Mayor Eric Adams recently warned Jewish leaders that a candidate for City Hall is allegedly making antisemitic statements. During a private meeting with the Jewish Community Relations Council, Adams expressed gratitude for ongoing support amid rising antisemitism but quickly shifted to revealing his concern. While he did not disclose the candidate's identity, participants assumed he was referencing Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist known for his anti-Israel stance and past protests. This incident highlights both rising antisemitism and political tensions within New York's mayoral race.
"In our great city, with a large population of Jewish residents, one of the candidates running for mayor is spewing antisemitism," an attendee recalled the mayor telling JCRC members.
Sources assumed Adams was referring to state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist running for mayor who is an Israel-basher.
