Mamdani Discourages 'Globalize the Intifada'; Scrutiny Intensifies

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 18 – Zohran Mamdani pledged to discourage the phrase amid criticism, as hate crimes against Jews accounted for over 60% of incidents in early 2025, officials said.

  • Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani pledged to discourage the phrase `globalize the intifada`, the New York Times reported late Tuesday, during a meeting at the Partnership for New York City.
  • Last month, Mamdani declined to condemn the phrase, defending it as protest against occupation, despite critics labeling it violent.
  • A recent poll found one in three New York voters support his stance, but over half are less likely to vote for him, and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla challenged him on Israel issues.
  • Opponents in the general election cite his comments as antisemitic, and Mamdani responded by saying `it’s "not the language I use"`, defending his stance.
  • Several Democrats have urged him to disavow the slogan, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer remain uncommitted, amid broader party pressure.
