Andrew Cuomo's recent speech criticizing mayoral candidates for perceived antisemitism has sparked outrage, particularly from City Comptroller Brad Lander. Lander directly confronted Cuomo's claims of his disinvestment from Israel bonds, responding with a Yiddish phrase implying he should leave. Cuomo accused Lander and others of aligning with the Democratic Socialists of America and questioned their commitment to Israel, citing recent actions that he believes undermine solidarity with the Jewish state. This exchange highlights mounting tensions between traditional Democratic figures and progressive wings within the party.
Andrew, if you want to question my commitment to my people, say it to my face.
Incredibly many major New York City politicians are their disciples.
The DSA charter provides for the disinvestment in Israel.
Israel bonds was a sign of solidarity and after October 7 many pension funds in the United States bought more Israel funds.
