ADL chief attacks Zohran Mamdani, but gets his facts wrong

JL;DR SUMMARY Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, criticized NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for allegedly not engaging with Jewish communities and for not condemning the slogan 'globalize the Intifada.' A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
