Mamdani’s politics linked to Muslim Brotherhood ideology as New York violence escalates: report

Fox News · 2 hours ago

A Fox News opinion piece reports on an ISGAP (Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy) report linking New York City mayoral figure Zohran Mamdani's politics to Muslim Brotherhood ideology, framing this alongside a rise in antisemitic violence in the city. The article uses a recent knife attack on the Upper West Side, in which two men were stabbed near Central Park, as a starting point to argue that concerns about the mayor's rhetoric and associations are becoming more urgent given the current climate of rising antisemitism.

The piece notes the attack occurred on Tisha B'Av, a solemn day in the Jewish calendar, when an assailant reportedly shouting "Allahu Akbar" stabbed two men, one wearing a yarmulke, aged 50 and 57; both survived and a suspect has been taken into custody while police investigate the motive. The article also cites commentary from figures including former mayor Eric Adams, Yeshiva University president Rabbi Ari Berman, and commentator Lizzy Savetsky, who criticise Mamdani's stance on Israel and link his rhetoric to a broader rise in antisemitic hostility in the city.
