The Anti-Israel Primary Wave Is Going National — Races to Watch After Kiros, Mamdani

Today's lead: The anti-Israel primary wave is no longer a New York story. From Arizona to Massachusetts to St. Louis, candidates who support BDS, oppose Israel's existence as a Jewish state, and call the IDF genocidal are lining up to replicate the Mamdani and Kiros playbook — and a new JTA/ToI analysis maps the next targets.

Also tracking: A landmark survey finds 57% of American Jews experienced antisemitism in the past year — released today on America's 250th — and Florida Gov. DeSantis officially designates CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations under state law.

In the wire: AIPAC's United Democracy Project launches its first attack ad against El-Sayed in Michigan, Alnaji gets just one year in county jail for killing Paul Kessler, and an anonymously-sourced NYT leak claims the U.S. warned Iran that Israel was plotting to kill its negotiators — denied by Israel, framed by Washington insiders competing on Iran strategy.
