Mamdanis judicial panel has zero Jewish members but includes lawyer for domestic terrorist, Luigi Mangione apologist

Mayor Zohran Mamdani didn’t pick one Jewish person to serve on his judicial screening panel, but he did appoint a lawyer for a domestic terrorist, a Luigi Mangione apologist – and even a former male prostitute.The social media-loving socialist, a staunch critic of Israel, even reportedly rejected Jewish retired Judge John Leventhal because he had served on the legal team for pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s pal and convicted sex-trafficking accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.But Hizzoner didn’t disqualify prison reform activist Soffiyah Elijah from his 18-member Advisory Committe on the Judiciary, despite the fact she’s represented and rubbed elbows with Weather Underground terrorist Marilyn Buck and infamous cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.Elijah, founder of the Alliance of Families for Justice, has represented a who’s who of radicals and self-proclaimed “political prisoners” like Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of killing Philadelphia police Officer Daniel Faulkner.The activist also reportedly welcomed into her own home Weather Underground member Buck, after she had served more than two decades in prison for her role in a 1981 Brinks armored car robbery that saw a guard and two cops killed.Elijah worked with Sundiata Acoli, who was put behind bars for the 1973 killing of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster, as well as members of the San Francisco 8, former Black Panthers charged in relation to the killing of San Francisco police Sgt.John Young in 1971.Mamdani also appointed former New York American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Jared Trujilo, an admitted former sex worker who has lobbied to decriminalize prostitution and called for dismantling the NYPD Vice Squad as part of a an effort to reduce the force’s size, scope and power.Trujillo, now a professor at CUNY Law School, has also blasted Gov.
