In this shocking video, New York Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander, who proudly calls himself a Jew, stands at the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens and accuses Israel of “genocide” in Gaza. He vows never to vote for U.S. military aid to the Jewish state.

Then, after he leaves the stage, the imam recites a prayer calling for the Mahdi to bring “the killing of the kafirs (non-Muslims) by the sword.”

This moment exposes the growing danger of jihadi ideology in New York and the West. A man claiming to be a Jewish leader attacks the Jewish state, while the audience prays for the death of Jews and all non-Muslims.

After October 7, many Israelis expected the country to unite around the reality of the jihadist threat facing the Jewish people. Yet Avi explains how parts of Israel’s media, academia, schools, and cultural institutions continue shaping young Israelis to feel more discomfort toward religious Jews, settlers, and Jewish nationalism than toward Hamas, radical Islam, and the enemies openly calling for Israel’s destruction.
