Part 8/9:
Upcoming Elections and the Threat of Anti-Semitism
Turning to the imminent New York City mayoral race, Dershowitz expressed concern over candidates like Mamdani, whom he describes as a "terrible human being" with destructive policies that could harm Jewish communities and weaken the Democratic Party. He specifically criticized Andrew Cuomo, suggesting that poll fluctuations, possibly influenced by last-minute political maneuvers, could shift the election outcome.
Dershowitz urged voters to prioritize candidates who uphold decency, fairness, and respect for Jewish constituents. His candid assessment was clear: anti-Semitic candidates and rhetoric must be rejected to safeguard the city’s diversity and democratic resilience.
