NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani again refuses to acknowledge Israel's existence as a Jewish state

""New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.

Mamdani is polling in second place ahead of this month’s Democratic party primary that will likely decide the winner of the November election in the mostly Democratic US city.

Mamdani, a state assembly member from Queens, is a longtime pro-Palestinian activist and is harshly critical of Israel. His views on Israel’s right to exist have come under scrutiny in recent weeks. He has previously identified as an anti-Zionist."
