(JNS) A Jewish advocacy organization has strongly criticized New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani — a Democratic Socialist and current New York state assemblyman — after he shared a video the group says disrespects Chanukah and Jewish traditions.
StopAntisemitism took to X to criticize Mamdani for sharing a video last year that featured Indian performers dressed as Jewish characters engaging in Chanukah rituals such as spinning dreidels and lighting a menorah. The group condemned the clip as “sick,” arguing that Jewish holidays and religious practices should not be used as material for humor.
