But the New York mayoral candidate said: “That’s not the language that I use.”

“New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Sunday again declined to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” but emphasized he would be a mayor “that protects Jewish New Yorkers” if elected in November.”

““I’ve heard from many Jewish New Yorkers who have shared their concerns with me, especially in light of the horrific attacks that we saw in Washington, D.C. and in Boulder, Colorado, about this moment of antisemitism in our country and in our city,” Mamdani told Welker. “And I’ve heard those fears, and I’ve had those conversations.””

    Zohran, it says here you oppose the unprovoked slaughter of hundreds of refugees seeking aid and food. What is it specifically that motivates you to hold such antisemitic opinions?
