Liora Rez, the founder of StopAntisemitism, expressed that electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City would be disastrous not just for Jewish residents, but for everyone living in the city.
“Electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor would undoubtedly be disastrous for Jewish residents of New York City,” Rez stated to Fox News Digital. “Furthermore, all citizens of New York City would suffer considerably due to his problematic views on socialism.”
Mamdani has recently been criticized by various Democrats and media members for not condemning the anti-Israel phrase “globalize the intifada” — a slogan Rez characterized as an incitement to violence against Jewish people.
In mid-June, when asked on a podcast about phrases like “from the river to the sea” and “globalize the intifada,” Mamdani responded, “I know people for whom those things mean very different things, and to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.”

President Donald Trump blasted Mamdani on Tuesday and threatened to arrest the New York State assemblyman should he fail to comply with federal immigration officials.
“Well, then we’ll have to arrest him,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “Look, we don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over them very carefully on behalf of the nation. We send him money, we send him all the things that he needs to run a government.”
Mamdani did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
