New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has moved to force a drone manufacturer out of the city-owned Brooklyn Navy Yard, with critics accusing City Hall of deliberately targeting the company over its links to ‘Israel’ and its role in monitoring the Gaza Strip border.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation declined to renew the lease of Easy Aerial just six weeks after Mamdani took office, a decision that has been framed by allies of the mayor as an ethical stand and by opponents as politically driven retaliation.
New York City Council member Lincoln Restler openly celebrated the company’s removal, saying public land should not be used by firms whose technology is “being transformed into weapons of war.”
Sounds like a wildly inflammatory headline.
Looks to me like Mamdani’s using his power to hold genociders and their collaborators accountable.
I changed the term “targets” to " expells" to more accurately describe the situation, I didn’t think anyone would see it as inflammatory only a positive development.

I imagine it’s mostly just us Lemmings who see it as a positive thing overall. :)
You’d be surprised how much the average person hates Israel by now.
You’re probably right. I hope you’re right.
