VILE JEW-HATING Muslim Mayor of NYC slanders Israel again with a misleading, historically inaccurate video about the so-called “Nakba (Catastrophe) Day”

Jewish organizations and elected officials criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after his office released a “Nakba Day” video that they said omitted key historical context surrounding Israel’s founding and promoted an anti-Israel narrative.
United with Israel The video, posted Friday by the mayor’s office, focused on so-called “Palestinian” displacement during the 1948 war surrounding the establishment of the State of Israel. It includes testimony from a “Palestinian” resident describing her family’s departure from Jerusalem and characterized the Nakba as an ongoing experience for Palestinians. Critics also said the video ignored the expulsion of Jewish populations from multiple Arab countries after Israel’s establishment.
The post drew immediate backlash from Jewish groups and pro-Israel lawmakers, who argued that the presentation failed to mention Arab military attacks following Israel’s declaration of independence, the rejection of the United Nations partition plan, and the displacement of Jewish communities across the Middle East. “Twenty-two Arab states launched a war to destroy Israel on May 15, 1948,” the UJA-Federation said, adding that the conflict also resulted in the expulsion of more than “800,000 Jewish refugees from Arab nations across the region.”
The controversy unfolded as demonstrations marking “Nakba Day” took place in Manhattan. Protesters marched through the streets carrying Hezbollah flags and chanting slogans calling for the destruction of Israel.
