About this episode
Our guest is Brad Lander, the Jewish City Comptroller of New York, and mayoral candidate, who cross-endorsed Zohran Mamdani and helped propel him to victory. In my opinion, Lander’s behavior modeled what a decent Jewish politics in America might look like. Topics discussed include…
Andrew Cuomo
How Lander’s relationship with Zohran Mamdani evolved
Lander’s differences with Mamdani, on Israel and on local issues
Criticism from parts of the Jewish community
Criticism of Mamdani’s agenda for New York City
The lack of support for Mamdani from prominent Democrats
“Globalize the Intifada”
Anti-Zionism versus liberal Zionism, one-state versus two-states
