Jews who voted for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> are “idiot[s]” for embracing a candidate who runs “contrary to their own identity,” Jewish Harvard law professor and attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Wednesday during an appearance on former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani’s show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s your city! That’s your city, Mayor,\u201d Dershowitz said to Giuliani. \u201cThe same city electing Rudy Giuliani<\/a> and Mamdani to the same office. It is absurd. I mean, Mamdani should be the mayor of Tehran,\u201d said Dershowitz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dershowitz continued, saying, \u201cMy people, the idiot Jews, in New York, who live on the Upper West Side, who live in Park Slope, who voted for Mamdani- remind me of the 7,000 Jews who voted for Hitler.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSeven thousand Jews formed a party in 1932 and voted for Hitler, thinking he would be good for the economy.\u201d Dershowitz concluded, \u201cThank God, we have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, and other Americans who have a lot more sense than many Jewish Americans do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Giuliani interjected briefly, saying, \u201cThere are a lot of very strong Jews on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two agreed that \u201cnothing woke them up in 1932,\u201d referring to Jews who continued to back Nazi-figures as the war began.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d think they’d learn their lesson,\u201d Dershowitz said, \u201cbut no, they vote for Brad Lander.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brad Lander, an anti-Israel Jewish-American candidate, is the Mamdani-endorsed nominee for New York’s 10th congressional district, having defeated incumbent Representative Dan Goldman in last month’s primary.<\/p>\n

Dershowitz and Giuliani further discussed a wide range of issues, including birthright citizenship, transgender athletes in sports, and campaign finance limits.<\/p>\n

The conversation comes shortly after the US Supreme Court struck down Trump\u2019s Birthright Citizenship<\/a> executive order, which attempted to end \u201cbirthright citizenship,\u201d instead opting to reaffirm \u201cone of the country\u2019s most enduring constitutional principles: that nearly everyone born on US soil is a US citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who are Giuliani, Dershowitz?<\/p>\n

Giuliani, a member of the Republican Party who described himself as the tough-on-crime mayor who reshaped New York and led the city’s response to 9\/11, has since been permanently disbarred from practicing law for his role in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election on Trump’s behalf.<\/p>\n

Dershowitz’s own reputation has similarly faced scrutiny in recent years over his professional ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.<\/p>\n

Dershowitz joined Epstein’s legal team and helped negotiate the 2008 non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to serve a reduced sentence. He was later named in a since-withdrawn defamation claim by Epstein<\/a> accuser Virginia Giuffre, who alleged in 2015 that Dershowitz had also abused her; Giuffre dropped those allegations against him in 2022, saying she “may have made a mistake.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dershowitz has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged in connection with the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jews who voted for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani are “idiot[s]” for embracing a candidate who runs “contrary to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[51864,28207,9921,34,59664,4204,42091,69,8983],"class_list":["post-203316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tehran","tag-adolf-hitler","tag-alan-dershowitz","tag-diaspora-jews","tag-iran","tag-jeffery-epstein","tag-new-york","tag-rudy-giuliani","tag-tehran","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116909428332078112","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
