Socialist NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani’s Dad Sits on Council of Anti-Israel Group, Sympathetic of Suicide Bombers

The father of socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani sits on an advisory council of an Israel-hating organization that routinely accuses the Jewish state of committing “genocide” – and has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers.

Mahmood Mamdani, 79, is listed as one of 29 members of the London-based Gaza Tribunal’s advisory policy council.

The group, founded last year, says its primary goal is “to awaken civil society to its responsibility and opportunity to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.”

It also supports many of the same anti-Israel causes being pushed by the Queens assemblyman and mayoral frontrunner, including the BDS movement, which urges “boycott, divestment and sanctions” against Israel to push Palestinian causes.

He has also come under fire on social media this week over a resurfaced book excerpt, in which he expressed sympathy for the way suicide bombers are viewed.

“Suicide bombing needs to be understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism,” the elder Mamdani wrote in his 2004 book “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror.” (NYP/VFI News)
