“My support for BDS,” the likely next mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has said, “is consistent with the core of my politics, which is nonviolence. And I think that it is a legitimate movement when you are seeking to find compliance with international law.” But is the “core” of his politics really nonviolence? It seems not.
The clearest indication of that is Mamdani’s repeated refusal to denounce the phrase “Globalize the Intifada.” The First and Second Intifadas were two violent uprisings of Palestinian Arabs against Israel, in which over a thousand Israelis were killed. To call for “globalizing the Intifada” is effectively to call for violence against Jews anywhere and everywhere they may be found.
The controversy began on June 17, 2025, when an interviewer, The Bulwark’s Tim Miller, said this to Mamdani: “We mentioned the Islamophobia. Obviously, we also have to be worried about the uptick in antisemitism. And there’s one thing in particular that frustrates me when talking with folks on the left. And that is like downplaying this conversation about how there obviously is antisemitism on the right, but there’s antisemitism coming from the left and coming from these protests. And one example I think of is this phrase, ‘Globalize the Intifada,’ which is a very popular phrase at protests on the left. And maybe some people say that phrase with good intent, but there are certainly some people who are saying that phrase with violent intent. So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase ‘Globalize the Intifada’ and what we’ve seen as some antisemitism coming from the left-wing protesters.”
Mamdani responded by making it clear that he was not in favor of banning the phrase, which no one had actually called for doing, and got in a dig at Trump, claiming fancifully that he was banning the use of certain words”: “And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety. to the question of language that’s being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump-style approach to how to lead a country.”
Pressed further on what he actually thought of the call to “Globalize the Intifada,” Mamdani tried to downplay the meaning of the phrase: “And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what’s difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic, because it’s a word that means struggle.” Actually, jihad means “struggle”; intifada means “shaking off,” or “uprising.” --->READ MORE HERE
The shocking headlines read like dark satire jokes on sites like The Onion or The Babylon Bee. Only, tragically, they’re real.
While leftists claim they care for women and other historically marginalized groups, their policies show otherwise. Latest case: socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani saying domestic violence victims don’t deserve police response.
As reported by Jon Levine at The Washington Free Beacon, Mamdani said during a 2020 podcast that armed police were not the correct response to domestic violence calls. The New York Police Department reportedly responded to these types of calls more than 100,000 times in 2024.
As a domestic abuse survivor (and nearly 10-year resident of New York City who fled in 2020), for me, this is a horrific, chilling sentiment from a supposed public servant.
It’s also a slap in the face to women, who are by far the most common victims of domestic violence, rather than tall, young men like Mamdani, who at 33 years old towers above women in his social media posts.
“There’s a lot of humans who are victims in the city of New York, and they need protection because sometimes it’s a matter of life and death. They’re hiding in the bathroom with their children, and they need someone to come immediately,” Michelle Esquenazi, founder of the New York-based Victims Rights Reform Council, told Fox News Digital.
Esquenazi said the New York Police Department saved her life after her ex-husband attacked her in their Queens home in 1993 while she was pregnant and with her other children. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
