Rev. Al Sharpton suggested that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani should engage with Jewish leaders to clarify his stance on the slogan "globalize the intifada," which he has not condemned. Despite believing that Mamdani does not harbor ill will towards the Jewish community, Sharpton insisted that the candidate needs to make his position explicitly clear, especially following his recent controversial appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." Mamdani did not use the phrase, emphasizing a message grounded in universal human rights.
"He's running for mayor of New York. You need to take off the table, 'Do you support international intifada?' Period. Not go around it."
"That's not language that I use. The language that I use... is grounded in the belief in universal human rights."
