Mamdani Discourages 'Globalize the Intifada'; Scrutiny Intensifies
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 18 – Zohran Mamdani pledged to discourage the phrase amid criticism, as hate crimes against Jews accounted for over 60% of incidents in early 2025, officials said.
- New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani told business leaders on Tuesday he would discourage the phrase 'globalize the intifada' but did not fully condemn it.
- Mamdani’s earlier refusal to condemn the phrase during his primary campaign and its association with violence against Jews sparked criticism and concern among voters and Jewish New Yorkers.
- During a private discussion with influential New York business leaders, Mamdani recognized why the phrase causes pain among Jewish communities and expressed his understanding of it as a call for Palestinian human rights.
- A recent survey indicates that over half of New York voters are less inclined to back Mamdani because of his views, while some business leaders express concern that his proposals to increase taxes on the wealthy and freeze rent for many tenants could negatively impact the city's economy.
- Mamdani’s shift in tone reflects his campaign effort to broaden appeal, including to Jewish voters, as he campaigns toward the general election facing Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo.

The late Rabbi…
Mamdani Trapped in the Left’s Tangled Web of Race and Gender
The Left’s latest darling, Zohran Mamdani, is ensnared in a web of their own making. Call it kismet. Actually, call it double-jeopardy, because Mamdani and the Left are more trapped in their weft and warp of race and gender definitions and privileges than they realize. Thanks to his inane policies and inflammatory statements, New York City Democratic mayoral nominee and Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani makes more headlines than a corduroy pil…
