"This is a disgusting and heartbreaking act of antisemitism, and it has no place in our beautiful city. As Mayor, I will always stand steadfast with our Jewish neighbors to root the scourge of antisemitism out of our city."
"Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has contributed to a mainstreaming of some of the most abhorrent antisemitism, Buchdahl said, adding: His shocking 2023 accusationWhen the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it's been laced by the IDFcrosses the line clearly into antisemitism, not only demonizing Israelis, but echoing the age-old antisemitic trope that Jews across the world are the root cause of our problems here. His false claims of genocide, his reluctance to label Hamas a terrorist organization, his unwillingness to condemn phrases like globalize the Intifada, and absolute opposition to Israel as a Jewish state contributes to an atmosphere of denigration and ostracization of Jewish people everywhere."
Zohran Mamdani condemned a Swastika spray-painted on a Brooklyn yeshiva as a disgusting and heartbreaking act of antisemitism and pledged to stand steadfast with Jewish neighbors to root out antisemitism as mayor. He replied to a post about the vandalism and reiterated his commitment to protect Jewish communities. Mamdani's campaign was contentious amid heated national debates over antisemitism and the Israel-Hamas war. Reform Rabbi Angela Buchdahl criticized Mamdani for comments she said mainstreamed antisemitism, citing his 2023 NYPD/IDF remark, alleged false claims of genocide, reluctance to label Hamas a terrorist organization, and opposition to Israel as a Jewish state.
