House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) plans to meet with Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee, this week to discuss issues of public safety, specifically as they relate to the Jewish community, The Hill reported on Monday.
The meeting comes as Jeffries has withheld his endorsement for Mamdani following the latter's upset victory in the Democratic primary.
The 33-year-old defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had been the long-time frontrunner. While Jeffries congratulated Mamdani on his primary win, he has not yet offered his endorsement.
In an interview with Punchbowl News, Jeffries stated that Mamdani’s failure to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada" will "be part of our discussion." The House Democratic leader emphasized the need for Mamdani "to reassure" the Jewish community and others that "he’s going to stand up for their safety and security."
Jeffries, who represents a district spanning parts of Brooklyn and Queens, has previously spoken about the rise in anti-Jewish hate crimes in New York. He has sought to assure voters that addressing the issue is a priority for him.
Mamdani’s anti-Israel bias has come under fire since he won the Democratic nomination for mayor.

Anyone who buys a belated attempt by him to "reassure" them is an idiot. But that racist stereotype of Jews being smart has to be debunked, so there's that.
Reassuring Jews of their survival, after years of calling out Israel’s survival, is a sure-fire plan to get Jews to vote.
We WILL tolerate you for now.
YAYYYYYY!
Hindustan Times in 2013 quoted Mamdani’s mother Mira, a
Hollywood filmmaker, as saying the Democrat Mayoral wannabe:
<><>doesn’t consider himself American
<><>He is a total desi (outsider). Completely.
<><>We are not firangs (outsiders) at all.
<><>He is very much “us.”
<><>He is not an (American) at all.
<><>He was born in Uganda, raised between India and America.
<><>He is at home in many places.
<><>He thinks of himself as a Ugandan and as an Indian.
<><>Mira praised his choice to study Arabic and politics,
<><>said her son speaks “only Hindustani” at home.

Approximately 1.8 million Jewish adults, just under one-third
of the total Jewish electorate, live in twenty-five congressional districts.
National Profile of the Jewish Electorate, May 2020
Of the top twenty-five districts by Jewish population, nearly half are in New York — NY10, NY-3, NY-12, NY-17, NY4, NY-9, NY-6, NY-8, and NY11.
The remaining districts with Jewish populations are found in seven states including Florida, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. FL-21 has the greatest number of Jewish adults at 152,000.
With the exception of NJ-4, these districts are represented by Democrats and all but two (NJ-4 and NJ-5) are Democratic-leaning districts.
US Jews contribute half of all donations to the Democratic Party

A new study argues that the large majority of American Jews have a deep-seated notion that being Jewish is inextricably bound to being liberal.
That idea took hold after the large waves of Jewish immigration to the US in the late 19th century, according to the study’s author, American history professor Gil Troy.
American Jewish liberalism and association with the Democratic party is showing no signs of abatement, despite many predictions to the contrary since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, according to Troy’s research, which is being published by the Ruderman Family Foundation’s Program for American Jewish Studies at the University of Haifa.
Points to ponder
Democrats panic; there’s no accurate polling of Jewish voters
nationwide because there are too few Jews in the country to poll

After tossing Jewish voters overboard to accommodate the Hamas supporters of Dearborn, Michigan, the Democrats are starting to get nervous about the choice they made.
Despite the rollout of the campaign, beginning with Senator Schumer’s floor speech blasting Israel, and various liberal Jewish surrogates, including Rep. Jerry Nadler, vocally opposing the campaign against Hamas, the Democrats did not manage to sell Jews on Biden’s betrayal.
Biden’s declaration that he would stop providing military support to Israel if it continued to pursue Hamas into Rafah touched off a major backlash from donors, like Haim Saban, from celebrities, like Michael Rappaport, who has said he could vote for Trump, and ordinary Jews.
While there’s no accurate polling of Jewish voters because there are too few Jews in much of the country to be captured by conventional polls and polls specifically surveying Jews are usually run by leftist groups, Democrats have suddenly begun to sweat the Jewish vote.

Doesn’t seem he needs to.
Didn’t they vote for him in big numbers?
Could the purpose be to raise money, from all sides, for democrats and ny media?
What some folks need to learn is that there’s a world of difference between liberalism and leftism

Not many liberals left. John Fetterman is one of them.
“Just practice taqqiya like I do. We’ll send ‘em to the ovens later.” ~ Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
Mamdani will reassure Jews of his support for the global intifada.
At least blacks are smart enough not to rally behind the KKK.
Indeed. It’s a mystery to me where all the honest liberals went. Clearly, they were shoved out of the Demo(now DemoNaziCommie) party —
Opposites
“Just practice taqqiya like I do. We’ll send ‘em to the ovens later.” ~ Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
Lol-——he has “Germany-How To” on speed dial.
Gift from his uncle, Prof. Leonard Jeffries.
So, Hakeem wants Zohran to lie.
(Or as they call it in their religion: Taqiyya.)
