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 IfNotNow 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.”
