TRUMP UNLEASHES: Jewish Voters SHAMED & ATTACKED!

As New York City prepares to elect a new mayor, a deeply divisive statement from former President Trump ignited controversy on Tuesday. He asserted that any Jewish voter supporting Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani was acting foolishly, a claim delivered with characteristic bluntness on his social media platform.

The former president’s post directly attacked Mamdani, labeling him a “proven and self professed JEW HATER” and questioning the judgment of any Jewish citizen who would cast a ballot in his favor. The language was stark and immediately drew criticism for its inflammatory nature and potential to exacerbate existing tensions.

Mamdani, a Muslim candidate, has publicly expressed his distress at being labeled antisemitic. He maintains a commitment to protecting all faith communities within New York City, including its Jewish population, and states this commitment is central to his mayoral vision.

However, scrutiny has focused on Mamdani’s reluctance to explicitly condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada.” While he doesn’t personally use the slogan, his refusal to denounce it has fueled concerns among some observers, who associate the term with violence and incitement.

A recent report from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) raised a significant “alarm bell” regarding Mamdani’s positions. The report alleges he downplayed the severity of the October 7th attacks by Hamas and characterized Israel’s subsequent response as “genocide.”

The ISGAP report further criticized Mamdani for sponsoring legislation aimed at penalizing New York charities that provide support to Israel, adding another layer to the complex debate surrounding his candidacy. These actions, according to the report, demonstrate a troubling pattern.

In a surprising move, Trump has endorsed former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race, despite Cuomo not being an active candidate. He dismissed Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, suggesting a vote for Sliwa would indirectly benefit Mamdani.

Trump’s endorsement of Cuomo, coupled with his harsh criticism of Mamdani, underscores the intensely polarized atmosphere surrounding the election. He expressed confidence in Cuomo’s ability to lead, contrasting it sharply with his assessment of Mamdani’s capabilities.

The election unfolds against a backdrop of heightened sensitivity regarding antisemitism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, making the candidates’ stances on these issues particularly crucial for voters. The outcome will undoubtedly reflect the city’s evolving political landscape and its diverse electorate.
