Mamdani’s Father Sits on Council of Anti-Israel Group Tied to Terror, Legitimizes Role of Suicide Bombers

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – Mahmood Mamdani's 2004 book passage on suicide bombing has drawn criticism amid his son's NYC mayoral run, highlighting links to pro-Palestinian activism and sparking political debate.

  • On July 10, Tandler shared a book excerpt where Mamdani defends suicide bombers as soldiers, linking it to his campaign controversy.
  • Stemming from his advisory role, Mahmood Mamdani supports BDS and has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers, fueling controversy during Zohran Mamdani's campaign.
  • In the excerpt, Mamdani describes suicide bombers as 'soldiers' and argues they should be understood as 'a feature of modern political violence' from his 2004 book, highlighting controversial defenses of terrorism.
  • In response, Jewish groups and donors like Ackman criticize Mamdani's father's remarks, urging rejection of his mayoral bid over alleged sympathies for terrorism.
  • With the November 4 mayoral election approaching, scrutiny over Mamdani's controversial family ties could influence voter sentiment and campaign strategies against Adams and Cuomo.
