Overview
- A newly released clip shows Lander walking with Mayor Zohran Mamdani and saying, “Or AIPAC either,” after a prompt about not selling out to special interests.
- Lander is challenging Rep. Dan Goldman for the Democratic nomination in New York’s 10th Congressional District.
- Both candidates are Jewish progressives, though Lander has taken tougher positions on Israel, including accusing Israel of genocide, while Goldman criticizes the Netanyahu government and supports Israel’s security as a Jewish state.
- Mamdani’s endorsement contrasts with support for Goldman from Gov. Kathy Hochul and, as of Thursday, Planned Parenthood, according to the JTA report.
- The video names only AIPAC, reflecting the lobby’s growing status as a political flashpoint across factions.
