US EditionJewish leaders slam Mamdani’s pro-Palestinian St. Patrick’s Day
Mayor Zohran Mamdani labeled Israel's Gaza actions as genocide, highlighting global silence and invoking Irish solidarity, amid criticism from Jewish groups and scrutiny of his family ties.
- At a St. Patrick's Day breakfast at Gracie Mansion, Zohran Mamdani, New York City Mayor, accused Israel of carrying out a 'genocide' against Palestinians and shared the remarks on social media.
- Invoking Irish history, Mamdani used St. Patrick and Coroticus to link Irish oppression with Palestinian suffering, compressing roughly 1,600 years of Irish history into his solidarity-themed speech.
- Pointing to Gaza's suffering, Mamdani said the death toll now far exceeds 67,000, lamented a "deafening silence" over Palestinian suffering, and referenced the October 7 attacks and Hamas.
- The American Jewish Committee responded that Mamdani's rhetoric 'distorts reality and fuels antisemitism', while Jewish leaders met Tuesday and New York State lawmakers said buffer-zone bill momentum grows.
- Polls suggest a broader context, with Gallup finding 41 per cent now sympathise with Palestinians versus 36 per cent for Israel, amid ongoing scrutiny of Mamdani's family ties.
