US EditionMamdani Says He Will ‘Discourage’ the Term ‘Globalize the Intifada’: New York Times
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 16 – Zohran Mamdani shifted to discourage the slogan amid criticism and pressure from business leaders ahead of the November election, with one-third of voters viewing his stance positively.
- On July 15, 2025, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, informed members of a prominent business group that he intends to discourage the phrase "globalize the intifada," though he stopped short of fully condemning it.
- Mamdani came under heavy criticism after he refused to repudiate the phrase during a podcast appearance just before the primary election, leading Democrats to demand a clear and firm disavowal.
- Mamdani associates the phrase with anticolonialism, supports its ideas, condemns violence, and states he does not use the phrase himself while planning to discourage others from using it.
- According to a recent survey, about one-third of voters in New York have a favorable opinion of Mamdani’s stance on the phrase and the boycott movement, while over half report that his position makes them less inclined to support him.
- Mamdani’s discouragement of the phrase signals a political concession to influential business leaders after his primary win while he continues to propose tax increases on the wealthy amid opposition from Governor Kathy Hochul.
