A newly surfaced video from October 20, 2023, shows New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani leading protesters in the streets—just thirteen days after Hamas terrorists massacred over 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped hundreds of civilians.
In the footage, Mamdani stands before a crowd chanting and blocking traffic, calling the situation in Gaza a “genocide” before Israel had even launched a full military response.
That moment said everything about Mamdani’s worldview.

The October 7 attacks were the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
Hamas slaughtered families in their homes, burned babies alive, and dragged children into tunnels as hostages.
Yet less than two weeks later, a sitting New York assemblyman chose to accuse Israel—the country still identifying the bodies of its dead—of “genocide.”
If that’s not antisemitic, what is?
Mamdani’s record leaves little room for doubt. He has repeatedly labeled Israel an “apartheid state,” a claim that collapses under even basic scrutiny.

The city with the most Jews — and the global symbol of capitalism — is about to elect a communist, antisemitic mayor.

Arab citizens of Israel enjoy full voting rights, serve in the Knesset, and even sit on the Supreme Court.
The late Justice Salim Joubran, an Arab Christian, served on Israel’s highest court for over a decade.
Millions of Arab Israelis live freely, worship openly, and participate in the nation’s economy, education, and media.
In Gaza, by contrast, a Jew would be executed for simply crossing the border.
There is no Middle Eastern country that guarantees more freedom—religious, political, or social—than Israel.
Women vote, LGBTQ citizens serve in the military, and Christian and Muslim communities thrive under constitutional protections.
None of that seems to matter to Mamdani, who presents himself as a human rights champion yet never mentions the mass killings of Christians in Nigeria, the ethnic cleansing in Sudan, or the systemic abuses in Iran.
His outrage, it seems, only extends to America’s allies.

The pattern is clear: Mamdani’s activism is not rooted in universal human rights, but in a deep hostility toward the Western world.
His attacks on Israel, capitalism, and the so-called “rich elite” all share a common thread—resentment toward the principles that define free societies.
In the end, Mamdani’s protests are not focused on justice or peace. They’re main purpose serves to dismantle everything that works: democracy, capitalism, and the moral clarity that separates free nations from those that glorify terror.
The people of New York deserve better than a politician who defends extremists and vilifies the victims.
