1. Acusaciones y Defensas de Antisemitismo.
El candidato a la alcaldía de Nueva York, Zohran Mamdani, se ha enfrentado a numerosas acusaciones de antisemitismo, generando un intenso debate sobre la validez de estas afirmaciones y sus motivaciones políticas.
- "half of nyc jewish voters in a recent poll see mamdani antisemitic, b/c he: - opposes israel as a jewish state - wants to bankrupt israel using bds - attacked israeli charities - won’t reject global violence against jews. Anti-zionism is antisemitism.".
- "mamdani has addressed antisemitism and his plan to combat it more than any mayoral candidate of my lifetime. There is no satiating these people because mamdani is muslim, so he must hate jewish people. It’s just racism".
- "i'm jewish. I like mamdani. I'm tired of the dems thinking they can use us as political props. That's true antisemitism, not anything mamdani has said or done.".
2. El Debate sobre Antisionismo y Antisemitismo.
Un punto central del debate es la relación entre el antisionismo y el antisemitismo, con algunos argumentando que la crítica a Israel es inherentemente antisemita, mientras que otros defienden que son posturas distintas.
- ". Zohran mamdani’s victory in most jewish city in u.s. — despite relentless smear campaign by militant zionists — is a clear referendum on the lie that criticizing israel equals antisemitism. New yorkers rejected the antisemitic notion.".
- "mamdani doesn’t recognize the right of israel to exist as a state. He supports bds, a pro-islamist campaign to crush israel. He uses the genocidal words of hamas to insult holocaust victims. This is classic antisemitism. Nyc must reject him.".
- "i'm not voting for a representative of israel or gaza, and i'm jewish so please shut up explaining who/what is antisemitism to jews. Mamdani is an antisemitic dsa member who helped enable trump's win with his support of "uncommitted," and "leave it blank, ny." no business running as a dem.".
3. Apoyo y Rechazo dentro de la Comunidad Judía.
La comunidad judía de Nueva York está dividida en su opinión sobre Mamdani, con algunos líderes y votantes expresando su apoyo y otros manifestando su preocupación por sus posturas.
- "i don't get where the antisemitism attacks come from, since most sources i've seen (that are not the ny post or israel) are showing jewish leaders supporting mamdani. His previous opponent brad lander even supports him.".
- "i know many of my fellow jews, including some in my own family, opted not even to consider voting for mamdani because of his supposed antisemitism. I don't, myself, feel that way (though i'm not an nyc voter anyway, so it's moot), nor do i think he actually is an antisemite, but i do".
- "nyc jews pick mamdani over cuomo, adams. Guess they're really worried about his antisemitism.".
4. La Utilización Política del Antisemitismo.
Se ha argumentado que las acusaciones de antisemitismo se están utilizando como una herramienta política para atacar a Mamdani y socavar su candidatura, en lugar de abordar genuinamente el problema del antisemitismo.
- "the weaponization of antisemitism in this election, by cuomo and others, is nauseating. Here’s the truth on zohran mamdani’s stance:".
- "worse, it's clear that charges of antisemitism exist to whitewash and hide the *material* interests of the mayor's race. Mamdani is a threat to corporate and monied interests in nyc. But "rich people are scared" is not a winning slogan, so antisemitism becomes the cover.".
- "“if the claims of antisemitism against zohran mamdani, a democratic mayoral candidate in … new york city primaries, are obviously mendacious, the fears of those pushing them are not. Here is what they fear.”".
5. Respuestas de Mamdani y Planes para Combatir el Odio.
Mamdani ha respondido a las acusaciones condenando el antisemitismo y presentando planes para combatir el odio y proteger a la comunidad judía en Nueva York.
- "nyc mayoral candidate zohran mamdani forcefully rejects being labeled antisemetic: “a very real crisis of antisemitism is occurring within our city, and we do it a disservice by allowing politicians like andrew cuomo to weaponize it for their own ends.”".
- "come on. Look at the transcript. What mamdani "has said about the jewish people" is that "antisemitism is a real issue in our city" & he wants to increase "funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800%" & "what we need to do is focus on keeping jewish new yorkers safe."".
- "zohran mamdani has decried antisemitism and said he’ll work to make sure nyc is safe for everyone—including jewish new yorkers—many times. First mamdani was attacked for things he didn’t say and now he’s being accused of not saying things he’s explicitly said. This is ridiculous.".
