many of these screenshots and articles i grabbed from @gingerswagfreckles posts.

some of the people mamdani has appointed:

Kazi Fouzia - Transition Committee on Worker Justice: "Kazi Fouzia posted on Facebook on October 8, 2023, mere hours after Hamas’s devastating attack in Israel: “Resistance are [sic] Justified when people are occupied”"

Tamika Mallory - Committee on Community Safety: is associated with the antisemitic group nation of islam and repeatedly defends leader Louis Farrakhan, was accused by fellow Women's March organizers of making antisemitic comments, and refused to condemn Farrakhan's antisemitism

Youssef Mubaraz - Transition Committee on Small Businesses & MWBEs: called the rape and kidnapping by hamas on october 7th "propaganda"

Gianpaolo Baiocchi - Transition Committee on Community Organizing: "Baiocchi was among the faculty arrested at the student-led, anti-Israel encampment at NYU in 2024. He alleged that “there was no expression of anti-semitism [sic], bigotry, or any hate speech” at the encampment." this is categorically false. this encampment was full of signs, posters, pamphlets, etc instigating violence against Jewish people.

Ruha Benjamin - Transition Committee on Technology: has been involved in encampments at Princeton that have created unsafe environments for Jewish students (support for hezbollah, calls for school to end funding for Jewish studies), believes in "jewish supremacy" bullshit

Hassaan Chaudhary - Muslim Outreach Director: "He used “Jew” as a slur, praised Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (who called Israel “a cancer which will be eliminated”), and described Israel as a “bloody country” and “barbaric nation.”"

Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari - Transition Committee on Youth & Education: was involved in encampments that were rife with antisemitism, posted photos of herself with the inverted red triangle that Hamas uses with "long live the resistance"

Mamdani was also the co-founder of the SJP chapter at Bowdoin College. read about why SJP is antisemitic here, here, here, here

he promoted an event with jewfakers JVP and the co-founder of electronic intifada (disinformation machine)

oh yeah and hes associated with hasan piker and i do not have the fucking energy to talk about that stinky, stinky little man. he abuses his dog, hes gone to a brothel that was busted for sex trafficking, he denies the mass rape on oct 7, hes hosted a fucking houthi member on his stream.........

Anti-Jewish hate crimes have made up like 50% of hate crimes in NYC this year. Im sure abolishing safety measures for Jews will help right? /sarcasm. heres how NYC (10% jewish, most jewish city in the diaspora, second in the world, btw) is for Jews in 2026:

The only Ethiopian-Israeli/Jewish restaurant in NYC was forced to close after endless harassment

a flag with a swastika was raised at NYU

violent protests outside synagogues

the car ramming attack at chabad headquarters

antisemitic graffiti and threats at schools, playgrounds, synagogues, businesses

Albert Itzkowitz z''l, 75, an orthodox Jewish man, owner of a kosher bakery and former Hatzolah volunteer was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds. He was a beloved father, grandfather, husband and friend. His murder came only 3 weeks after his wife died of cancer. His family believes that his murder was an antisemitic hate crime, the killer has yet to be identified.

A 23 year old Jewish woman was verbally assaulted by a woman yelling "Jews are eating kids", who then grabbed her throat and strangled her, dragged her around, ripped out a huge chunk of her hair on the subway.

a rabbi was physically assaulted and harassed in Queens on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

i hope this is sufficient evidence for you that Zohran Mamdani is fostering antisemitism through the people he promotes and associates with and through his actions and words (or lack thereof).

ALL workers, you say? But wait, didn’t you say just before…

It wasn’t long after Hamas carried out its attack on Israel in Oct 7, 2023, that Taryn Thomas found herself swept up in the chorus of pro-Palestine activists mobilising against the Jewish state.

Even before Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza following the Oct 7 massacre,“I was scrolling through social media, and I only saw support for Palestine,” she recalls. “People I know, whether it was activists or people I look up to, were already posting their thoughts.”

Then aged 19 and studying biomedical science at the elite Stanford University in northern California, Thomas, an African American, was first introduced to the anti-Israel movement at Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, where Palestinian flags were flown by some activists. “I never really understood why, but we were told that in order for us to be free, Palestine has to be free,” she says.

She subsequently helped lead large protests against Israel and, within two weeks of Oct 7 2023, had joined an encampment of activists on campus protesting against Israel’s invasion of Gaza. Like many others, she donned a keffiyeh, the headscarf worn to demonstrate solidarity with Palestinians. “I really loved it because of the sense of belonging and the sense of purpose,” she says of the encampment. “It was like an instant community.”

Besides fellow students, Thomas was encouraged by “faculty members like history professors” who “validated the movement”. “It seemed like everyone was a lot more educated than me and very certain and sure of themselves that this is a genocide,” says Thomas, who is now 21. “The only safe position was the more radical one in the encampment.”

‘I was confused by what our mission was’

Thomas grew up in Riverside County, one of the few Republican counties in the otherwise “very liberal California”. That, together with racist abuse at school, influenced her political outlook. “I thought going further to the Left would be the solution to the extremism I was seeing from the Right,” she says.

Huge demonstrations took place at universities across the US in the months that followed Oct 7, with protesters confronting the educational institutions with their demands – including to divest from Israel and cut ties with counterpart Israeli institutions.

While the movement was largely peaceful, some demonstrations turned violent and led to clashes with police. “One of our protests got out of hand, and that kind of made me take a step back,” says Thomas.

This was in June 2024, when several militant students broke into the office of Stanford’s president, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage. “They spray-painted disgusting things, such as ‘Pigs taste best when dead’, ‘Death to America’, ‘Death to Israel’, and ‘Kill cops’,” Thomas recalls.

“I was confused by what our mission was. At what point did the pro-Palestine movement turn into this anti-Israel, anti-America movement? We completely lost sight of the victims we were claiming to be supporting and fighting for.”

Yet those behind the vandalism “doubled down”, she says, and justified their actions, “even though Jewish students said they felt unsafe”. She explains: “They felt like they couldn’t go to their classes, they were getting harassed and doxxed [having personal information published online] and things like that. Essentially, we completely lost our minds.”

A drastic change of heart

Then, in October 2024, Thomas was one of many students who received an open invitation to the Nova Music Festival Exhibition in Los Angeles. Recently opened in London, the exhibition aims to recreate the festival site where 413 people were murdered by Hamas, and many more were injured or taken hostage.

Nova exhibition

“Initially, I laughed, thinking, ‘What’s this propaganda?’” Something piqued her interest, however, so she decided to go. “I’d heard about the festival and was curious, but I’d only really heard the reasoning, ‘Well, why would you have a festival next to a contested border? Essentially, they were asking for it.’

“I was hoping it was going to reaffirm my position, that I would find Zionist lies and whatever. I went with a very closed mind.” Three hours later, Thomas emerged feeling “so lost”.

“I experienced a lot of cognitive dissonance – what I was seeing versus what I’d been told. It was like I arrived a year too late to a funeral. I had so many questions, but I really had no one I could talk to about this. All of my friends were from the encampment. I’d never met an Israeli or talked to them about their experiences – I was fluent in the state’s sins, but I was illiterate in its people.”

Seeing pictures and footage of the young festival-goers hit home for Thomas. “They were kids my age, just dancing, and then fleeing for their lives the next moment. I could see myself in them. I could have been sending a last ‘I love you’ message to my mum. I felt so much empathy and sadness.”

One element in particular changed everything – an audio clip of a jubilant Hamas fighter phoning his father to let him know he’d killed 10 Jews. “My heart sank because these [were meant to be] our martyrs. [This was] the resistance we were claiming we wanted. When we called for any means necessary, I didn’t realise that’s what it meant.”

Months later, Thomas was invited on a trip to Israel organised by a group combatting anti-Semitism on campus. “I knew if I was going to continue to speak on this, I needed to see it for myself,” she says.

During the 10-day trip last March, she met with Israelis, Ethiopian Jews, Palestinians, Druze and Bedouin. “I was shocked at how much diversity I saw – I didn’t even know Israel had black people,” she said.

On the fourth day, the group had to take cover during a missile attack. “Our guide told us to get on the ground, and I put my hands over my neck and prayed. “I thought about the irony of how I’d called for the divestment of the very system I was praying for,” she says. “It [the missile] didn’t care about my politics or what I posted or any of that. I was a target, a body on the ground, and I felt utterly useless.”

Fortunately the missile was intercepted and the trip continued, but the experience left Thomas shaken. She says it made her realise “how cushy and comfortable a life” she had in America, and that she’d not realised the “real consequences” of what she’d been calling for.

‘It felt like being stoned publicly’

Back home, she posted a picture of her trip online – a decision that cost her dearly. “My best friend of three years asked, ‘Is this in Israel?’ I said, ‘Yeah, do you want to talk about it?’ She immediately blocked me. I hadn’t even expressed anything. I literally said I went. Period.”

Her post opened the floodgates. “I lost every single friend”, while her classmates “posted really disgusting things”, including labelling her a “genocidal apologist”. Thomas says she was doxxed, and received death threats and racist abuse – and that her family was also targeted. “It was like a crusade and felt like being stoned publicly.”

She now takes a dim view of the encampment atmosphere. “It completely insulates you in this echo chamber and indoctrinates you. If you had any questions, you’d lose your social belonging – the last thing you wanted to be called was a Zionist.”

She adds that the protesters’ “attention turned into this hatred” and there were constant calls for the “normalisation of violence”. Some activists, for example, celebrated the assassinations of Charlie Kirk, the Right-wing political activist, and Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare chief executive, she says.

The mental toll had become so heavy on Thomas that she stepped away from her studies late last year. What helped get her through this tough period is the new friendships she has formed, including some with Jewish students.

“They knew I came from the encampments and they engaged with me, intellectually argued with me, disagreed with me, but we still broke bread on Shabbat,” she says. “I learned from my [now] best friend that she was doxxed because of people within our movement. I know I have to repair some of those damages.”

‘Open your heart and put down those megaphones’

Thomas says her family are not politically engaged in the issue of Israel and Gaza and she has faced questions from her mother about her involvement. “She was just like, ‘Why are you doing this? It isn’t your burden to shoulder.’ She just wants her family to be safe and protected.”

But Thomas hopes that by sharing her story it will encourage others to experience the Nova exhibition. “I hope the people who are protesting will come – I just want them to go inside,” she says. “None of this is political. Just look and learn the stories – you don’t have to agree. Come in with an open heart and an open mind and put down those megaphones.”

As for Thomas, she hopes to return to university in September, but in the meantime, she is determined to do what she can to increase cross-community understanding. “A lot of us on the pro-Palestine side were recruited through empathy, so I think we can be reached through it too. Because of this unique perspective I have of what changed my heart, I think I can hopefully change other people’s.
