New Yorkers are waking up to a dangerous reality: Zohran Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and the Democratic front-runner for mayor, has publicly accused Israel of launching a “genocidal war” on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 massacre and used language that mirrors Hamas talking points. Jerusalem’s foreign ministry publicly rebuked him for “acting as a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda,” and rightly so — when you repeat the enemy’s numbers and slogans, you amplify their narrative, not peace.
Mamdani isn’t some fringe voice from the suburbs; he’s a self-styled Democratic Socialist who openly champions BDS and has a track record of opposing mainstream American support for our allies. He’s running to lead the nation’s greatest city while cozying up to radical causes instead of defending Jewish New Yorkers and the Jewish state — a disqualifying posture for anyone seeking the mayoralty.
Even more alarming is his refusal to clearly denounce the slogan “globalize the intifada,” a phrase too often used to glorify violence against Jews and Israelis. When asked repeatedly, Mamdani equivocated and even compared the phrase to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising — an inversion of history that insults Holocaust memory and signals moral confusion at best and dangerous sympathy at worst. Americans deserve leaders who say “no” unequivocally to chants and movements that flirt with ethnic violence.
Beyond rhetoric, Mamdani’s alliances and donor networks raise real security questions. Photographs and reports tie him to controversial figures and Islamist activists, and critics point to an ecosystem of anti-Israel donors and academic backers funding his rise — the kind of foreign-influenced, radical money that corrodes local governance and betrays ordinary New Yorkers. New Yorkers must ask whether a candidate backed by extremists can be trusted to keep the city safe.
Conservative watchdogs and voices like Mark Levin have been vindicated in sounding the alarm about the poisonous fusion of Marxism and Islamism now creeping into mainstream politics; Levin has repeatedly warned that the left’s rank-and-file are aligning with anti-Western Islamist currents and that figures like Mamdani embody that danger. This isn’t mere hyperbole — it’s a clarion call to defend American institutions, our ally Israel, and the rule of law from ideologues who would reframe terrorism as “resistance.”
Democrats who shrug at Mamdani’s evasions or who run interference are complicit in normalizing extremism. The mayoral debate exposed the stakes: rival candidates and even some in Mamdani’s party pressed him to clarify whether he condemns Hamas and the language that incites violence, and he failed to provide the moral clarity New Yorkers demand on matters of terrorism and antisemitism. City leadership is not an arena for academic equivocation; it’s a job that requires defending citizens, not reading talking points for hostile regimes.
Patriots and hardworking New Yorkers must vote with their eyes open. Early voting in this race is underway and the consequences of electing a mayor who parrots hostile narratives will be felt in our streets, our schools, and our foreign policy posture — a reality that should unite commonsense voters across party lines to reject radicalism. Stand with our allies, defend our Jewish neighbors, and demand leaders who love America, the Constitution, and the truth.
