Dem mayoral candidate in major American city linked to rabid anti-Israel activism: report

The report stated that Mamdani joined protests against Israel just days after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack that killed 1,200 Israelis.  

According to Canary Mission, Mamdani "didn't stumble into anti-Israel activism-he was raised in it." The report details how Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Muslim-Indian parents Mahmood Mamdani and Mira Nair, both of whom are also outspoken anti-Israel activists.

According to the report, in a recent course titled "Settlers and Natives," Mahmood promoted the concept of "the necessity of violence in anticolonial struggle."

The report also said that Mahmood was one of the Columbia faculty members who donned an orange vest and locked arms in attempts to keep Avi Weinberg, an economics student at Columbia, and a small group of Jewish classmates from entering a pro-Palestine encampment on Columbia's campus.  

Faculty refused to answer when asked why the students were not being let on the lawn. Members of the crowd suggested it was unfair that faculty were determining who could and could not go into the area, when it is part of the university campus they pay to attend. 

Both of Mamdani's parents are supportive of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which encourages economic pressure against the state of Israel for its alleged "genocide" against Palestinians.

Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's office for comment but received no response by publication deadline.
