The rise of fractures inside both parties over Israel and the growing visibility of antisemitism have turned races that might once have seemed parochial into national bellwethers.

Europe and America face a quiet yet powerful transformation, reshaping societies through demographics and ideology.

As demographics and politics shift, Europe and the US are quietly rethinking their alliances, and Israel is paying the price.

In a now-deleted X/Twitter post, Lopez responded to a video of two women caught tearing down hostage posters, writing “All I see are heroes.”

Mamdani has previously drawn criticism for his anti-Israel views and associations with antisemitic figures, including Catherine Almonte Da Costa, who resigned after antisemitic comments resurfaced.

For years, severe antisemitic incidents have steadily increased, intensifying further during the war in Gaza.

Mamdani released a statement of his own, saying that “Catherine expressed her deep remorse over her past statements and tendered her resignation, and I accepted."

Syrian-born Ramzi Kassem has served as the lawyer for multiple problematic individuals, including a close ally of Osama Bin Laden, Ahmed al-Darbi, convicted of bombing a French oil tanker.

Rabbi Marc Schneier sat down with The Media Line to discuss antisemitism, Israel’s changing place in the world, and the political shifts reshaping Jewish life in New York and beyond.
