“As a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a desecration”
Brad Lander, a close Zohran Mamdani ally, who repeatedly claims to be Jewish, while covering for Mamdani and every other leftist and Islamist, took it to a whole new level. So much so he ended up on MEMRI.
In a truly astonishing video, Brad Lander speaks at a mosque, repeats the Hamas propaganda about “genocide”, while claiming to be a “proud Jew”, recites an Islamic prayer, and the Imam prays for the death of infidels.
Brad Lander, a Democratic primary candidate for New York’s 10th Congressional District, recited a verse from the Quran in Arabic during a May 15, 2026 visit to the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens, New York. Describing himself as “a proud Jewish New Yorker,” Lander said that what he called “Israel’s genocide in Gaza” violates the belief that all people are created in God’s image. He added that if elected to Congress, he hopes to build the same kind of partnership he has with Zohran Mamdani alongside Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
Following his remarks, the imam led the congregation in a supplication asking that relief come to the believers through the Mahdi and through the killing of infidels by his sword.
It’s not as if this is even new, Mamdani had been previously criticized for being at the mosque during the prayers to kill infidels. So Lander could very well have known about it and was fine with the murder of non-Muslims.
There’s probably no way to top this video. It’s the absolute peak of “as a Jewness” so much that you would almost think that it’s ‘Rabbi Linda’ style satire if you didn’t know that Brad Lander is all too real.
“I believe, as a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a desecration,” Brad Lander declares. “In Congress I will not vote for any more U.S. military aid to Israel – not the bombs that are destroying the hospitals and schools in Gaza, and not the occupation in Lebanon, which is now I believe unfortunately on its way potentially to being a genocide as well.”
These people started out in Peace Now and J Street and then went on to If Not Now, it’s 2026, and by 2030, they’ll be actively cheering the murder of Jews while claiming that they’re “proud Jews”.
The mosque predictably is alleged to have ties to Iran.
Then there’s Brad Lander’s Islamic recitation which can be seen as an acknowledgement of the Islamic deity: surely a very Jewish moment. Perhaps a little joke on him by whichever Muslim staffer prepped him for it.
The recitation is Surah Al-Ikhlas Chapter 112 of the Koran. Here’s Chapter 109. “In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say, “O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshippers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.”
Perhaps Brad Lander should have read that one instead.

There is no polite term to identify this guy – his ignorance and stupidity. He is indeed a ‘useful idiot’ of the Imams.
This statement is clearly untrue – all elements of it –
“As a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a desecration”

Another fool full of “pride.” If only those fools could see false ‘pride goes before a fall.’ A “fall” into evil.
And there he is, hobnobbing with some of the worst. Being in close company with those who will cut his throat and cheer the murders of his family

The Islam population is growing rapidly over there because of free free free.
To be fair, he must grovel. How can he win? He might as well stay home and not run.
The Islam vote. Even Trump went to multiple Islam communities to grovel and promise for Gaza. Let’s be totally fair.
CHEVELLE says
It should not be surprising. Both religious groups are democrats by big margins.
Muslims and Jews are liberals. Muslims prefer freebies. The Jews are 80-90 percent Democrat and I really don’t understand why, but they are.
So both groups vote the same way. It’s simple stuff. It’s the same in California. It’s the same for Bernie. Muslims love Bernie. It’s about the big picture they work as one.
Republican Jews are a different breed. They are on their shit. They get everything like nobody. Few and far in between. They must bring us more republican votes from their communities. It’s common sense for Jews and MAGA to align bigly. We want them in. We need votes.

Par for the Dhimmicrat course. Hey, pal, shoe leather isn’t kosher.
Chevelle says
Tell your people to vote Republican. What’s going on over there. We stand against anti semitism. Omar Talib aoc all that hates your people. Tell them to vote Republican.

Very serious.

He should simply follow the footsteps of Joseph Cohen, who converted to islam & got the new name of Yousuf Islam, and became a virulent antisemite ever since

Brenrod says
Sounds more like a Muslim convert than a Jew. Kapo Jews also helped the Nazis to save themselves so nothing new. If he says Israel commits genocide then his lies incite murder of Jews the same as Hamas and leftist lies. As such I consider him to be an accessory to the murder and lynching of Jews.

We all know the Lord of our hearts will overcome the pigs at the table. There is no way we can lose.
Look at the Gates of Vienna 1683. Be Brave.
Namer says
If it werent for the Jewish and Gay vote, Mamdani would not have been elected. BTW lets not forget the female vote. And they are getting exactly what they wanted – the Islamization of NYC. Its only a question of time before NYC will be its own Islamic state. Then the violence against those same groups will begin.
Remember its what they wanted.
