Zohran Mamdani, a candidate for NYC mayor, did not denounce the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' resulting in a softer response from liberal Democrats after he promised to refrain from using it. In 2017, white supremacists protested the removal of Confederate statues, yelling anti-Jewish slurs, which amplified liberal condemnation of President Trump's statements. The ADL's report indicated that most reported antisemitic incidents were not linked to right-wing extremists, challenging the narrative of liberal groups that largely associated antisemitism with the far-right. A surge in antisemitism caused difficulties for maintaining this narrative.
Zohran Mamdani, a NYC mayoral candidate, has refrained from condemning the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' receiving leniency from liberal Democrats after promising to avoid it.
During the 2017 demonstration, white supremacists chanted, 'We will not be replaced, Jews will not replace us,' leading to a strong liberal condemnation of President Trump's remarks.
The ADL reported that in 2018, only 13 percent of antisemitic attacks were carried out by extremist groups, with most incidents involving flyers or robocalls.
The liberal narrative connecting anti-Jewish hatred primarily to the right-wing faced challenges amid rising antisemitism, complicating their unified response.
