Democratic Socialist anti zionist wins NYC mayor Dem primary

But aren't anti-Zionist Jews predominantly young? Ditto for Jews who aren't anti-Zionist but highly critical of Israel?

It should be noted that those Jews who are most concerned about affordability are also likely to be predominantly young. Older Jews are much more likely to be middle-class homeowners. Correct?

So my guess is that support for Cuomo would likely be at least 90% among middle-aged and older Jews, but much less among younger Jews.


Probably to a majority of Jews, but a much smaller majority among younger Jews than among older Jews. Correct?


Even 11 percent is still pretty large, compared to most of the many different ethnic groups in NYC.


Yep, there are.

Early Wednesday morning Israel time Wednesday, hours after US media projected Zohran Mamdani the winner of New York City’s mayoral race, Rabbi Marc Schneier said he plans to build what he called “the first Jewish day school in the Hamptons,” anticipating “thousands of Jewish families” moving from the city to Suffolk County. The Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt said his organization would approach the next four years “with resolve,” pledging to hold the mayor-elect to basic standards on combating antisemitism.

In a post on X, Schneier wrote: “With the news of @ZohranKMamdani mayoral victory, I am announcing plans for the building of the first Jewish day school in the Hamptons. This is in anticipation of the thousands of Jewish families that will flock to the Hamptons and greater Suffolk County to escape the antisemitic climate of Mamdani’s New York City.” Schneier is the founding rabbi of The Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach.

If there is a significant number of people that do move, the place you are leaving will drop in value and prices will rise in the area you want to buy.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) on Wednesday rebuked an attack on a Jewish Day School in Brooklyn where a swastika was painted on the window.

“This is a disgusting and heartbreaking act of antisemitism, and it has no place in our beautiful city,” Mamdani wrote in a statement on the social platform X.

“As Mayor, I will always stand steadfast with our Jewish neighbors to root the scourge of antisemitism out of our city,” he added.

The discussion of antisemitism has grown recently. Earlier this year, there was a swastika plastered on a GOP headquarters site in Albany, N.Y., and, in October, a Young Republican group chat was revealed to feature messages lauding Nazi Germany and Hitler.

During his victory speech, Mamdani pledged to protect New Yorkers of all faiths while railing against antisemitism.

“We will build a city hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight against the scourge of antisemitism, where the more than 1 million Muslims know that they belong, not just in the five boroughs of this city, but in the halls of power,” he said.

“No more will New York be a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election.”

“This new age will be defined by a competence and the compassion that have too long been placed at odds with one another,” he added.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced an all-female transition team on Wednesday, hours after winning a race in which he campaigned as a fresh face.

The group he introduced, however, includes some familiar names — veterans of New York’s current and previous Democratic mayoral administrations, as well as that of former President Joe Biden.
