One of the most prominent national advocacy groups weighing in the democratic preliminary elections in New York City for the mayor on Tuesday night-praised the effectiveness of Andrew Como and Zeza Brad Lander and Zahran Mamdani as “members and supporters of the anti-reputation socialist, anti-Israel Democrats in America.”
The American Jewish Conference, which was established in 1918, indicated that it is a non -party -exempt group that does not support the candidates but is working to keep “Jewish voters with knowledge and participation” and stressed that the great Apple mayor's race “is very important for his great Jewish community.”
In an electronic “dear friend” for members and supporters, AJC then proceeds to male Komo, the former ruler, five times, including in the title “The Ruler's Race Advertisement Como”.
Last week, Governor Andrew Como announced his candidacy, as he highlighted his long commitment to combating anti -Semitism. A. G. said.
“We in particular appreciate his clear message that nothing justifies racism and anti -Semitism” and that “the law must be implemented strongly” to protect the Jewish population of the Jews. “
Ajc praised, in one male, Mayor Eric Adams, for being a “voice defender against anti -Semitism”.
“In contrast, many democratic opponents have reduced the need to address hatred, anti -Jews and unfairly criticizing Israel.”
“In anxiously, some, including financial observer Brad Lander and the representative of the state [Assemblyman] Zahran Mamdani, members and supporters of the anti -Semitic socialist socialist, anti -Israel. “
Lander, a Jew, nominates the mayor's position in a crowded field including Mamdani-who gets DSA support, Komo, council president Adrian Adams, former city observer Scott Stringer and mayor Adams, who is seeking to re-election.
Then the group returns to promoting Komo.
“We are confident of the Camtu, Komo campaign, will enhance a strong and meaningful discussion with other candidates on the most effective way for New York to confront this increasing threat. It is clear that his strong support for Jewish society and Israel distinguishes the ruler Como from some other Democratic opponents.”
AJC did not refer to the luggage or Cuomo scandals, such as resignation as a ruler at the threat of accountability in 2021 after a large number of accusations of sexual misconduct that he denies.
One of the Jewish activists in the city – was astonished by AJC and not a cuomo lover – what he considered a “party” statement.
It is the opposite of non -party. “It raises questions about the non -partisan nature of the American Jewish conference,” said the source, who asked not to be identified.
It is a coup for Komo. There is no doubt about that.
Strenger, a Jew, was also not mentioned in AJC statement.
AJC was founded by Jewish Americans and Jewish leaders, including Albert Einstein, former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Mir, Rabbi Stephen Wise, US Supreme Court judges Luis Brandes and Felix Frankfurter.
AJC members were explicit supporters to establish the State of Israel, warned of the danger of Nazism in the 1930s and helped save German Jews during World War II.
During the 1960s, AJC joined the civil rights movement.
The current leadership of the group includes President David Rosen, a resident of Manhattan, CEO of Rosen Partners, an international real estate development company, Chairman Jack Rosen, a businessman describing himself as “a long friend of President Biden, President Clinton and President Bush.”
The publication arrived in Lander and Mamdani for comment.
Lander's campaign refused to criticize AJC and Cuomo.
“It is not surprising that Andrew Como is used by Donald Trump to attack the highest ranking of a Jewish elected official in the New York city government,” said Alison Hersh, director of the Jewish campaign in Lander.
Mamdani's campaign did not respond immediately.
