The Jewish Majority, an organization that seeks to offer an accurate rendering of Jewish priorities, has elicited the support of more than 900 rabbis across the country stating their opposition to New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani. They cite his record of virulent anti-Semitism as their principal objection.
“When public figures like New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani refuse to condemn violent slogans, deny Israel’s legitimacy, and accuse the Jewish state of genocide, they, in the words of New York Board of Rabbis president Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, ‘Delegitimize the Jewish community and encourage and exacerbate hostility toward Judaism and Jews.’”
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, the nation’s oldest and largest Catholic civil rights organization, supports this statement, which is why I signed the letter (those who are not Jewish are invited to sign). Catholics who would like to sign, click here.
We have been a vocal opponent of Mamdani for months.
On August 20, I released an 18-page report titled, “The Inauthenticity of Zohran Mamdani.” It spells out in great detail why he is a menace to New York City, and to Jews, in particular. On September 30, I released another statement, “Mamdani’s Communist Roots.” This was followed by another post, “Does Mamdani Hate Minorities?”
Mamdani not only wants to be the Mayor of New York City, he wants to be the new face of the Democratic Party nationwide. This should matter to everyone, regardless of their political affiliation. The man’s policies are divisive, inane and downright dangerous.
