NYC Jewish leader warns of safety concerns if Mamdani becomes mayor

A Jewish leader in New York City talks about the possibility of the term Zahran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City, and Fox News Digital tells that he is concerned about the safety of the Jewish population, as well as all New York residents.

Scott Baldamman, Executive Vice president of the Israel Fund, told Fox News Digitter that the Jewish community in the largest city in the country “is not against” a Muslim or any person who runs a position, but what they oppose is the candidates who “correspond to witnessed representatives” such as Hamas or Hezbollah.

“It was just recorded in a local mosque, as the imam of this mosque was mainly called for the death of the Israeli Defense Army soldiers and praised the efforts of Hamas,” said Litman. “This is what we oppose, and it is a very serious concern.”

Litman pointed out the rise of anti -Semitic attacks in recent years, especially in New York City, which he says “has created some fear in the Jewish community and that this special candidate who is now making such divisions” is “a real source of concern.”

Two employees of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, were killed earlier this year by a man screaming “free Palestine” at the same time as an Egyptian man targeted a demonstration in support of Israel, killing one person and wounding many others, in Bulder, Colorado.

“I know that every day I am afraid that my employees know that our organization has been summoned by this candidate, and we have no idea, as you know, who is following him and what their interests are and what their actions may be. So it is a real concern.”

Mamdani, along with actress Cenatia Nixon, summoned the one Israel Fund earlier this month in a publication he answered with An article in the American thinker.

“When you go out and comply with yourselves with terms such as scientists, the uprising, which is basically a funny expression of the killing of Jews all over the world, this is what it is, the uprising was basically a movement in Israel 25 years ago to destroy the state of Israel and did not distinguish against the city or military military personnel,”

“And when you want to wander in globalization, the correspondence is very clear to the people who listen and follow this, and many people have put in the Jewish society, if not all, on a notice, and he created a feeling of real anxiety. I am concerned about New York City in general. It is not only the Jewish society. Although he continues to double the speech, the police spoil everyone here in danger. “

Mamdani was widely criticized for his initial failure to condemn the phrase “globalization of the uprising”, which many Jews are seen as an invitation to violence. Ultimately, Mamdani retracted his initial hesitation by saying that he discourages people from using the phrase and told business leaders that he would not use it.

Litman referred to Mamdani as “my beloved social media”, and he praised the way he was able to fill it with the voters, but he said, in the end, while discussing his ascension, that the education system had “made a tremendous injustice for our children, especially at the university level where we see anti -toxic names.”
