A majority of Jews support the entity, and New York is the most Jewish major city in the US. It makes a lot of sense that it came up

I, for one, still think it's mostly racism against the muslim guy

sure that's why the zionist shitbag pressure was on the media to bring it up, but it's still really out of place in a non-federal election

Just from a quick search:

New York State Executive Order 157: Issued in 2016 by then-Governor Cuomo, this order directs state entities to divest public funds from institutions or companies supporting the BDS campaign against Israel. The order aims to prevent state agencies from investing in or promoting activities related to the BDS campaign.

New York City Council Resolution 1058-2016: This resolution condemns efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel and the global BDS movement.

Plus we have severe repression of the pro-Palestine/anti-genocide movement at Columbia University and by the NYPD, meanwhile Itamar Ben Gvir gets to saunter around NYC with a police detail. Of course it's relevant.
