This is the rally that @DarializaforNY led a day after the October 7th attack, which openly celebrated the massacre of young Jewish boys and girls at the rave. They cheered the killing of Jewish kids.

@bradlander endorsed her and recorded a video ad with her yesterday.

[Daniel Rosenthal @DanRosenthalNYC]

When previously criticized on past issues, Darializa says she was young and has evolved.

She was 29 when she went to a rally on October 8th while Hamas was still in Southern Israel, killing and kidnapping men, women, and children.

[Mark Treyger 🍎 @MarkTreyger718]

As the grandson of Holocaust survivors, it was beyond painful to watch individuals who claim to care about human rights celebrate the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust…the genocide perpetrated by the Third Reich.

Do not lecture anyone about human rights if you celebrate the slaughter of grandmothers and treat it as a prize to be showcased on social media; the rape, murder, and abduction of young people at a music festival dedicated to peace; or the starvation and abuse of hostages held in underground tunnels.

It is infuriating. It is morally indefensible. And it is disqualifying.

[Josh Kramer @JoshuaLKramer]

@JCColtin @CityAndStateNY Disqualifying for any office.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

This says everything you need to know about @bradlander. You cannot believe anything he says.

If he will edit out the most important part to mislead voters, what else is he lying about?

[Howard Pollack @HowardPollack]

Ya want to see shameful read the post below- try not to laugh at the BS that they are spouting. These are the Facts 50k marchers, tens of thousands of spectators, Jews and non-Jewish allies all to show LOVE for the people of Israel - AM Yisrael Chai - despite your efforts

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

FACT: Not a single Dem official marched with Smotrich who was in back.

FACT: Thousands marched in this parade and Smotrich CRASHED at the last minute.

FACT: Zohran decided to boycott the Israel parade over a year ago.

Please stop making stuff up to fit your BS narrative. Thx!

[Fabien Levy @Fabien_Levy]

We literally have parades & festivals for many cultures & religions.

[Daniel Rosenthal @DanRosenthalNYC]

Politics is a horseshoe.

Zohran Mamdani and Bezalel Smotrich both believe in a one-state solution.

[David G. Greenfield @NYCGreenfield]

Radicals like @hasanthehun want to wipe Israel off of the map. Even when liberal Democrats support 2 states, one Israel and one Palestine, that’s not enough

EVERY major candidate in NY-12 supports 2 states. If @hasanthehun knows otherwise, please let us know so we can fight them

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

For this entire campaign, @bradlander has refused to face me. He rejected debates, withdrew from forums, and even insisted that we appear back-to-back at a forum instead of next to each other.

Tomorrow, we will finally get the opportunity to share a stage.

Tune in to @NY1 on Monday at 7pm for our very first debate.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

The same Mayor Mamdani who says he won't join the Israel Parade because of the government, marched with a smile on his face at the Pakistan Independence Day parade.

Pakistan 🇵🇰
- Is a global transit point for human trafficking
- Sees 1000+ honor killings of women a year
- Has one of the highest rates of heroin addiction in the world
- Its army raped ~200,000-400,00 women and killed between 300,000 and 3 million people during a war with Bangladesh in 1971, in what is widely recognized as a genocide
- Multiple terror groups operate in the country and killed 100s in attacks in just the last year

None of those are reasons for individual Pakistanis to stop marching for their country; random citizens are not responsible for an entire country's failures.

But they are reasons why the Mayor's stance betrays a double standard.

Mayors are responsible for ALL of their city's residents, no matter what country they are from.

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

People on the left hitting Bores over this are only helping his campaign.

You don’t have to like it, but you can’t win a Dem primary in NY-12 — which is broadly anti-Netanyahu but pro-Israel existing as a Jewish state — in the year 2026 by running anywhere to the left of this.

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

This is a moment when we need fighters representing us in congress. I want to tell you about someone who has the soul of a fighter.

I have known @EspaillatNY for my entire career in politics. We began as adversaries, running against each other for State Senate in 2010 (he won). So I can say with some authority that he is one of the fiercest competitors I have ever encountered.

Adriano doesn't just fight hard in campaigns. It’s how he’s led in congress. When there was growing evidence of Trump’s corruption in his first term, Adriano was one of just six brave congressmembers who stood up to sponsor articles of impeachment in Nov., 2017. As the abuses of ICE were mounting in 2018, Adriano was one of just 9 members who sponsored a bill to abolish the agency, years before that became a politically safe position for a Democrat to hold. (this is not surprising considering he is the first formerly undocumented immigrant elected to congress). He was one of the first to sponsor Medicare for All legislation. I could go on and on.

You might think that a member of congress who is so active in DC is less active in their district. But the opposite is true for Adriano. I am constantly amazed at the pace of in-person events he keeps up in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx, even far outside of election season. And he uses his influence in Washington to deliver for the district on a scale that few lawmakers can match—including helping to secure $ billions for extension of the 2nd Ave subway up to East Harlem, $200 M+ to revitalize the Kingsbridge Armory, etc etc.

Adriano and I eventually became allies and friends after our intense 2010 State Senate campaign. He has wholeheartedly welcomed me into his familia dominicana. If I am ever facing a challenge, political or personal, he is often the first to call to express genuine concern. When he has supported me in my own campaigns he has consistently gone far beyond the “paper endorsements” that are so common in our business. He is someone who values relationships and doesn't treat them as a one-way street.

Adriano does nothing halfway—whether advocating for his district, rooting for his beloved Yankees and Tigres de Licey (if you know you know) or campaigning to win the support of his constituents in a tough race. I am proud to be supporting him in this election, so that this fighter can continue representing my neighbors and me in congress.

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

At a time when more than half of NYC hate crimes target Jews, NYC Council @SpeakerMenin has shown strong, front-foot leadership in confronting antisemitism. @AJCCEO Ted Deutch was grateful to sit down for a candid conversation on the stark realities facing New York’s Jewish community and to express appreciation for her bold leadership.

From her Five-Point Plan to Combat Antisemitism to the passage of buffer zone legislation to help protect safe access to houses of worship, her actions are critical. We look forward to continuing to work together to ensure NYC’s Jewish community is safe and thriving.

[Congressman Max Miller @RepMaxMiller]

Every day as a Jewish Member of Congress is another day of receiving these types of threats. For those asking "why is no one holding town halls?"...these are the people waiting for a planned event.

[Ted Deutch, CEO of American Jewish Committee @AJCCEO]

I spent sixteen years in government.

In the Florida State Senate, we became the first state in America to stand up to Iran’s brutal regime by cutting off state investments in companies helping Iran develop nuclear weapons. How did we get everyone onboard?

Because Iranian-made IEDs were killing our brave soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Democrats and Republicans spoke with one voice when the legislation passed unanimously.

In Congress, it was the same. We passed sanctions - together - to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program. We overwhelmingly condemned the regime’s repression of women, its persecution of the Baha’i and other minorities, its repeated violation of the human rights of its citizens, and its support for terrorism around the world.

Again and again, Republicans and Democrats stood side by side calling out the regime, its terrorist IRGC, and the proxy terror groups it funded at the expense of its own people.

Together, we remembered the victims, from our Marine Barracks in Beirut to our personnel in Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia; from Buenos Aires to Burgas, and the hundreds of brave American soldiers killed by Iran-backed militias and weaponry. So many Americans killed. So many innocent civilians murdered. All by this radically dangerous regime.

We held hearings about these threats over and over again. But it was never just about the extent of the horrors spread by Iran.

It was also personal.

I represented Bob Levinson, the longest-held American hostage in history. I came to know his family as they fought tirelessly to bring Bob home from Iran, inspiring everyone who met them.

Administrations of both parties tried. None succeeded.

Over 4,700 days.

As their Member of Congress, I desperately wanted to welcome Bob home. But he died in Iranian captivity.

Throughout my sixteen years in office, there were always colleagues on my right and my left who stood together to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons because we understood what this regime was capable of. Kidnapping. Murder. Terror.

Today we live in a time of intense partisanship. That’s the environment in which this war is happening.

But any time an American President makes the sobering decision to use force, it is appropriate and necessary for Congress to exercise its oversight. I certainly did so during Republican and Democratic administrations.

Even as this debate plays out, we all need to acknowledge the history of this dangerous Iranian regime and its threat to the world. The Supreme Leader and his forces have brought suffering to their own people, chaos to the region, and violence to the world. The blood of American soldiers and innocent civilians from across the globe is on their hands. The blood of the tens of thousands protesters they recently slaughtered is not even dry.

So let’s pause for a moment to stand together -

To acknowledge that the world is safer without the Ayatollah’s terror.

To stand with the Iranian people in their pursuit of freedom.

To support the brave Americans serving in harm’s way.

For all of our political disagreements, we all share a stake in the success of this moment and this war.

That’s what I’m hoping and praying for.

God bless America.

[Poland in the UN @PLinUN]

Amb.@KSzczerski met today with representatives of @AJCGlobal to discuss the current state of international relations and the future of multilateralism.

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

For the second day in a row, Gravesend Park and a playground in Brooklyn, where many Jewish children and families gather, have been defaced with dozens of swastikas.

This hateful vandalism is meant to intimidate and harm. We thank @NYPDHateCrimes for their investigation and urge that those responsible be swiftly identified and held accountable. Antisemitism has no place in our communities.

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

As AJC's Senior Vice President of Policy and Political Affairs @FishmanJulie noted in @JTANews, protecting communities requires looking honestly at what laws exist—and where they fall short.

We’re grateful to @GovKathyHochul for taking this seriously and committing real resources to strengthen hate and bias crime response, protect at-risk institutions—like synagogues—and confront antisemitism on campuses across New York in the 2026 State of the State address.
