The progressive intifada invades New York

For me, a native New Yorker, watching the Democratic Party nominate a socialist jihadi apologist for mayor less than 25 years after 9/11 is infuriating. Not because Zohran Mamdani is a Muslim, but because he embraces “globalizing the intifada,” a violent, terroristic slogan aimed at his Jewish neighbors — in a city where they have increasingly been targeted.

There’s no need to soft-pedal what’s happening. Even as national media worked to moderate the candidate’s image, Mamdani was campaigning with popular leftist Twitcher and Jew-baiter Hasan Piker, who once said, “America deserved 9/11.” In 1984, it was a scandal that Jesse Jackson called New York “Hymietown.” By today’s standards, it seems frivolous.
