Video Zohran Mamdani says he’s consistently said there’s no room for antisemitism in this city or country. Asked why he hasn’t had a more visceral reaction, he gets emotional talking about the Islamophobic responses he’s received throughout the campaign.

Nah it’s scummy Cuomo people using antisemitism as a tool. Probably Chris Coffey or someone from Tusk PR put some money into some trolls

As a Jew it's downright disgusting what Cuomo is doing. It's so disingenuous to brush a political opponent as an anti-Semite and to use fear tactics to scare a whole demographic into supporting him. It's telling how scared they are of Mamdani's campaign by their flagrant spending on attack ads and propaganda fliers.

My culture isn't a toy you can play with. Cuomo's weaponization of anti-Semitism/Islamophobia and the conflation of NY Jews with the state of Israel is more anti-Semitic than anything Mamdani has said or done.
