Having helped propel him to victory, the DSA now appears eager to collect on its investment.A leaked document from a November 2 meeting of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America reveals a series of extreme anti-Israel demands the group is preparing to press Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to adopt. Having helped propel him to victory, the DSA now appears eager to collect on its investment.
Although Mamdani is a long-time member of the DSA who clearly aligns with its anti-Israeli agenda, members are clearly worried he might yield to political pressure once he takes office.
Just the News’ Jerry Dunleavy obtained an internal Anti-War Working Group document that details what the DSA plans to demand of Mamdani.
Dunleavy reported he accessed the document by responding, under his real name, to a DSA announcement of the meeting that was listed as open to the public. He was “sent a Zoom link to join, and a Google document containing the AWWG strategy document.”
The document, titled AWWG Palestine Policy Meeting Meeting Agenda & Notes, lists the following demands:
• Divest City pension funds from Israeli bonds and securities
• Withdraw City funds from banks that lend money to Israel or do business in Israel End City contracts with companies that do business with Israel
• Operate City-run grocery stores free from Israeli products
• Investigate real estate agents hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from the NYC Metro Area
• Remove non-profit status from charities that raise funds for IDF
• Divest CUNY endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors
• Dismantle Eric Adam’s NYC-Israel economic council
• End NYPD training with IOF [Critics of Israel often refer to IDF as IOF or Israel Occupying Forces]
• End repression of demonstrators and the SRG
• Arrest Netanyahu and active IDF soldiers for war crimes
These demands perfectly reflect the DSA’s broader national agenda. The DSA’s foreign policy section begins with its position on Palestine:
Free Palestine. An immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to military and economic aid, and weapons sales to Israel, respect of the authority of the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, and national sovereignty for the Palestinian people.
