New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has reportedly doubled down on his description of AIPAC and its supporters as 'monsters' during a campaign rally, according to a linked article on The Zioneer. The remark was previously condemned by a prominent rabbi and the ADL as antisemitic incitement.
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has reportedly reaffirmed his characterization of AIPAC and its supporters as 'monsters' — doubling down on a remark that drew sharp condemnation from Jewish leaders. The New York Post previously reported that Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz accused Mamdani of fueling antisemitism and inciting violence against Jews. The Anti-Defamation League also condemned the remark and called for an apology. The linked article on The Zioneer, attributed to the Post's reporting, details Mamdani's latest comments defending the 'monsters' language at a campaign rally. No other sources have independently confirmed the exact wording of the doubling-down statement. The incident is part of a broader debate over rhetoric toward pro-Israel advocacy groups in the mayoral race.
