from Jewish Currents newsletter July 24, 2026

In today’s newsletter, we have a report on Jewish leaders’ efforts to use a frightening stabbing attack on Manhattan’s Upper West Side as a political weapon against New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani and the pro-Palestine politics he represents.

Local Jewish leaders lost the battle to keep Mamdani from City Hall last fall and since then have faced one humiliation after another, including a disastrous pro-Israel parade in late May that ended with their political allies needing to apologize for marching with a fascist, and stunning defeats in last month’s Democratic primaries.

Now, they’re trying to use a scary midday attack to hit back at the mayor.

Murderous Zionists. There are Jews in Israel who defend Palestinians to the best of their ability.
