Jeff Lax | CUNY Professor, Pro-Israel Advocate | 06-25-25

Jeff Lax, CUNY Professor and pro-Israel advocate, calls into the program to talk about anti-Semitic social media bots that target his and Sid’s social media posts, the influence of paid protestors featured in pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses, and the financial underpinnings of these activities. The conversation then shifts to the New York mayoral race, expressing concerns about the impact of extreme candidates like now Democrat nominee Zohran Mamdani on the city’s future. Lax critiques antisemitic and Marxist normalization in politics, and delves into the implications of a potential general election win by a controversial candidate in Mamdani.
