Brad Lander, the Jewish Democratic congressional nominee who has accused Israel of genocide, was attacked by pro-Palestinian activists Sunday afternoon, according to reports. The attack came hours after Lander faced antisemitic abuse at a protest in New York, where protesters shouted 'F—k you Zionist' as he attempted to join a demonstration against a Hindu nationalist leader, as The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday. Lander, who won the Democratic primary in June defeating pro-Israel incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman, has aligned himself with anti-Israel activists and described himself as a 'liberal Zionist.' The latest incident highlights the fraught dynamics facing Jewish candidates who criticize Israel but are targeted by anti-Israel activists.
