Sen. Gillibrand Pressures Mamdani to Disavow ‘Intifada’ Rhetoric Amid Mayoral Bid
NEW YORK CITY, JUN 26 – Senator Gillibrand demands Mamdani reject the phrase linked to past violence amid rising antisemitism and calls his refusal a risk to New York's Jewish community, which saw a surge in attacks.
- Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called on Zohran Mamdani, the recent Democratic mayoral primary winner, to denounce his past comments supporting the slogan 'globalize the intifada'.
- Gillibrand's demand follows Mamdani's refusal to condemn the phrase, which she said many Jewish New Yorkers interpret as promoting violence against Jews and destruction of Israel.
- Mamdani described the slogan as an expression of urgent demand for equal rights and support for Palestinian human rights, while Gillibrand emphasized that, as the leader of a city with eight million residents and the largest Jewish community in the U.S., he should reject it.
- Gillibrand emphasized that the term "Global Intifada" carries deeply troubling connotations of violence and destruction, and she cautioned that not condemning this phrase fosters fear within Jewish communities.
- Gillibrand said if Mamdani is elected mayor, he must assure protection for all New Yorkers, including Jews, and uphold funding for not-for-profits serving diverse communities, highlighting ongoing tensions amid his progressive platform.
