history, and a strong historical perspective on how city policies have impacted families, safety, and communities for over 40 years. He founded the Guardian Angels in New York City in 1979 in an effort to fight crime, and serves as its chief executive officer. Under Sliwa's leadership, this incredible volunteer organization has expanded to 130 cities worldwide! SLIWA'S LIFE WORK HAS BEEN FIGHTING CRIME AND ASSISTING THE POLICE HERE AND AROUND THE WORLD. The many, many young men and women who volunteer for the Guardian Angels deserve our profound respect, admiration, and gratitude.

Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda, and at age 33 has lived as an adult in New York for about 15 years. He comes from a wealthy family, and therefore has never known poverty or economic struggles. In 2020 he was elected to the State Assembly, where he's accomplished next to nothing (some say he's accomplished ABSOLUTELY nothing.)

Curtis Sliwa has plans to increase the ranks of the NYPD by 7,000 officers, along with many other crime-fighting plans to help keep the men, women, and children of NYC safe. He is acquainted with every neighborhood in the five boroughs along with their individual problems, weaknesses and strengths. He passionately wants to improve the safety and quality of life for all New Yorkers, as his love for the city and its people is boundless.

Mamdani wants to defund the police and eventually do away with the NYPD. He wants to empty Rikers Island, thus adding to the criminal population on our streets. Just at a time when crime-fighting progress is being made, Mamdani's plans will take us back to the days of dangerous, crime-ridden streets.

Curtis Sliwa understands, as we all do, that free enterprise/capitalism has worked in America for 249 years, and it has been a grand success for countries around the globe. He wants this system to remain with us permanently, as do all normal Americans.

Mamdani is a self proclaimed socialist, and wants to turn NYC into a socialist city. This means the government will “seize the means of production” (which is right out of the Marxist handbook), it will take ownership of grocery stores (and maybe even private property), causing empty shelves, citizens reduced to poverty, and the end of the free enterprise system which has helped make our country great. Looking at world history, one can easily see that Socialism/Communism has NEVER worked, causing only misery for the masses of people and enriching only the leaders of those unfortunate countries. Just look at Cuba, Red China, Venezuela, the Soviet Union, and the Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War Era. Each one of these is a miserable failure. Is this what we want for New York City??

Curtis Sliwa wants safety for ALL of the city's people, especially the Jews at this time of growing antisemitism. He loves Israel and the Jewish people, is a staunch believer in Judeo-Christian values, and has many associates who are Jewish and pro-Israel (in fact, Curtis probably knows more about Torah Judaism than most secular Jews). He understands how terrorist organizations seek to destroy Israel and the Jewish people, and eventually Western society.

Mamdani, who has shown support for the murderous terrorist group Hamas and has displayed antisemitic views, associates with individuals who support terrorist groups, and hates the idea of Israel existing as a Jewish state. He believes in “globalizing the intifada,” which simply means attacking and murdering Jews NOT ONLY IN ISRAEL, BUT IN CITIES AROUND THE WORLD. And he will not retract that statement. In a recent interview he was given no less than THREE chances to retract those words, but failed to do so.

And last but not least, Mamdani is full of “pie in the sky” promises that cannot possibly work in the real world, while Curtis Sliwa has concrete plans to greatly improve NYC and make life better and SAFER for millions of New Yorkers. Visit Mr. Sliwa's comprehensive website for details.
