Sagit Alkobi Fishman writes that the real danger from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is not his threat to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but his approach of turning political disagreement into heresy, with New York's Jewish community bearing the consequences.
In a Times of Israel opinion piece published Monday, Sagit Alkobi Fishman argues that the real threat posed by New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is not his threat to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but rather his approach of treating political disagreement as heresy, which she says has consequences for New York's Jewish community. The Zioneer has previously reported on Mamdani's statements and the reactions from Israeli officials and Jewish leaders, consistently referring to him as a candidate for mayor. The opinion adds to the ongoing public debate surrounding Mamdani's candidacy and his stance on Israel.
