Antisemitism Exposed Newsletter: Rabbis Warn Against Mamdani, Trump Thinks About Hamas And More
Fox News’ ‘Antisemitism Exposed’ newsletter continues to focus on the growing issue of antisemitism in the U.S. and across the globe. In the latest edition, two prominent New York rabbis have issued a stern warning against Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist mayoral candidate, citing his controversial stances on Israel and his refusal to condemn the ‘globalize the intifada’ movement.
Mamdani, who is leading in polls, has defended his views as an expression of free speech. However, the rabbis argue that his refusal to condemn the ‘globalize the intifada’ slogan—which implies advocating for a global uprising against Israel—poses a threat to the Jewish community in New York. Critics argue that his rhetoric could embolden anti-Jewish sentiments and endanger the security of Jewish residents in the city.
In addition to the rabbis’ warning, the newsletter also discusses President Trump’s ongoing efforts to secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. Trump has reportedly warned Hamas that it would face ‘eradication’ if the ceasefire is violated, emphasizing the need for stability in the region. During his recent trip to Israel, Trump has also engaged in diplomatic talks with regional leaders, including Australia’s Prime Minister, to secure international support for the ceasefire.
The newsletter also highlights the backlash faced by prominent Hollywood activists who had previously called for a ceasefire in Gaza but now find themselves under scrutiny for their criticism of Trump’s recent peace deal. Figures like Matt Damon and Susan Sarandon were among those who expressed cautious optimism about the deal, while others mocked or dismissed it, leading to accusations of hypocrisy and ‘performative’ activism.
Another notable piece of the newsletter discusses the International Olympic Committee’s condemnation of Indonesia for denying visa requests to Israel’s gymnastics team for the FIG World Championships. The IOC called the action discriminatory and at odds with Olympic principles, urging Indonesia to uphold neutrality and allow all athletes to compete. Indonesia cited the ongoing conflict in Gaza as the reason for the visa denial, leading to tensions with Israel’s sports federation.
The newsletter closes with a guest editorial from Lora Rez, founder and executive director of StopAntisemitism, who emphasizes the need for accountability for those exhibiting hatred toward Jews. She stresses that the world must recognize and respond to antisemitism, ensuring that individuals who spew Jew-hatred are held to account.
