The Antisemitic demagogue poised to turn New York City into a safe haven for Hamas sympathizers

As polls close on this pivotal Election Day, New Yorkers face a stark choice: preserve the world's greatest city as a beacon of freedom and diversity, or hand the keys to Zohran Mamdani, a radical Democratic Socialist whose unapologetic hostility toward Israel veers perilously close to outright endorsement of the terrorist group Hamas.

Mamdani, the far-left firebrand leading the mayoral race against independents like Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, isn't just a progressive outlier—he's a threat to the fabric of American values, cloaked in the rhetoric of "justice" for Palestinians that masks deep-seated antisemitism.

Mamdani's campaign thrives on a toxic brew of identity politics and anti-Western fervor, but it's his obsessive demonization of Israel that should send chills down the spine of every voter, especially in a city home to over 1.1 million Jewish residents—the largest Jewish population outside Israel.  This isn't abstract ideology; it's a direct assault on New York's soul.

Mamdani has repeatedly accused Israel of "genocide" in Gaza, labeling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "war criminal" while conveniently dodging any meaningful condemnation of Hamas, the Islamist militants responsible for the October 7, 2023, massacre that slaughtered 1,200 innocents and took 250 hostages.

When pressed on Hamas atrocities during a recent debate, Mamdani's response? "I only comment on matters related to New York City." This evasion isn't coy—it's complicit, a deliberate signal to his extremist base that Palestinian "resistance" (code for terrorism) gets a pass.

Let's dispense with the euphemisms: Mamdani's "support for Palestinians" isn't about humanitarian aid or peace—it's a thinly veiled celebration of jihadist violence.

He champions the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, a discriminatory campaign designed to economically strangle Israel into oblivion, while sponsoring legislation to defund Jewish charities that dare support the Jewish state.

His rap lyrics as a former artist even shout out the "Holy Land Five," convicted terrorists who funneled millions to Hamas.  

And don't forget his outright rejection of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state: "I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion," he sneers, ignoring the 50-plus Muslim-majority nations that enshrine Islamic supremacy in their constitutions.

This selective outrage reeks of hypocrisy—and worse, of the classic antisemitic trope that Jews are uniquely unworthy of self-determination.

Critics aren't imagining this bigotry; it's Mamdani's family legacy. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, a Columbia University professor, has glorified Palestinian suicide bombers as "soldiers" in the noble fight against "settler colonialism," framing Israel's very existence as an imperial sin.

Zohran parrots this poison, peddling conspiracy-laden libels about Israeli "apartheid" and refusing to visit the country he so despises—lest he confront the thriving democracy his ideology seeks to dismantle.  

Even as he vows to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York, Mamdani's rhetoric echoes the chants of "globalize the intifada" that have fueled antisemitic attacks on American streets post-October 7.  

In a city still reeling from synagogue vandalism and campus pogroms, electing this man would be tantamount to rolling out the red carpet for those who cheered the slaughter of Jewish families.

The Jewish community, traditionally a Democratic bedrock, is fracturing under Mamdani's onslaught. 

Polls show him hemorrhaging support among Jewish voters, with many "hating their choices" in a race where his lead stems not from broad appeal but from mobilizing anti-Israel radicals.  

Rabbis and community leaders have issued desperate "calls to action" against him, decrying false accusations of genocide denial while highlighting his refusal to sponsor Holocaust Remembrance Day legislation after October 7—a snub that speaks volumes.

Yet Mamdani's DSA-backed machine dismisses these outcries as "Zionist smears," further alienating moderates and emboldening the fringes.  

His "unlikely coalition" with some progressive Jews is a mirage—built on guilt-tripping narratives that equate criticism of Hamas with complicity in "genocide."  One self-proclaimed supporter even admits opposing his Israel stance but voting anyway, a tragic capitulation to the very division Mamdani sows.

New York cannot afford this madness. 

Mamdani's vision isn't one of affordable housing or public safety—it's a dystopia where taxpayer dollars fund BDS zealots, police prioritize "equity" over cracking down on antisemitic thugs, and the mayor's office becomes a bullhorn for Islamist propaganda.

His performative extremism extends beyond the Middle East: he'd gut U.S. alliances, slash deterrence against aggressors like Putin, and import the chaos of "decolonization" rhetoric that glorifies terrorists as heroes.  

In a post-October 7 world, where Hamas's barbarism exposed the rot in leftist academia and activism, Mamdani represents the nadir—a charismatic con artist peddling eliminationist fantasies under the guise of socialism.

Voters, this is your sursaut—the liberal awakening the city desperately needs.

Reject Mamdani's Hamas-adjacent hatred.

Back Cuomo or Sliwa, flawed as they may be, over this existential peril. New York's Jewish heart beats strong; don't let a demagogue extinguish it. The stakes tomorrow aren't just a ballot—they're the soul of the free world. Choose wisely.
