Zohran Mamdani says Israel is ‘not a country’ in resurfaced video

New York Democratic City candidate Zahran Mamdani raises the eyebrows again, and this time on the clip of his appearance in which he says, “Israel is not a place, it is not a country.”

Mamdani, who is a democratic candidate for the city’s mayor with the highest Jewish population in the United States, was criticized for his position against Israel and refused to condemn the phrase “globalization of the uprising”, which is widely considered a call to violence against the Jews.

Now it is criticized because of the statements made during a discussion seminar on the solidarity of the Palestinians in January 2024 on the support of American politicians of the State of Israel.

Mamdani made statements at the December 2023 committee for “Hana and everywhere”, the Riferside Church in New York City recorded.

During the committee, Mamdani referred to the pro -Israel movement in America as “a political apparatus that is still good and very strong, but it has become more and more separate from public feelings.”

American politicians criticized their support for the Israel war against Gaza, saying: “This talks about the fact that … for many people, Israel is not a place, it is not a country. It is an idea.

“You see that in the answers of many politicians to questions about Israel … their answers were written about 20 or 30 years ago. They speak to a fact that is not present.”

Mamdani also criticized the idea that Israel and Palestine could exist as separate political entities.

“they [American politicians] He pledged to the idea of a two -state solution, regardless of the fact that the second state of the Palestinians is physically impossible because it is not even a adjacent plot at this moment between the place where the Palestinians live. Therefore, everyone tells us that there is this separation. “

He also went on to say that there is “fear between the political class throughout this country from the rising speech seeks to question this agreement.”

Its history dates back to the days of his university studies, and Mamdani has expressed his support for boycotting, disposal of sanctions and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, which describes Watch as “an international campaign to nullify the state from Israel and the government of the government’s right, legal meeting, legal piety, judicial government, and legal piety.”

In another video clip from Mamdani, who recently appeared in 2021, the candidate highlighted his commitment to BDS.

“I think there is nothing very unusual so that it cannot stand against the brutality of the occupation and the racial chapter,” he said. “Thus, as you know, if it is a shipping container or if it is a university that has been funded, or a university that helped develop the IDF weapons technology, or it happened with an Israeli ambassador, whatever it might be, I think we must offer what appears to be solidarity.”
