Jewish Democratic candidate for the US House of Representatives, Brad Lander, faced verbal abuse and accusations of being a "Zionist" during a protest against a Hindu nationalist event at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Lander, who has been a vocal critic of Israel's policies in Gaza, attempted to join the cause but was met with hostility from some protesters, who shouted insults and demanded he leave.
