More than 1,000 rabbis, cantors, and American yeshiva students signed a petition against “the rise of anti-Zionism and political normalization” in the upcoming Mayoral election campaign, with the name of the Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani being the only one mentioned in it — as reported Saturday night in the Washington Post.
In the petition, it was noted that Mamdani refuses to condemn “violent slogans, deny the legitimacy of Israel, and accuse the Jewish state of genocide,” as written by Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, president of the New York Board of Rabbis.
“They delegitimize the Jewish community and encourage and intensify hostility toward Judaism and Jews,” he further stated.
