Brad Lander says he's 'so Jewish he almost became a rabbi' - and rips Andrew Cuomo using antisemitism as a 'political game'

from New York Post 1 day ago

Mayoral candidate Brad Lander highlighted his deep Jewish roots and commitment to combating antisemitism during a speech at the West Side Institutional Synagogue. He criticized Andrew Cuomo, claiming the former governor has misused antisemitism for personal gain. Lander, a self-described "liberal Zionist," has a history of involvement in Jewish activism, including organizing a rally for Soviet Jews in 1987. He voiced a commitment to fighting oppression in line with Jewish values, aiming for inclusivity and equality in society.

Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo are welcome to disagree with my positions. But they don't get to decide who's a good Jew.

I was taught to stand up both for Jews and for all people who are facing oppression - to work to build a more equal and inclusive society grounded in the Jewish value of b'tzelem elohim.
