The leftist elites do not have to adhere to the code that they demand everyone else follow. The laws do not apply to them. They are the vanguard of the vanguard, the leaders of the revolution for justice and equity — and that status gives them special privileges.
“Rama Duwaji failed to send $2,000 raised from T-shirt benefit to Palestine charity,” by Isabel Vincent, New York Post, July 23, 2026:
Rama Duwaji promised to donate the profits from a T-shirt she designed to help a grassroots Gaza charity — but never sent the $2,000 raised, The Post has learned.
A year after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist strikes on Israel, New York City’s now-first lady designed shirts to benefit Dahnoun Mutual Aid, a group based in Gaza that provides essential services to displaced Palestinians, according to its social media posts.
The $47 T-shirts — which featured a drawing of a bird on top of a woman’s head with the Arabic phrase “Khair Ya Tair” (“Good news, oh bird!”) — were sold on Everpress, a London-based platform that worked with charities to sell items for fundraising.
Duwaji pledged 100% of the profits from the shirts, which were advertised on her Instagram account and raised about $2,000, a source told The Post. That money went into “a creator” account at the company, the source said.
The Post is told that Everpress appealed several times to Duwaji to send her banking information so that they could wire her the cash, which she then was required to send to the charity.
“That’s the way it’s supposed to work,” said the source, adding that the platform, which shut down in May, routinely worked with large charities such as War Child and UNICEF. “Everpress took in the funds for the creator [then] sent the money to the creator for the charity.”
The source said that the team at Everpress repeatedly reached out to Duwaji on her personal email account and via Instagram, but she did not respond and the $2,000 stayed in the account….

It’s impossible to have a genuine “Palestinian charity” because in reality the is really no such thing as a “Palestinian people.” Such a ethic group or race of people as the “Palestinians” simply does not exist. The very idea of a “Palestinian people” is both a faction and a modern myth.
To put this in another more detailed way, the reasons why there is really no ethnic or race of people who may be , rightly called the “ Palestinians” or is that just a hijacked term that the Arabs of the area in the Middle East now exclusively only to themselves without valid genuine proof that such a term is actually fitting for them.
Many reliable scholars and historians on Israel and the entire Middle East have ,rightly, answered that question. Two of them had together have compiled a book on this subject and had revealed, “The Palestinian leadership has repeatedly sought to legitimize their right to the land, by claiming it belongs to them and not the Jews. One of their BIG lies is that the land was always referred to as Palestine. Historically, this is inaccurate ! There has never been a Palestinian state in the history of the world.”
The authors further explain that “The Roman Emperor Hadrian , following the second Jewish revolt led by Simon Kochba , changed the name of Israel to Syria Palestina which he took from the Hebrew word Pelesheth, which we know as Philistia . Why ? Because the Jews hated the Philistines and this was a slap in the face to them.”
Those writers also added that “”What difference does this make ? …. “ They then explained, because it gives the false impression that there was a land of Palestine in ancient times and perpetuates the lie that the Jews took away the Palestinian land.”
In conclusion, “Palestine’ is a man- made fiction therefore, there is no ethnic group or race of people who are real“ Palestinians.” Likewise, the “Palestinian flag is a fake” flag.”
By great contrast, Israel is an historic and Biblical reality, Psalm 135;4.
The book source is entitled Miracle of Israel by Gary Frazier and Jim Fletcher , pages 177,178 179.
Rod says
One hundred and fifty countries of the world have recognised the State of Palestine.
Google Maps will show you where it is.
And of course any Palestinian (there are millions of them, including those who have been driven out of their ancestral homelands by force), would be happy to help.
Sorry Walter, but reality seems to outweigh your quaint ideas.
Of course, there are folk who believe that Uganda doesn’t exist – it isn’t mentioned in the Bible, and God didn’t gift it to anybody as their homeland for eternity. How awkward.
Mobuyus says
Maybe 150 countries have virtue signaled themselves into a terrorist corner hoping the Crocodile of palistinian terror bypass’s them. But the highly educated big money states have not. They know an islamic Crocodile when they see one.
Rod says
Spain, Ireland, Norway, Armenia, Slovenia, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, and Andorra and many others have all recognised the State of Palestine.
And the Holy See.
All in the “terrorist corner”? What’s that? What on earth are you talking about?
Patton says
Not big on those Ten Commandments. I guess that’s just for the Dhimmis. The horrible Peoples of the “Book”. Lord I am so sick of these scum bag muzzies.
Joe1 says
It runs far deeper than that. The moral pivot in our society is love, but the moral pivot in Islam is power. In other words, if it is done for power in Islam, it is moral.

So Ms Duwaji did not “keep the $2000” at all.
In Mr Spencer’s words, the money went into the creator account, “and the $2000 stayed in the account”.
Not only is the allegation made untrue and defamatory, but it’s obvious that there is more to the story, which a competent informant would have made it his business to investigate.
Walter Sieruk says
There can’t a actual “Palestinian charity” because there never has been nor are there now any genuine ethnic or race of people who are the “Palestinians.”
In reality, they are the Arabs of the area of the Middle East. The idea that there are a distinct “Palestinian people’ is a modern fiction. Likewise the “Palestine flag is a fake flag.
Those Arab/Muslims who call themselves “Palestinians” have applied that term only for themselves in the hope of giving them some kind of “valid” claim on the land that is the State of Israel, in the view in the people of the other nations of this world.
In addition, about the origin of that word “Palestine”, history reveals that the ancient Philistines recorded in the Bible and history reveals the people who came from the Greek Islands and some parts of the mainland Greece and the Island of Crete They have no connection, at all, the to the Arab /Muslim of modern times who called themselves the “Palestinians.”
From those ancient people, the Philistines, the word “Palestine” .came into being.
There is no genuine ethic group or race who are the “Palestinians.”
Early in the last century a anyone living in that land, Arab or Jew, who lived in that land was called a ”Palestinian.”
Only after 1964 did the Arab/Muslims start to refer to themselves , exclusively , by the word “Palestinian.”
The reason for that is that they felt that by giving themselves that title they would appear to have some kind of valid claim on that land.

She must not have sold very many to have only made 2 thousand. (40?) As for breaking the law….she’s a scuzzy muzzie, so what else would one expect?
The authorities who should be interrogating her, probably won’t do so. But evil people do not escape entirely. She will reap from her evil ugly sowing.
And what normal person would want such as shirt? Even if the money was being raised for good and not to support islime. Did she get the idea from the Song of Sixpence?
Susan B Shulman says
What an entitled bitch!!!!! She and her hypocrital, lieing Scumbag of a husband should both be deported, ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
gravenimage says
Mamdani’s wife keeps the $2,000 she raised from t-shirt benefit for ‘Palestinian’ charity
……………………………………………….
Yes, this is disgusting. On the other hand, it’s going into her pocket is still probably better than it going to fund Jihad terror against Israel.
And does anyone know what the “good news, O bird” saying is all about?
Rod says
Well, if it “stayed in the account” of the creator, she didn’t keep the $2000 at all. In fact, it looks as though she never had the $2000, never even saw it.
Presumably, that is where it is now, and Ms Duwaji’s intentions remain unknown.
So let’s ask Mr Spencer to do his job properly, and find out for us, before making unwarranted allegations
Namer says
The truly amazing thing about this is that people are surprised that she kept the money.
Rod says
She didn’t keep the money. Read the story. She did not keep the money.
