Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) CEO Sacha Roytman issued the following statement on the victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary election on Tuesday:
“Along with all New Yorkers, the Jews of New York City are right to be concerned today. New Yorkers deserve a mayor who fights antisemitism, not incites it. Momdani’s disturbing record of supporting BDS and legitimizing ‘globalize the intifada’ rhetoric should be disqualifying for public office in a city home to the largest Jewish community outside of Israel. We can only hope New York City voters rise to the moment and reject this hate in the general election in November.”
In a podcast interview last week, the 33-year-old Mamdani — a third-term New York state assemblyman from Queens and Democratic Socialists of America member — said the “globalize the intifada” slogan represented a “desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.”
