Fiery Flyer
In Yiddsh: Belz Hassidim Urge Cuomo Vote, Warn of 'Enemies of Israel' in Fiery Flyer
As Polls Tighten, Orthodox Groups Mobilize Against Mamdani's Pro-Palestine Stance in High-Stakes Jewish Voter Drive
Belz community leaders are making a fervent final push for Andrew Cuomo in New York City's mayoral race, distributing flyers that label Zohran Mamdani as an "outspoken enemy of Israel" and urging voters to back the former governor or risk handing victory to Israel's foes.
The bold poster, declares Cuomo the sole protector of Torah institutions, Jewish safety, and pro-Israel values.
In Yiddish, it blares: "Andrew Cuomo For Mayor" and warns, "If you stay at home, this is a vote for the enemy of Israel!"
With polls tightening, Mamdani's lead is shrinking to 10 points per Siena College.
Endorsements from Agudath Israel and ex-Assemblyman Dov Hikind highlight fears over Mamdani's anti-Israel record, including "Not on Our Dime" bills and arms embargo calls.
Cuomo, campaigning on his hate-crime funding legacy, rallied supporters last week: "Antisemitism demands action." Mamdani counters he's no antisemite, condemning Hamas while advocating universal rights.
As early voting surges 15% over 2021, organizers knock doors in Borough Park. Rabbi David Zwiebel of Agudath Israel: "Abstaining empowers those undermining Israel."
With six days left, this grassroots blitz could tip the scales in a race echoing national divides.
