Thousands of anti-Israel demonstrators reportedly flooded midtown Manhattan afternoon, calling for a "global intifada," a slogan many view as an incitement to violence against Jewish communities.
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, recently sparked controversy after failing to publicly condemn the mantra.
After critics noted his silence on the issue, he said it is not "language" he uses.
Bipartisan legislation recently introduced by U.S. Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., would denounce the term as "a call to violence against Israeli and Jewish people across the world."
Comment.
Is this the new image for the Democratic Party? Just a thought.
