Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
Zohran Mamdani’s statement on the October 7th day of Jewish mourning makes it clear that Mamdani is an unmitigated, vile, relentless Jew-hater and hater of the Jewish State. Mamdani used October 7th – a day of mourning for Jews and others for the murder, rape and torture of 1,200 Jewish women, children and men – to blatantly and viciously lie about the Jewish State of Israel’s defensive actions in response to Hamas’ evil, monstrous acts. Mamdani’s lies about Israel would make Nazi Germany’s propagandist Goebbels proud!Mayor Jew-hating bigot Mamdani couldn’t even say the word “Jew” in his hateful statement. Mamdani only mentioned Hamas in one sentence (and understated the number of Jews that Hamas murdered) – and then spent seven sentences falsely condemning Israeli Jews. Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied that Israel commits genocide, when in fact Israel did everything humanly possible to avoid civilian casualties, including issuing multiple warnings to Arabs to leave combat zones; humanitarian pauses; and providing massive amounts of food and other humanitarian supplies, including polio vaccines. The result was that the ratio of civilian-to-combatant casualties was the smallest in the history of war, and Gaza’s population increased by 50,000 during the war. The party committing genocide was and is Hamas and its fellow Arab Islamic terrorists.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied about apartheid, when in fact every Israeli Arab has the same rights as Jews.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied about occupation, when in fact Judea, Samaria and all of the Jewish State are Jewish land under binding international law, history and Biblical proclamations.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied that Israel bombed hospitals – when Israel’s so-called hospital strike in Gaza was in fact a rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad that hit a hospital parking lot. And Mamdani failed to mention that Hamas used hospitals for its headquarters, and to hold and torture hostages and political opponents.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied about hitting ambulances – and failed to mention that those hit were transporting Hamas terrorists, bombs, guns and drones.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied about Israel hitting journalists. In fact, the so-called journalists were proven Hamas terrorists.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied that Israel is turning away food at border crossings. In fact, Israel facilitated the delivery of over two million tons of food. Hamas stole much of it. But Mamdani ignores that.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani lied about the number of Gazan Arabs killed in the Hamas war – and failed to mention that over half were Islamic terrorists; and that many more died of natural causes or were killed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Hamas’ claimed numbers were impossible and inflated, according to a study/analysis by statisticians at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. This Mamdani, a despicable excuse for a mayor, never condemns the two clauses in the Hamas Charter that call for the murder of every Jew on earth and for the Jewish State’s destruction. Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani never condemns Hamas leaders for repeatedly vowing that there will be many more October 7th massacres of Jews.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani never condemns Palestinian Authority regime President Mahmoud Abbas for rewarding and paying a lifetime pension to the 6,000 Islamic Arab terrorists who murdered 1,200 Jews on October 7th. Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani never condemned Abbas for bragging that hundreds of Palestinian Authority Fatah Arabs were among the Hamas murderers. Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani never condemned the evil, dangerous speeches by Hamas, Abbas and numerous Imams promoting hatred and violence and murder of Jews.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani never condemned Qatar and Turkey for harboring the Hamas murderers’ leaders. Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani never condemned Jordan for harboring Arab terrorist killers of Jews.
Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani refused to condemn the “globalize intifada” call to murder Jews.
And this Mayor Mamdani of NYC, who’s so concerned about foreign policy and human rights, never condemns the massacres of Black Christians by Black Muslims in Africa, including the Sudan and Egypt; never condemns the massacres of minorities in Syria; or the Arab Hezbollah terrorists or the Houthi terrorists. He doesn’t care about Christians or Jews. He only cares about radical Muslims. Mayor Jew-hater Mamdani is the most divisive NYC mayor ever.
This monstrous Jew-hating and bigoted statement by Mamdani should be condemned by every decent Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, religious leader, newspaper and politician. Many have done so. I’m waiting for the rest.
