1/ Zohran Mamdani's apparent win in the NYC mayoral Democratic primary is being celebrated by some with hateful antisemitic tropes and extreme anti-Israel rhetoric.🧵

2/ Antisemites are relying on tired, hateful tropes like blaming Israel for 9/11 and claiming Israel controls American elections, while extreme anti-Israel activists are calling Mamdani's apparent win a blow to the "Zionist lobby."
3/ Antisemitic and anti-Zionist influencer Sulaiman Ahmed also referenced common antisemitic conspiracy theories about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And Mohammed El-Kurd posted “consider the intifada globalized.”
4/ Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, and other advocates have tried to paint the local race as a rejection of Zionism.
5/ Conspiratorial anti-Zionist influencer account “GenXGirl,” echoed classic antisemitic tropes about alleged Jewish power.
6/ The conspiratorial anti-Zionist Quds News Network, co-founded by New York City-based political organizer and anti-Israel activist Raja Abdulhaq, claimed Jews were behind opposition to Mandami.
7/ ‘MargBarAmerica’, who has a handle that translates into “Death to America,” and has 83,000+ followers, called the election an “inflection point for Zionism and the entity.”
8/ We said we would call this out and expect the candidates to do it as well.
