Mayor Adams Cries Antisemitism, Ignores AIPAC's $3.5 Million NYC Fund
While Mayor Adams preached fear from Tel Aviv, claiming Rep. Jamaal Bowman's primary challenge by progressive DSA member Jabari Brisport made Jewish New Yorkers unsafe, he conveniently forgot to mention the financial influence behind such anxieties. Public records show organizations with strong ties to the Israeli government, particularly AIPAC, injected over $3.5 million into New York elections
in 2022 alone, aiming to unseat critics of Israeli policy like Rep. Bowman. AIPAC's super PAC, United Democracy Project, spent millions in NY-16 to oppose Bowman. So, is a New York mayor genuinely concerned about local safety, or is he effectively acting as a highly paid lobbyist for foreign interests, demonizing local democracy while funded by the very apparatus he ostensibly critiques? One might
wonder if the 'fear' he described is less about local politics and more about protecting political investments.
