| THE LIE Zohran Mamdani is just “anti-Israel,” not antisemitic. He is against the Israeli government, not the Jewish people. |
| THE TRUTH There is no such thing as being anti-Israel without being anti-Jewish. Israel is the world’s only Jewish state; to delegitimize its existence is to target Jews collectively. Mamdani’s record — defending Hamas “resistance,” refusing to condemn jihad, and accusing Israel of “genocide” — exposes the lie. His words are not political criticism; they are the modern language of antisemitism, dressed up as “justice.” |
| BACKGROUND ➜ After the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — Mamdani’s political home — refused to condemn Hamas and organized rallies glorifying “resistance.” https://www.inss.org.il/social_media/mamdanis-victory-in-new-york-a-warning-sign-for-israel ➜ As Israel defended itself, Mamdani and DSA accused the Jewish state of “genocide,” portraying terrorism as “self-defense.”https://www.timesofisrael.com/mamdani-linked-dsa-condemns-gaza-ceasefire-backs-palestinian-resistance/ ➜ Even after the October 2025 U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire, DSA denounced the truce as “imperialist” and reaffirmed support for “armed resistance.”https://www.timesofisrael.com/mamdani-linked-dsa-condemns-gaza-ceasefire-backs-palestinian-resistance/➜ When asked if Hamas should lay down its weapons or surrender Gaza, Mamdani said he had “no opinions” — even as he campaigns to disarm Americans through strict gun control. He supports rifles for jihadists but not for law-abiding citizens. Source: Instagram, Oct 2025 — https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP2AdI9kfix ➜ His wife publicly mourned Saleh al-Jafarawi, a Hamas propagandist who celebrated the Oct. 7 massacre. https://nypost.com/2025/10/13The Truth Explained: ➜Mamdani Refuses to condemn Hamas: When asked whether Hamas should disarm or surrender Gaza, Mamdani replied he had “no opinions,” yet accused Israel of “genocide.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/mamdani-linked-dsa-condemns-gaza-ceasefire-backs-palestinian-resistance/ ➜ He supports arming terrorists, disarming citizens: Endorses Palestinians using weapons against Jews while demanding gun restrictions for Americans. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP2AdI9kfix ➜ Ties to Hamas propaganda: His wife mourned Hamas influencer Saleh al-Jafarawi, who glorified the Oct 7 slaughter. https://nypost.com/2025/10/13➜ Radical ideology: Promotes “socialist justice” policies that call to defund police, open borders, and weaken the U.S.–Israel alliance — echoing Iran’s proxies. https://www.inss.org.il/social_media/mamdanis-victory-in-new-york-a-warning-sign-for-israel ➜ Mainstreaming antisemitism: Through DSA, Mamdani spreads the lie that Zionism equals fascism, embedding antisemitic hostility in America’s most Jewish city. https://www.timesofisrael.com/mamdani-linked-dsa-condemns-gaza-ceasefire-backs-palestinian-resistance/ ➜ To create cover for his extremism, Mamdani even spent Sukkot celebrating with anti-Zionist ultra-Orthodox Jews, using their fringe rejection of Israel to mask his own hostility toward the Jewish state. https://www.ynetnews.com/jewish-world/article/rkkgz00paxx ➜ Jewish progressives defending him: Far-left Jewish activists now argue that Mamdani simply is “anti-Israel, not antisemitic.” In doing so, they blur moral lines and legitimize antisemitism within progressive politics. https://www.inss.org.il/social_media/mamdanis-victory-in-new-york-a-warning-sign-for-israel |
| QUOTES ➜ “We have watched as our tax dollars have funded a genocide.” — Zohran Mamdani, X post, Oct 13 2025 ➜ “DSA harbors no illusions that Israel will honor any agreement… past ceasefires only slowed the carnage.” — Democratic Socialists of America statement, Oct 14 2025 ➜ “Mamdani acts as a mouthpiece for Hamas propaganda, normalizes antisemitism, and stands with Jews only when they are dead.” — Israel Foreign Ministry, Oct 11 2025 |
| TAKEAWAY➜ To be anti israel is to be antisemitic. Zorhan Mamdani’s words, alliances, and defenders prove that he doesn’t just dislike Israel, he dislikes the Jewish people. And his rise in New York City shows how hatred of the Jewish state and of Jews themselves is creeping into mainstream American politics. |
