NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorses AOC's opposition to funding Israel's Iron Dome - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
"I support what the congresswoman said, adding that he had encouraged the endorsement and considered her an inspiration. Mamdani is a longtime and vociferous critic of Israel."
"The Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment."
"Neil Hurlock is accused of following the victim onto a train, punching him in the face several times and throwing him onto subway seats."
"He also allegedly called the man, who was wearing a kippah and reading a religious text, a 'f-ing Jew.' He was charged with assault, menacing, robbery and aggravated harassment as hate crimes."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorsed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's commitment to oppose military aid to Israel during a press conference. He praised her as an inspiration and encouraged her endorsement from the Democratic Socialists of America. Ocasio-Cortez reaffirmed her stance, stating that the Israeli government can fund its defense systems. This support coincides with heightened tensions in Israel amid celebrations of Passover. Separately, a man was indicted for an anti-Semitic assault on a Jewish individual on a Brooklyn subway, highlighting ongoing issues of hate crimes.
