Zohran Mamdani’s historic campaign for New York mayor marks a significant moment for Jewish identity as more Jews distance themselves from Zionism. This will be a fierce generational fight with wide-reaching effects on American politics.
The shocking arrest of British pundit and Israel critic Sami Hamdi is yet another example of how far-right commentators wield influence in the Trump administration.
In taking a stance against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its Zionist underpinnings while running for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani is situating himself within a historical lineage of anti-Zionism in the city that goes back over a century.
Bernie Sanders’s recent resolutions blocking weapons to Israel failed, but analysts say they suggest that Palestine will serve as a litmus test in the Democratic Party going forward.
Democratic lawmakers are pressuring Trump as a new Gallup poll shows that just 32% of Americans back Israel’s actions in Gaza, an all-time low.
Zohran Mamdani will need the Jewish establishment to become New York mayor, and liberal Zionists are paving the way. Although this means there will be Zionists in City Hall, they will be playing by new rules set by ascendant pro-Palestine Democrats.
Rep. Jerry Nadler built a career as a staunch opponent of BDS, but now his endorsement of Zohran Mamdani has left pro-Israel leaders feeling betrayed. It is just another sign of the sea change taking place among Democrats on Palestine.
In response to Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win, the mainstream media is finally beginning to acknowledge that Democratic voters have turned on Israel.
The New York Times’s shocking race-science investigation into Zohran Mamdani shows the paper will stop at nothing to upend the progressive star. It is a clear sign of how the paper is stuck in the worst muck of the Israel lobby.
