    There’s a huge Jewish population in NYC, and many mistakenly assume that all of them support what Israel is doing. To a lot of people Judaism=Zionism.

      Even if that assumption were correct, the mayor of NYC cannot meaningfully aid or hinder Israel’s actions. A politician’s position on an issue far outside the scope of the office they’re seeking doesn’t usually influence my vote.
