Dynamic Zohran Mamdani (D) skipped the parade, the first NYC Mayor ever to not kowtow to AIPAC.
He declared Smotrich's "presence in our city is an affront to everything New York stands for."
NYS AG Letitia James (D), who backed the Jewish community in a speech at the parade, said, "Islamophobia has no place in New York. I unequivocally condemn Bezalel Smotrich's hateful rhetoric."
Former NYC Comptroller Brad Lander is challenging incumbent US Representative Dan Goldman (D) for NY's 10th Congressional District, covering lower Manhattan and part of Brooklyn, and he weighed in on the repulsive Bezalel Smotrich.
"We're both proud Jewish New Yorkers. But there are sharp and clear differences between us on Israel/Palestine," Lander said.
"For example, Dan Goldman marched alongside war criminal Bezalel Smotrich yesterday, who called it "just and moral" to starve Gaza. I did not."
Brad Lander is a mensch, wealthy Dan Goldman is not. This is why Brad Lander has a 34-point lead on Goldman; Zohran Mamdani is endorsing Lander.

A Sikh system, if you will.
