The Democratic Socialists of America’s Big Apple chapter will push Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to implement a virulently anti-Israel agenda, leaked documents show.
Included in the NYC-DSA’s “Anti-War Working Group” list of a dozen “demands” for the incoming mayor is an end to all city contracts with companies doing business with Israel, and withdrawing all funds from banks lending money to the Jewish state, according to a planning document first exposed by Just The News.
The five-page screed was distributed at the group’s Nov. 2 public meeting, and reveals the DSA’s NYC chapter has been plotting since at least late September on how to best to ensure the pro-Palestine, Israel-hating Mamdani fully supports its anti-Israel agenda once he’s sworn in as mayor in January — and doesn’t buckle to political pressure.
“Well at least the DSA mask is off,” said state Assemblyman Kalman Yeger, a conservative Brooklyn Democrat and Orthodox Jew. “This was never about affordability, free buses or anything else. This was always about Jew hatred.
“With every municipal issue facing New York City’s government, the DSA doesn’t care about the state of our schools, streets, parks, subways, city budget or anything else. They care about Israel — Israel and only Israel.
“At least now they can stop trying to deny their antisemitism; most New Yorkers aren’t stupid,” said Yeger.
Mamdani — a longtime supporter of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement whose father Mahmood Mamdani sits on advisory group that routinely accuses the Jewish state of committing “genocide” – condemned antisemitism on the campaign trail while meeting with some Jewish leaders to drum up political support.
Alicia Singham Goodwin, niece of the China-based Marxist tycoon Neville “Roy” Singham, serves as political director of lefty nonprofit Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, which launched a “Jews for Zohran” campaign in January— giving the Israel-bashing Mamdani cover from antisemitism accusations, The Post reported in July.
However, he’s refused to budge on his longtime stance that Israel shouldn’t exist as a Jewish state or condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” that calls for the destruction of Israel.Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn) said she expects “Comrade Zohran” to be nothing more than a “radical DSA puppet” after seeing the DSA papers.
