Jewish Democrats in Congress sound the alarm on Mamdani

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Jewish Democrats warn Mamdani's support for BDS and refusal to condemn violent slogans may worsen antisemitism during a surge of hate incidents, with half of New York voters expressing concern.

  • Zohran Mamdani secured the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City in June 2025, winning a ranked-choice runoff with 56% of the vote against former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
  • Mamdani’s campaign has raised alarm among Jewish Democrats due to his endorsement of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions initiative and his refusal to denounce the phrase “globalize the intifada,” at a time when antisemitic violence is escalating across the country.
  • Jewish congressional Democrats, including Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Greg Landsman, sharply criticized Mamdani's positions as a huge problem and unsafe for the city's Jewish community.
  • A recent poll found that half of New York voters felt less inclined to support Mamdani due to his views on Israel, whereas about one-third indicated those views increased their likelihood of voting for him.
  • Mamdani's victory has sparked debate within the Democratic Party about balancing progressive activism with Jewish constituency concerns, indicating a shift in acceptable discourse in areas with large Jewish populations.
