Anti-Israel extremists, largely pretending to be from the Bronx, are planning a protest, falsely accusing me of being “wanted for genocide.” I had a tough upbringing in the projects in the Bronx. I don’t scare easily. I won’t shy away from fighting for my Jewish constituents who feel threatened by the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The extremists can’t and won’t intimidate me with their crazed lies and blood libels. I am fearless.
