Mamdani and other leftists are rushing to condemn Hamas, without, of course, acknowledging the indispensable role they have played in mainstreaming and normalizing the organization and laying the groundwork for the resurgence of antisemitism.
“Zohran Mamdani Calls Hamas A “Terrorist Organisation” Amid New York Protests,” NDTV, January 10, 2026:
New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani has condemned pro-Hamas chants during a heated protest outside a synagogue in Queens on Thursday night. The protest was led by the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation (PAL-Awda). A report by The New York Times (NYT) said that during the protest, pro-Palestinian demonstrators chanted in support of Hamas while pro-Israel demonstrators shouted racial and homophobic slurs. The protest included chants of “Say it loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here.”
On being asked about the protest and the slogans chanted, Mamdani told The NYT in a statement the rhetoric and displays that were seen at the protest were wrong and have no place in New York City.
“My team is in close touch with the N.Y.P.D. regarding last night’s protest and counterprotest,” the statement said. “We will continue to ensure New Yorkers’ safety entering and exiting houses of worship as well as the constitutional right to protest,” he added.
After he was criticised for not denouncing Hamas specifically, Mamdani said in a post on X early Saturday, “As I said earlier today, chants in support of a terrorist organization have no place in our city.”
“We will continue to ensure New Yorkers’ safety entering and exiting houses of worship as well as the constitutional right to protest,” the mayor added….

What has New York come to when it’s big news that its mayor finally called Hamas a terrorist organization?
somehistory says
So he didn’t specifically call hamas a ‘terrorist organization.’
“After he was criticised for not denouncing Hamas specifically, Mamdani said in a post on X early Saturday, “As I said earlier today, chants in support of a terrorist organization have no place in our city.””
He waffled. To actually call hamas a terrorist organization, he would need to say the words, ‘hamas is a terrorist organization.’

Mamdani wants to eat his cake from both sides I guess .
WPM says
Will he arrest people who try to interrupt a religious service at the temple? Interrupting and threating people who are in their house of worship at a service is against NYC law! Where any of the people who organized this in his administration ? Anyone who is Jewish if they attend religious services or not should have buyers remorse if they voted for this jihadist “appeaser ” if that all he is which I doubt! Of course I am not Jewish ,but I respect their faith and I know this jihadist hates Jews ,Christians and anyone not Moslem they the non-Moslems are the worse of creatures nothing but cattle and apes in the view of Moslems.
E T says
Warning, he also joins Hitler, Stalin ……and speaks of the warmth of collectivism. What kind of people voted for him?

True, Somehistory.
Cynthia says
Still that’s a huge move from him. He’ll be hearing from his Muslim Brotherhood/Soros handlers soon for reprimand.
WPM says
He Mamdani is a member of the Moslem Brotherhood it was in the NYC voting guide in his Bio along with his “rap career” his education background and serving as a state assemble man representing his area in Queens.,
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Essentially, he’s only willing to act after an event, not do anything that would actually protect Jews or any other targets of jihadists or commies
How can he condemn Hamas? He wouldn’t want to be identified as being pro-Fatah, would he? Far less being in the pockets of the Jooooooooooooooos!
WPM says
With ring cameras ,and other equipment will the new grand sultan mayor of NYC try to arrest these people who openly threaten people attend a peaceful religious service in their house of worship ???

Turns out it’s mamdani’s people – the Shi’a socialists – who are the genocidal baby killers now raging on the streets of iran.

Take another dictator down
Frank Anderson says
Basic Islamic teaching according to Robert Spencer and every other source I have read in more than 30 books: LYING whenever advantage can be obtained is ENCOURGED. He and all other Muslims will say anything to confuse and mislead their enemies.
ploome says
exactly
ORRN31 says
He had his fingers crossed.

Quote from X
“Guys, something is happening.
All the pro-Islam Democrats are all the sudden, in unison, posting pro-Judaism and anti-Hamas posts, after their followers have been screaming “free Palestine” all day every day for years.
They are getting in front of something.“
Yes, I think so too. Let’s hope President Trump is about to reveal devastating red for Islamist Mamdani
WPM says
He was pretty transparent when he was running for mayor the democratic party and the MSM covered over his on line post and repeated with anti-Israel anti-Jewish and anti-capitalist posts .Hay he promised free buses ,child care and wide spread rent control so what not to love right! If you love capitalism with all its faults ,if you love to own your own private property ,if you do not want to be just a cog in the communist collective why would you vote for this 33 year old BS salesman ?He is part and parcel of the red green alliance ,of communism and Islam .He will pick one or the other if he is given enough power neither is good for NYC or America. Look at his picks to run different agencies jihadist who want to blame the Jooos for everything or communist who want to steal your house for the collected good.
OLD GUY says
Nothing worse than a slick slimy politician.
ploome says
a muslim slick slimy politician.?
Huh?!? says
He is pandering to the infidel voters. A snake oil salesman. I give it two years before the cracks get so numerous and deep in NYC, economically and culturally, that real New Yorkers want out.
WPM says
I give it 10 months ,this summer of 2026 in NYC will make the summer of 2020 look peaceful .The lunatics are in full go mood with idiotic people appointed by the the new grand sultan of the New Yorkastan city in charge .
