A recent New York Times article claims that many Jewish voters support Zohran Mamdani, but a closer look at those quoted reveals strong ties to far-left activism and Mamdani's own campaign. Among the supporters highlighted are Rachel Timoner, a Brooklyn rabbi known for her outspoken criticism of Israel and activism on progressive causes, and Emily Hoffman, an attorney and longtime backer of left-wing New York politicians. The article also features Beth Miller, political director of a group that has been widely condemned by mainstream Jewish organizations for its anti-Israel stance.

Several individuals quoted by the Times either work for or volunteer with Mamdani's campaign, raising questions about the breadth of support among Jewish voters. The groups and individuals mentioned have histories of supporting controversial positions, including boycotts of Israel and calls to abolish the police. Critics argue that the Times' portrayal does not reflect the views of the broader Jewish community.
