But he does call for release of Hamas terrorists.
Zohran Mamdani responded to the Oct 7 massacres by blaming Israel and protesting outside Schumer’s home. Getting him to distance himself from calls to ‘globalize the intifada’, like the Muslim terrorist who set elderly Jewish women on fire in Boulder, was like pulling teeth. Meeting with his Jewish leftist allies, he clearly got this pre-scripted speech on how to respond to question about the conflict, emphasizing attacks on Israel, balanced with a call to free the hostages (which, tellingly, he neither describes as Jewish or Israeli) and no mentions of Hamas.
This playbook (mention the hostages, call for their release, attack Israel, lie about atrocities, don’t mention Hamas) is generally the one that a lot of Democrats are following. But it doesn’t hold up when Mamdani is asked about Hamas.
A woman asked Mamdani to condemn Hamas as a violent terrorist group. Mamdani responded with what is very obviously a pre-rehearsed word salad hitting all the above talking points, without making any mention of Hamas, but repeatedly condemning Israel, and claiming that all New Yorkers hate the Jewish State too.
He also pushed the Hamas ‘all for all’ approach, while attributing it to the hostages, which means releasing all the Hamas terrorists, including those which took part in the massacres of Oct 7.

Of course he won’t condemn his brothers…he’s tight with them. He’s getting what he wants without having to say he condemns when he doesn’t condemn. What…..he’s expected to lie??
mike says
Mamdani will roll out more Islam practice
like the sound to prayer 5 times a day
starting at 5 AM
people of NYC your welcomed this on your selves
Rick Gordon says
Cuomo ought to receive 100% of New York voters who are Jewish. Of course, he won’t as too many are wedded to far-left tickets – too bad – as their future will be in doubt.
Walter Sieruk says
Zohran Mamdani has refused the condemn or even denounce Hamas reveals his vicious jihadist mentality
Furthermore hat possible soon to be, mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani is very anti-Jewish and likewise anti- Israel So much so that before he had decided to run for mayor, he had declared that he wanted to “Globalize the Intifada “To this very day he has not denounced or retracted that statement. Likewise, he had earlier said, “Israel should not exist.”
Mamdani also wants the police to top responding to crimes committed by Muslims.
The reader may be sure that most of those Muslim’s who engage in crimes of malicious actions are committed against the Jewish people of NYC.
In addition, Mamdani is member of a mosque that called for the annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel. After all, Islam is very ant-Jewish and therefore anti- Israel.
The former US President, William Howard Taft had, wisely, declared in a speech “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cur out. It has no place in America.”
Therefore, that dangerous anti- Jewish Muslim, Mamdani, is, in essence, therefore very un-American.
As the former US President, Theodore Roosevelt, had well-spoken when he declared in a speech “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is only room here for only hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Walter Sieruk says
Zohran Mamdani had refused the condemn or even denounce Hamas reveals his vicious Islamic mindset.
Earlier, Mamdani had declared the one of his goals for Islam is to “Globalize the Intifada,” That’s one of his reason why he refuses to condemn or denounce worldwide, international , Muslim terrorism. Mamdani, would not, naturally, want to have the Muslims of the city who voted for him to become digested with him.
Related to this subject is one concept that many Americans just don’t understand that term used, which is “political Islam.” That term is nonsensical and redundant as well as unknown in the Islamic world.
First, that term being nonsensical one devout Muslim who, truly, proclaimed “Islam is Islam.”
Second. as for that term being redundant, has been well explained by none other Ayatollah Khomeini who declared” All Islam is politics.” [1]

James Lincoln says
If Mamdani gets in, New York City is doomed.
The only thing that the Trump Administration can do is to hold back federal money.
somehistory says
Companies and organizations can hold all conventions in other places….where no muzzies rule, James.
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
I know that major medical associations are already avoiding San Francisco.
somehistory says
Just saw a news item about that….$18 billion being withheld from NYC by Trump Admin.
jerry glenn says
It seems certain that he will be elected. And he will cause significant damage. We must steadfastly refuse to bail the city out.
OLD GUY says
When NY falls to Mamdani, it won’t be long before Chicago, SanFrancisco and even Washington fall to the Islamic rulers. This Mamdani is just the vary tip of the islamic sword.
somehistory says
the mayor of Chicago already seems to be in that mode….doing all he can to damage things.
