Middle East tensions spill into NYC mayoral race over Mamdani comments

Tensions in the Middle East leaked to the course of the New York City campaign this week, as president Donald Trump is the amazing Iran.

When the Bulwark host, Tim Miller, was asked if the phrases of “the uprising globalization” and “from the river to the sea” made it uncomfortable, the candidate mayor Zahran Mamdani explained that he does not support the banning of language, and compare the driving style of Trump.

“The same word was used by the Holocaust Museum when the Warsaw Intifada is translated into Arabic, a word that means” conflict. “

Since then, the clip has become viral, as the groups of Jewish call and influential Mamdani have criticized what they say is to refuse to condemn the phrase “globalization of the uprising”, a massive cry used by the protesters supporting the Palestinians who resist the war in Gaza.

According to the American Jewish Committee, the phrase “invites people from all over the world to participate in the rise against Israel.”

Former state governor Andrew Como, who is widely considered candidates in the New York City mayor’s race, has called on all candidates to “tighten” Mamdani’s comments on the claim that the language is “subject to interpretation.”

“This is not only a mistake, but it is dangerous. While we see anti -Semitism and in fact we witness a violence against the Jews, which led to their death in Washington, DC or burning them in Denver, we know very well that the words are very important. They feed the killing. Como said.

Two young Jews couple were killed at the Israeli embassy while leaving the Jewish capital museum in Washington last month. The suspect shouted, “Palestine is free!” During the police detention. Colorado police also responded to a terrorist attack in a supportive event of Israel, which made many people who were injured in Denver last month.

Mamdani, who is competing to be the first Muslim mayor in New York City, was criticized by his competitors, including Komo, for his views on the Middle East policy, which reached a boiling point this week amid continuous strikes between Israel and Iran.

During the municipal debate, Mamdani said: “Israel has the right to exist,” but he refused to agree that Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state “and even” as a country with equal rights. “

New York Democrat Tom Suzuzi, who supported Komo, criticized Mamadani’s comments, “in Israel, the first and second assumptions, were terrorist attacks to kill Jews over a sustainable period.

Saying: “Even if we state – although it does not represent that” the globalization of the uprising “is not an invitation to violence (although it is not the intention of the speaker on the intention of the speaker, but rather the phrase that many in Jewish society has received.”

“I get comments that the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim. I feel threats to my life and the people I love,” Mamadi said.

But Elisha Wesel, the son of Eli and Marion Wezel, authors and survivors of the Holocaust, told Fox News Digter that “the globalization of the uprising is to switch the code to kill the Jews” and joined Komo’s invitation to all the candidates for the controversial ferry.

“I cannot see in the spirit of Zahran Mamdani, so when he says that the globalization of the uprising is good, I can’t really know if it is completely naive or evil. None of these is a good characteristic of a person responsible for our city.

Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to the Fox News Digital request for more comments.
