you shouldn't host events at synagogues encouraging people to illegally settle in occupied territory, which is an act that directly interferes in the possibility of a two-state solution. you also shouldn't protest outside a synagogue while chanting "death to" anyone.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.
