I want to hear the plans from all the candidates, not just Mamdani, but considering his past– He was a student organizer for a group called Students for Justice in Palestine. They’re the ones who led the systematic marginalization, targeting Jews on college campuses over the last year and a half. And so when Mr. Mamdani shows up and says– Again, I think this is a very important point, Katty. He doesn’t get to pick and choose which Jewish people he talks to. He needs to come to us. He needs to meet us where we are. If he could do that, he would allay a lot of concern.

He went to meet black people in Harlem on their own terms. I think what Jewish people would want to see is where the candidate goes to meet mainstream Jewish people in a mainstream synagogue or in a mainstream setting and simply says with the same clarity that he brought this weekend – where he met, again, black people where they are – and simply said to Jewish people, “I hear you and here is my plan to protect Jewish New Yorkers.” Not to fund, you know, more hate crimes enforcement for everyone. That should be a given. But, “Here’s why I understand what you are telling me, as a community, I need, and here is why I, as your mayor, will do certain things.”
