Progressive Jewish Organizations Condemn Anti-Defamation League's "Mamdani Monitor"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A coalition of progressive Jewish organizations are condemning the
Anti-Defamation League over what the groups say are Islamophobic and
racist attacks against New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. The ADL
has created a so-called "Mamdani Monitor" to track policies proposed by
Mamdani that the ADL deems antisemitic. Mamdani is New York's first
Muslim mayor, and has been an outspoken critic of Israel over its
occupation of Palestine and war on Gaza. The Jewish groups include If
Not Now and Bend the Arc which said in a statement, "We reject false
accusations of antisemitism against Black, brown, and Muslim progressive
champions who are fighting for a country where all of us can thrive."
