Mamdani’s Racism Isn’t Subtle — It’s Loud, Proud, and Dangerous
Kevin McCullough
You have to give New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani one thing—he doesn’t hide it very well. His racism, his antisemitism, and his radical leftist extremism aren’t whispered in smoky back rooms. No, he says them out loud, with a straight face, into microphones, and on national television. The only time he pretends not to mean them is when the public backlash finally reaches his well-manicured ears.
This week, Mamdani sat across from NBC’s Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" and was asked—over and over—whether he condemned the phrase “globalize the intifada,” a rallying cry from anti-Israel, often antisemitic extremists around the world. And like every coward who knows the truth would get him disqualified from polite society, let alone public office, he bobbed, weaved, deflected, and flat-out refused to give a straight answer.
Welker—hardly anyone’s idea of a conservative hardliner—pressed him again and again. His response? A word salad of disingenuous nonsense about “liberation” and “context,” without ever acknowledging what every rational person watching already knows: globalize the intifada means spreading violent, armed insurrection against Jews and the state of Israel—period.
Let’s not play stupid. The word intifada isn’t complicated. It’s not poetry. It’s not ambiguous. It refers directly to two bloody waves of Palestinian terrorism—the First and Second Intifadas—that murdered thousands of innocent Israeli civilians in cafes, buses, markets, homes, and schools. Suicide bombings. Rocket fire. Stabbings. Children blown apart. That’s the historical, factual, undeniable meaning of intifada.
