The Democrat nominee to be the next mayor of New York City has had a years-long and close affiliation with Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour, whose views on Israel have stirred years of controversy and accusations of anti-Zionism.
Zohran Mamdani’s relationship with Sarsour went largely unremarked during the primary race for City Hall even though he campaigned alongside her, and she called him her “friend.”
A Just the News review found that Mamdani embraced a nearly decade-long association with Sarsour as he rose from an activist to New York State assemblyman and now the Democrat Party’s nominee to run America’s largest city. Their views on the Jewish state, law enforcement, and far-left policies have been closely aligned.
“Peace can only begin by ending the occupation and dismantling apartheid,” Mamdani said of Israel the day after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas atrocities inflicted on Israel.
Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Indian-American Muslim who is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday in the ranked-choice primary race to be the next mayor of NYC.
