Zohran Mamdani has described how, at the dinner table, his views were formed in long discussions about politics and society with his father, Mahmood Mamdani, who is a professor of government at Columbia University. Mahmood Mamdani has described suicide bombers as worthy to be considered as “soldiers.” He has been a supporter of the anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divest, and Sanction) movement that hopes to so damage Israel’s economy that the Jewish state will have to submit to territorial demands by its Arab enemies, including the terror group Hamas.

Mahmood Mamdani, the father of socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, sits on the advisory council of an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts and sanctions of Israel, routinely accuses the Israeli government of committing “genocide”, and has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers.
The Gaza Tribunal, founded in London in 2024, says its primary goal is “to awaken civil society to its responsibility and opportunity to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” according to its website.
Also on its website, Mahmood Mamdani is listed as a member of the group’s “advisory policy council” and is mentioned as having attended the group’s official launch in London last year.
Richard Falk, the president of the tribunal, outlined the group’s support of BDS in an online post saying, “the aim of the Tribunal is or [sic] legitimize and encourage civil society solidarity initiatives around the world such as BDS.”
BDS is described as “an international campaign to delegitimize the State of Israel as the expression of the Jewish people’s right to national self-determination by isolating the country economically through consumer boycotts, business and government withdrawal of investment, and legal sanctions,” according to Influence Watch.
Zohran Mamdani has also promoted BDS as recently as May, when he declined to say whether Israel has a right to exist and said his support of BDS “is consistent with my core of my politics, which is non-violence.”
