New York governor Andrew Cuomo, with much fanfare, announced today his executive order divesting public funds from all campaigns that support Boycotts, Divestments or Sanctions against the State of Israel.
The press-conference about this Executive Order, held on a Sunday, was transmitted on Twitter and Facebook, among other social media sources.
First of all, I do not believe that the Executive Order of Governor Cuomo is legal - because it refers to national foreign policy, to the State of Israel being an "invaluable ally", and expressing a standpoint on a sensitive international policy issue.
Governor Cuomo, as a state Governor, has no right to make any decisions impacting foreign policy of the United States.
Moreover, if, as it was mentioned at the press-conference introducing this executive order, the order was meant to fight anti-semitism, Governor Cuomo should then start practicing what he preaches - and see that New York Attorney General's Office and the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct do not receive public funds, since both of these entities openly support anti-semitism:
1) New York State Commission for Judicial Conduct - by refusing to prosecute anti-semitic conduct of Chenango County Supreme Court judge Kevin Dowd; and
2) New York State Attorney General - by representing Judge Dowd against a now-pro se appellant Moshe Schtrauch and claiming on behalf of Judge Dowd that Judge Dowd's violent unlawful anti-semitic behavior regarding Moshe Shtrauch was justified as "preventing disruptions of court proceedings" (Judge Dowd ordered a known anti-Semitic security officer, a Nazi sympathizer, who was armed, to forcibly eject Moshe Shtrauch, the citizen of the State of Israel, out of the Chenango County courthouse AFTER Judge Dowd recused from Moshe Shtrauch's divorce case - because Moshe Shtrauch had the audacity of bringing a motion to recuse Judge Dowd, which Judge Dowd granted).
The transcript of the conference after which Judge Dowd recused and ordered ejection of Moshe Shtrauch does not show any disrespectful statements by Moshe Shtrauch or any other signs of claimed "disruption" of the court proceedings, and no proof of such disruption was ever provided to the court since the case was dismissed before discovery on the grounds of "absolute judicial immunity" for malicious and corrupt acts.
And those malicious and corrupt acts include Anti-Semitic acts on the bench by New York judges.
NOW.
In view of today's Executive Order - has Judge Dowd just been stripped off services of the New York State Attorney General?
After all, the Executive Order prohibited the use of taxpayer money to support anti-semitism.
Right?
So, Judge Dowd should not be represented by New York State Attorney General any more in opposition of Moshe Shtrauch's pro se appeal in his civil rights case against Judge Dowd.
Right?
Or, is it just lip service by Cuomo to the "largest Jewish population out of the State of Israel" (in New York) while Cuomo is the target of a criminal investigation by the feds?
A cry for help to the wealthy Jewish community to apply some pressure upon U.S. Assistant Attorney Preet Bharara?
The investigation against Cuomo has gotten that bad?
What remains is - while New York Attorney General continues to assert violent Anti-Semitism of a judge against a citizen of the State of Israel (or anybody else), even after he recused from a case, as subject to "absolute judicial immunity" - the executive order is nothing other than hypocrisy, a distinguishing feature of Cuomo.
