Among Democrats, honesty is a relative term. Their candidates usually hide what they believe and trust to the party faithful to explain things for them. Zohran Mamdani appears to be the exception, being a thorough scoundrel but a candidate whose words can be taken literally. His victory would result in a lawless city, a place that no one would want to call home. Mamdani is the Democratic Party’s candidate for the mayoralty of New York City. He’s more than likely to be elected in November by the liberal elite and the ignorant of the city, who are interchangeable. Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist, which means he favors defunding the police, establishing city-run grocery stores, freezing rents, and making the subways a free service. He says things that Bernie Sanders would love to say but won’t. We should remember the axiom that free people are unequal and equal people aren’t free. Asked whether billionaires have the right to exist, Mamdani said, “I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.” In other words, he believes that billionaires shouldn’t exist because they represent the outcome he opposes for equality among the people. Or at least some people. According to Mamdani’s campaign website, he wants to shift the tax burden so that whites are taxed more than other races. The website explains that he wants to shift the city’s tax burden, “to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.” That, of course is hilariously unconstitutional and, obviously, precisely racist. You can’t tax people at higher or lower rates based on their race. It’s common for the media and the Dems to say that Republicans are racist, but here’s an undeniable proof that a Democratic candidate is. Mamdani should be declared a racist at every step of his campaign. Despite his racism, he can still win in New York. That’s because of his fashionable anti-Semitism. The phrase “globalize the intifada” is defined as a call to kill and injure Jews. Mamdani denies that he uses that term but has, in the past, defended it as a “desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.” Mamdani has compared the phrase “globalize the intifada” to Jews being released from Nazi death camps. The illogic of that statement is breathtaking. That is a completely dishonest characterization of the words. He has, then, defended violence against Jews as a defense of “Palestinian human rights.” That is apparently one of his core beliefs. He often accuses Israel of being an “apartheid” state which, given the Arab — even Palestinian Arab — presence in the Israeli Defense Forces, is a complete lie. (One need not take my word for it. You can easily look up the fact that Arabs — Muslim Arabs — are welcomed into the IDF and Israel’s parliament. Mamdani is apparently confused about his own origins. In an application to Columbia University when he was a high school senior, according to the New York Times, he said he was “black” and “Ugandan” in order to gain a step on other less “diverse” applicants. He was born in Uganda but has no ancestry there. Both of Mamdani’s parents are of Indian origin. His mother, a film maker, owns a $2 million home in New York City. His father is a Columbia professor. Together their net worth is between $2 million and $10 million. Mamdani reportedly owns a lot in Uganda valued at about $200,000. Coupled with his elite education, Mamdani is a cliché of the wealthy elitist candidate loudly promoting socialism and the redistribution of wealth. As listed in an article in the Jerusalem Post, Mamdani has: Refused to condemn the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023; A failed rapper, he has starred in music videos praising the “Holy Land Five,” all convicted Hamas funders; Attacked Israel and the U.S. for trying to stop Iran from making nuclear weapons; Supported legislation that would deprive Jewish nonprofits of their tax-exempt status; Said he wouldn’t send New York police to protect Jews from harassment on college campuses; and Built his political career on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement which demands, as the name implies, a political campaign to bar Israel from the community of nations. Mamdani has also reportedly threatened to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York. In short, Mamdani is an anti-Semite who would use the power of the mayoralty against Jews. The mayoralty race in New York is entirely confused. The current mayor, Eric Adams, is both foolish and corrupt. Mamdani defeated him and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the city’s primary election. One or both will probably run as independents. The only Republican running against him, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, has no chance to defeat Mamdani. There’s an excellent chance for Mamdani to win the mayor’s race. If he does there should be an exodus of businesses, perhaps even Wall Street, as well as Jews from the city. His victory would result in a lawless city, a place that no one would want to call home.
