The goal of the various BDS initiatives is to strangle Israel economically and impoverish the Jews so that they can be more easily destroyed. The National Socialists did this as well.
“Zohran Mamdani says he’d keep NYC out of Israel Bonds investment if elected mayor,” Times of Israel, September 8, 2025:
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, has said that if elected, he will oppose restoring the city’s historic investments in Israel Bonds.
The city’s investments in Israel Bonds — totaling some $39 million as of January 2022 — were not renewed when they matured in 2023. The decision was made by Mamdani’s ally, city comptroller Brad Lander, who cited a general policy of avoiding debt to foreign governments, saying Israel had been an exception and was now being treated in accordance with the rule.
In an interview with CBS New York broadcast Sunday, Mamdani stopped short of calling to divest from Israeli businesses, though he did not explicitly reject the position, either, saying the city should focus on where it is “directly implicated” in violations of international law.
“And in the city pension fund, purchasing Israel Bonds, that, to me, is something that is a clear indication of our values — and we know that our values are actually with international law,” he said.
In a July letter to New York Mayor Eric Adams, Lander said that as of May 2025, the city’s public pension systems held more than $315 million in Israeli assets other than Israel Bonds, mostly common stocks.
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, has alarmed much of the New York business and Jewish communities as well as some within the Democratic Party with his left-wing and anti-Israel views. Election Day is November 4….
Rick Gordon says
It’s inconceivable to me that any New Yorker of the Jewish faith – or anyone who purports to support the US Constitution – would vote for Mamdani If he wins the mayoral election in NYC there will be joy in Dearborn, Minneapolis, Iran, Yemen, and Quatar.
Dave P says
Converting all bonds to Sharia compliance is more than likely

That would be “Sukuk”–Bonds are un-Islamic. Anyone investing in Sukuk has to be Muslim, and essentially go into ownerships of some asset with Muslims. For instance, a shipment of slaves.
Payl says
Let’s be fair here. Most Jews polled support Mandani the Muslim over the other candidates. So let them have him and let them feel it.
I support Israel but if they don’t support it themselves to protect themselves I mean what the hell can we do ?? I went to New York City a few months ago, and it seems like a hopeless battle to speak to them unless they’re wearing a hat..
The younger women are hyper-Hamas supporters. Don’t believe me, just go on YouTube it is mind boggling and I’m questioning my own support for Israel having gone to nyc and seeing what they themselves have deluded themselves into. They’re like the servants of the Muslims. It is some brainwash bullying power play the Muslim students are dominating the situations by their victimhood.
Daniel Bielak says
The Jewish people in Israel benefit from your support. And supporting Israel is the right, moral, ethical thing to do.

Agreed, Daniel.
Daniel Bielak says
Thank you, gravenimage.

Mamdani says that as mayor, he will oppose restoring New York City’s investments in Israel Bonds
…………………………………………………….
Well, of course not–despite Israel Bonds having an excellent return rate of 5.60%. Compare this to US Bonds wth a returrn rate of under 4%. Israel Bonds are also very safe. But Mamdani hates Jews more than he cares about the people of NYC, including other Muslims.
tgusa says
A majority of people in NYC are going to elect this guy. Islam and socialism. Number one and number two on the list of the worlds most murderous and destructive ideologies. That should tell you all you need to know about the majority of people in NYC. It is disgusting that NYC will have a remembrance ceremony for the victims of 9-11 that saw 3000 people murdered.

When anti-western leftists riot neighborhoods burn. When western patriots riot continents burn. Western people are extremely peaceful until they are not.
Michael Paul Skok says
We will remember the 3000 who died. But we won’t remember those who killed them, will we Robert?
commonsense says
Exactly. The words “Islam” and “Muslims” are studiously avoided, with “extremists” or, even less commonly, “radical Islamists” used instead, albeit with reluctance. And the religious basis for the 9-11 attacks is marginalized, often not even acknowledged. My grandson told me that his high school teacher attributed the attacks to a “hatred of capitalism.” Since 9-11, the Muslim population here in the USA has at least doubled, with jihadi Muslims in Congress, local government, the judiciary, law enforcement, and of course academia. We have, it seems, learned nothing from 9-11. Nothing.
abu taleb says
I would say he is an Islamist, not a socialist. Islam and socialism only share the view on how abuse power to oppress people for the power holders..

Taqiyya
Jerry says
Iscommulist is the way it is spelled.
gravenimage says
Yes–he is just posing as a socialist to impose Islam.
LibertyORdeath says
RIP Charlie Kirk.
The time for debate is OVER
Tony says
This is Islam. Allah teaches and promotes terrorism, hatred, and violence by Muslims against Jews and Christians because Infidelity, Unbelief, and Blasphemy against Islam are a CRIME AGAINST ALLAH(Quran 5:51, 82; 9:29; 60:4; 98:6-7; 49:14-15; etc.).
EVERY Muslim prayer begins with Quran 1:1-, cursing Jews and Christians 15+ times a day. Demonic Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” See also Quran 2:63-65; 3:115; 4:144; 5:59-60, 82; 7:166; 48:29; 98:6-7. Moreover, Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”. Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims because they DO NOT ACCEPT Islam to become Muslims(Quran 7:18; 11:119; 32:13, 35:8, etc.). Thus, Muslims grow up with a sense of entitlement, power, superiority, and acceptance of violence.

Thoughts on the death of Charlie Kirk [by The Kiffness]

Thoughts on Charlie Kirk. Israel did it! Also, I found a turd in my clogged up toilet and Israel did that too! Netanyahu must pay reparations to my plumber. Those Jews carry big turds !
Troybeam says
I live in a community that is primarily democrats, some are New Yorkers. The hatred for President Trump is alive and well.
New Yorkers will vote anyone in including a Muslim, they will not hear his piped piper rhetoric or the fact he is a Muslim inserted to bring sharia law to the New York masses.
New Yorkers will vote for this person because they want to spite President Trump.
The hate of democrats became even more clear in the House of Representatives yesterday when a request for a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk who was assassinated was met with shouts of NO.
Let that sink in.
gravenimage says
Terrible. Charlie Kirk deserves a moment of silence even from those who may have disagreed with him on some matters.
Daniel Bielak says
Actually, there was a moment of silence without incident, thank goodness. The disruption by some Democrats began when, after that, one of the representatives asked for a prayer to be said.
OLD GUY says
Today is 9/11, who would have thought N.Y. would have a Muslim/Islamist as the Democratic candidate for Mayor of the city of New York. Or for that matter holding any public office anywhere in America.
New Yorkers what are you thinking?
Troybeam says
The Perelman Center Building in New York built next to the World Trade Center is a square building that looks like the mecca building, only uses glass instead of black glass. (2023)
This is a disgrace to all Americans who fought not to have the Ground Zero Mosque built.
Wake up America, Islam is here to conquer.
Winston 101 says
Islam declared war on the world when it came out of the Arabian peninsula in 632 A.D.
All lands belong to Allah, before, during and ever after muslim conquest.
Islam began its war on the West with the invasion of Spain in April of 711 A.D.
The West has forgotten that it is still at war with Islam. . .Islam has not forgotten.
As we remember today, September 11th, let us not forget Sept. 11-12,1683 A.D.
HAPPY JAN SOBIESKI DAY!
It was when the Viennese and Polish forces under Jan Sobieski battled, and stopped, the invading
muslim army at the gates of Vienna. It is my belief that this is why the date of Sept 11was chosen
by the hijackers. It was an answer to the insult of The Battle of Vienna and to remind the
West that Islam has not forgotten.
Going forward lets us not forget all our brave soldiers, be they military, like Jan Sobieski, or cultural,
like Charlie Kirk that fought and died in the battle we are in. The battle Islam declare on us back in the
7th Century.
Alkflaeda says
So now Mamdani has publicised the existence of Israel Bonds to those who may not have known about them, when he did not need to say anything about them, since there is no New York public money currently invested in them. May he congratulate himself often and very publicly on this topic, so that as many New Yorkers as possible get the chance to make an excellent investment.
