纽约第10选区进步派众议院候选人Brad Lander在麦迪逊广场花园外的抗议活动中，因其以色列政策立场遭到抗议者的辱骂1。抗议者高喊"我们不要锡安主义者在这里。滚出去！"1
Lander是一名犹太人，自称为"自由主义锡安主义者"，但反对以色列对西岸和加沙的持续占领1。他支持限制美国对以色列的军事援助，并认为以色列在2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击后在加沙采取的军事行动构成种族灭绝1。今年6月初选中，Lander以明显优势击败了亲以色列的犹太人候选人Dan Goldman1。
事件发生后，印度美国穆斯林理事会为抗议者的言论向Lander道歉1。印度人权团体则称Lander是"长期盟友"，并对他批评印度民族主义组织RSS的立场表示支持1。
Brad Lander, the progressive congressional candidate for New York's 10th district, faced heckling from protesters outside Madison Square Garden during a demonstration against Indian nationalism, with critics targeting his position on Israel.1 Lander, who describes himself as a "liberal Zionist" while opposing Israel's ongoing occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, was confronted with chants of "We don't want Zionists here. Get out!"1
He defeated pro-Israel Jewish candidate Dan Goldman with a significant margin in June's primary election.1 Lander has characterized Israel's military operations in Gaza following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack as genocide, and he advocates for restricting American military aid to Israel.1
His stance has drawn support from some advocacy groups despite the confrontation. The Indian American Muslim Council issued a statement defending Lander, while Indian human rights organizations identified him as a "long-time ally" and endorsed his criticism of the RSS, India's nationalist organization.1
