Support from Jewish New Yorkers for Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary was significant, as they sought leadership focusing on community and Palestinian human rights. The grassroots effort involved over 80,000 door knocks and several hundred thousand calls to garner support. Many Jews oppose US funding to Israel amidst concerns over genocide and apartheid. Mamdani's responses during debates showed his commitment to engaging with the Jewish community locally, emphasizing his understanding of their diverse opinions and needs.
While Andrew Cuomo used Islamophobic fearmongering, the Jewish community's opinion about Israel is diverse; a poll indicated 61% support halting US weapons to Israel.
Hundreds of thousands of Jews in the US believe the Israeli government is committing genocide and apartheid, and the government must stop funding it.
Jewish New Yorkers supported Zohran Mamdani to live and thrive in an affordable city, wanting a mayor who believes in Palestinian human rights.
Zohran’s campaign showed a commitment to understanding Jewish New Yorkers’ concerns directly, indicating he didn't need to travel abroad to connect with the community.
