Zohran Mamdani is not antisemitic Says a Satmar Shvantz ..Meanwhile Hamas Congratulates him!

 

This article from The Jerusalem Post appeared before the election!

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is "not an antisemite," leaders of the antizionist haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Satmar community wrote in the upcoming edition of weekly community newspaper Der Blatt.

Screenshots of the article in the newspaper, dated for Friday, were shared by Jewish NYC journalists on Wednesday.

"From the first minute he was very open with the rabbis [of the Satmar community] about the war in Israel, he’s a very liberal Muslim," the letter continued.

The Satmar community in New York is split based on which son of the previous grand rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum is recognized as the legitimate heir.(He chose the younger one R Zalman Leib)

'Vicious campaign portraying Mamdani as antisemitic is false and dangerous'

Der Blatt is the outlet of the followers of Aaron Teitelbaum, However, the other Satmar community, which follows Zalman Leib Teitelbaum, also issued a similar statement, condemning the "vicious campaign" portraying Mamdani as an antisemite as "false and dangerous."

Mamdani visited Satmar community leaders during the Sukkot festival on October 10.

Hamas is literally congratulating Zohran Mamdani.
