Brad Lander, a self-hating Jewish Democratic primary candidate for New York’s 10th Congressional District, is facing backlash after appearing at the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens on May 15, where he recited – and actually sang – a verse from the Quran in Arabic, accused Israel of carrying out “genocide in Gaza,” and said he hopes to build political partnerships with Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib in Congress.
Speaking to congregants, Lander described himself as “a proud Jewish New Yorker” and vowed to oppose future U.S. military aid to Israel if elected.
“I believe, as a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a desecration, a violation of the understanding that everyone is created in divine image. Every one of those Palestinian kids in Gaza is just as divine as my beloved children.
“And so yes, 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.
“The kind of partnership I developed with Zohran I hope to come to have with Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and others in Congress, to show we can build a city, and a country, and a world that everyone can afford, and where everyone is welcome, and where everyone’s humanity is respected.
“In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Say: ‘He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge, He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.’ Thank you very much for welcoming me today.”
Following Lander’s remarks, the imam led a supplication saying: “Through your hands comes the relief for the believers and the killing of the infidels by your sword.”

Oy lander has gotten worse and worse with each passing year, to the point of no return pretty much. I hope one of his Islamic friends show him the gratitude that they’re known for very soon
He is an 注诪诇拽讬 砖讘驻谞讬诐
A filthy goy. Dog ben dog.
At this point of lunacy, what is next, ‘Heebs for Hitler’? Unbelievable. 25 years after 9 /11. Well, ya get the government you deserve.
Every generation there are Jews who believe saying and doing all “the right things” will get them excused from the hatred of those who hate. He should study how hard the Jews in Germany worked at that and how that worked out for them.
Brad is a Liska B.P. Chusid, good buddy of the son of the Rebbe, he shops for an esrog with him, and employed his wife.
It鈥檚 amazing how low a person can fall just to get a job and some power.
This won’t land him in a good place…Time to return.
I hope Brad Lander gets the same gehonim as his “alliances illahn ohmer and zoran the communist
He鈥檚 Mamash a Kapo!
He should be eliminated from NYC
@NotPoshut,
Whilst I fully believe in building the bridges to keep our communities safe and keeping lines open, like Satmar did with Mumdumi, even if one has to hold their nose to any of his policies, as he is mayor whether people like it or not, but there is a red line, and to that I agree 100% with you about the fake currying favour thinking that will help.
Since I do not come from or live in the USA, and am mostly unfamiliar with this Lander outside of news I hear about him, I am not sure, but is he crazy, mentally disabled, cruel, evil, a traitor, an amaleki?? Or maybe all?? JUST WHAT IS THIS CREATURE THINKING?? Just look at his face when he speaks, SO SO FAKE!!
