The opposition — including AIPAC — has pushed false claims that Zohran is antisemitic for supporting Palestinian human rights and calling for peace and equality. These aren’t facts; they’re attacks meant to silence a movement for a fairer city. Here’s what trusted Jewish leaders say:
“Andrew Cuomo went into a synagogue in this race and called me and Zohran, and the Black speaker of the City Council, antisemitic. They are happy to use us as pawns for their own political purposes.”
“The cooperation between a Muslim and Jewish candidate, focused squarely on beating disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo … this partnership inspired many in a race marred by Islamophobia and false accusations of antisemitism.”
“What you are seeing now is an oligarchy with enormous economic and political power… they are afraid of Mr. Mamdani becoming an example of what can happen all over the country — they are scared to death.”
“I’ve spoken to him about his commitment to fighting antisemitism, and we’ll work with all New Yorkers to fight against all bigotry.”
“We are incensed by the Islamophobic rhetoric and the false accusations of antisemitism leveled against Mamdani by figures like Cuomo and Senator Gillibrand. Supporting Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander is, for us, an explicitly Jewish act. Our religious tradition calls us to pursue justice and bring it into the world, and Mamdani’s platform clearly reflects that call — most powerfully in his clear plan to address antisemitic violence.”
