Mamdani Slightly Cools Kill the Jews Rhetoric

Great news for Jews. The frontrunner for next mayor of New York has backed off slightly from calling for them to be killed:

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, told a group of influential business leaders on Tuesday that he would refrain from using the phrase “globalize the intifada” and would discourage its use by others, addressing concerns about the term’s perceived association with violence against Jews.

Mamdani has been forced to change policy. Up until now he has refused to disavow the maleficent slogan.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist [i.e., communist] assemblyman from Queens and a vocal critic of Israel’s military actions in Gaza, acknowledged that while some use the phrase to express solidarity with Palestinians, many New Yorkers interpret it as a call to violence against Israel.

It isn’t one or the other. To bark “Globalize the Intifada” is to express solidarity with Palestinians in their goal of achieving “From the River to the Sea” — i.e., the eradication of all Jews from their ancient homeland.

Mamdani, who would become New York’s first Muslim mayor if elected, has frequently expressed sympathy for Palestinians and shared emotional accounts of facing Islamophobic rhetoric…

Mamdani’s fellow Muslims killed thousands in New York on 9/11. Now New Yorkers are invited to weep for this sniveling victim of “Islamophobic rhetoric.”
