Charrington has been embroiled in a legal inheritance fight <\/a>over her family\u2019s brownstone home in Bed-Stuy, and outrageously pointed the finger at \u201cZionists\u201d with ties to the West Bank for her troubles.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re Zionists that basically did this. Same thing that they\u2019re doing in the West Bank, it\u2019s the same thing. There\u2019s a connection,\u201d Charring recently told Egyptian podcaster Raha Zein, an interview that was picked up by Jewish Insider <\/a>Tuesday.<\/p>\n Charrington also stirred outrage <\/a>last year when she shared a video on Instagram promoting notorious antisemite industrialist Henry Ford\u2019s \u201cThe International Jew\u201d booklets that falsely claimed Jewish people control business, media and banking.<\/p>\n \u201cRepeatedly invoking Zionists\u2019 as a collective villain, particularly after previously promoting Henry Ford\u2019s \u2018The International Jew\u2019, is not legitimate policy criticism. It traffics in some of the oldest and most dangerous forms of antisemitic scapegoating,\u201d said Mark Treyger, CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council.<\/p>\n \u201cRhetoric has consequences. Jewish New Yorkers continue to be disproportionately targeted by hate crimes. We have witnessed physical attacks and synagogues targeted,\u201d Treyger said. <\/p>\n \u201cCarmella Charrington should resign as district leader. She has demonstrated that she is unfit for this position of public trust.\u201d<\/p>\n Charrington has claimed she\u2019s a victim of deed theft, but a Georgia conservator accused her of kidnapping her elderly father, who suffers from dementia. In the podcast interview, she mentioned Joseph and Elliot Ambalo and Daniel Gazal, who bought stakes in the property from the conservator for Charrington\u2019s dad.<\/p>\n State Sen. Sam Sutton, who reps southern Brooklyn, said Charrington\u2019s smearing of Jews cannot be condoned.<\/p>\n \u201cAs the first Sephardic Jewish state senator in New York history, I cannot remain silent when antisemitism is legitimized in my home borough,\u201d Sutton said.<\/p>\n \u201cBrooklyn is the largest Democratic county in America, in a city home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel,\u201d he said. \u201cYet Jewish New Yorkers continue to be the leading targets of hate crimes<\/a> in our city.<\/p>\n \u201cWords and leadership matter,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cCarmella Charrington has demonstrated that she is unfit for public duty. She should resign immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Carmella](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/outside-judge-rachel-freier-s-127198725.jpg\")
