纽约市市长候选人Zohran Mamdani因错误地声称纽约警察局的靴子是以色列国防军制造的而引发了强烈的反弹,引发了有关他言论的激烈辩论。 NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani sparked backlash by falsely claiming NYPD boots are made by the IDF, reigniting debate over his rhetoric.

纽约市市长候选人Zohran Mamdani在2025年10月26日重新引发争议, 在一次集会上声称纽约警察局的靴子“被以色列国防军包住”, 将警察装备与以色列国防军联系起来。 New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reignited controversy on October 26, 2025, by asserting during a rally that NYPD boots are "laced by the IDF," linking police equipment to the Israel Defense Forces. 这项索赔最初在2023年的一段录像中提出,被广泛批评为反犹主义,反映了Mamdani长期以来对纽约警察局和美国外交政策的批评。 The claim, originally made in a 2023 video and widely criticized as antisemitic, reflects Mamdani’s longstanding critique of the NYPD and U.S. foreign policy. 尽管没有任何证据支持这一断言,但它对他关于执法、以色列和巴勒斯坦权利的言论进行了仔细审查,民意测验表明,尽管宗教领袖和批评者将他的言论说成是分裂言论,但一些犹太选民继续支持投票。 Though no evidence supports the assertion, it has drawn scrutiny over his rhetoric on law enforcement, Israel, and Palestinian rights, with polls showing continued support among some Jewish voters despite concerns from religious leaders and critics who label his statements as divisive.
