Josh Shapiro Accuses Zohran Mamdani of Condoning ‘Blatantly Antisemitic’ Supporters
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – Josh Shapiro urges Zohran Mamdani to address antisemitic language among supporters amid shifting Democratic views on Israel, with 60% sympathizing more with Palestinians, a recent poll shows.
- On July 24, 2025, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed concern that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, had not sufficiently condemned antisemitic remarks made by some of his supporters.
- Shapiro's critique arose amid pressure on Mamdani to denounce the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' which pro-Palestinian activists view as nonviolent but many Jews say calls for violence.
- Mamdani has since pledged to discourage use of the phrase, emphasizing his commitment to universal human rights while remaining a vocal critic of Israel and supporting Palestinian rights.
- Shapiro stated leaders must act with moral clarity and cannot allow antisemitic remarks to go unchallenged, while also supporting Israel as a Jewish state but opposing some Netanyahu policies.
- Mamdani won a large majority of New York City Democrats and faces a general election where divisions over Israel persist amid waning Democratic support for Israel, highlighted by Shapiro's concerns.
