The cousin of the firefighter, who died on September 11, took a blocked gap in the candidate of the mayor of New York City, Zahran Mamdani, during a anniversary ceremony on Thursday in Manhattan for refusing to condemn the slogan “Intifada”.

Mike Winstein, 61, honored his cousin, Stephen Bilson, a veteran firefighter who lost his life while working to save the people who were cut off in the southern tower of the World Trade Center.

Winstein called on all politicians to abandon terrorism and violence, and they said that they “call September 11” if they refuse to do so and choose not to condemn phrases such as “the secular to the uprising.”

“I know that my cousin Steve and many, many others agree with me when I say, let’s continue to pressure all politicians, including those who have already gone home, to abandon terrorism and violence.” “When political candidates and public officials refuse to condemn terrorism and global phrases such as” the globalization of the uprising, “they call September 11, God forbid, and they continue to bring the daily fear of all New York residents.”

“Enough. Enough is enough,” continued. “After twenty-four years, we need all political candidates, including every possible future mayor-and you know who I am talking about-about this great city to speak against terrorism and unify them as loved in New York. God bless America, the land of the free and the country of courage.”

The “faithful secular” is a hostile slogan of Zionism that calls for international support for Palestinian resistance against Israel, which has been criticized as a call to violence against Israelis and Jews.

Mamdani refused to condemn the phrase throughout his campaign to nominate the mayor of the Democratic Party, which he obtained in June, although he confirmed again earlier this week that he “discourages” that language.

He suggested that his position had turned after speaking with Jewish leaders and learning about the gap between the intention of the slogan and its harmful impact on many Jewish population of New York.

Mamdani said earlier this summer that the phrase shows “a desperate desire for equality and equality in rights to defend Palestinian human rights”, but later clarified amid a violent reaction that it is “not a language I use.”

Mamdani said during his appearance on NBC: “The language I use and the language that I will continue to use to lead this city is the language that clearly talks about my intention, and it is an intention based on a belief in comprehensive human rights.”
