Most Americans did not want to enter World War II immediately after Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939. The U.S. was heavily isolationist, and sought to avoid foreign conflicts. The American public was wrong in Sept 1939 and they are wrong today.

So Mayor Mamadani, will you protect Iranian Americans ?

We don't always agree with you Mr. Ackman. On this, AMEN
