  "summary": "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. Despite the confrontational atmosphere, Lander stood his ground and clarified his position, emphasizing his support for Israel's existence as a Jewish and democratic state. The incident highlights the complex relationship between progressive politics and Israel, as Lander has become one of the most prominent Jewish critics of Israel within the Democratic Party.",
