New York Gov. Kathy Hochul thinks backing an antisemitic mayoral candidate will help get her re-elected. Others in the party are wondering and wavering.
Was it a sign of growing confidence that his victory in November was inevitable, or merely just another indication of the strength of his hatred for the State of Israel and the Jews? Perhaps it’s a bit of both. Either way, it’s clear that Zohran Mamdani feels no need to feint to the center or water down his fervent anti-Zionism.
When the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City promised to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested the first time he visits Gotham, it was more than a deliberate provocation aimed at offending pro-Israel voters and most Jews. It was also an indication that he truly believes that doubling down on blood libels about “genocide” is good politics in deep-blue New York.
The question is: Do other Democrats, especially those whose constituencies extend beyond the five boroughs, agree with him?
Kathy’s choice
One person who seems to feel that way is New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who endorsed Mamdani in a glowing New York Times op-ed published only two days after his empty boast about jailing the Israeli leader, which would be prevented by federal law and possible Republican legislation.

Sounds about right. They’ve got a self destruct implanted in them, seems like.
They are suicidal!
The Democratic Party are adjusting themselves to being more in line with the European ruling class globalists.
My best friend is a Socialist (we met in 3rd grade before I knew he was a fool lol) so of course he loves Mamdani because he’s the first viable socialist to win NYC. It’s a lefty thing not some anti-Jew thing. My best friend’s recently deceased wife (killed by the covid jab) was Jewish. Sure he hates Netanyahu and the Israeli right but I’ve never heard him ever say anything negative about Jews in general. 2/3’s of young Jewish NYer’s are also supporting Mamdani. It’s because they are socialists and that tops everything with these people. This stupid article acts like Mamdani’s support is due to antisemitism which is ridiculous.
When they say ‘From the river to the sea’ and ‘Globalize the Intifada’ they are saying Kill the Jews!
He’ll just be the mayor of NYC with no power over foreign policy. And he’ll be out in one term after he further ruins NYC with his idiotic policies.
But he can destroy NY which will have national repercussions as well as the propaganda victory of this a-hole getting elected mayor of the US’ largest city.
“Mandummy” the socialist will easily win the race for mayor of NYC.
After he’s elected the editors of the WSJ will have something to talk about besides Trump’s tariffs.
I don’t see why not. Antisemitism has always worked for the Democrats in the past.
Exactly. NYC Jews will support Mamdani no matter what! Disgusting but true.
