Electoral politics is so "beneficial" for us that Zohran Mamdani went from marching alongside pro-Palestine movement before getting elected Mayor to attending pro-Israel vigils after.
Electoral politics is simply a pipeline to de-radicalize grassroots movements and activists.
Wow. A student organizer leading protests against Zohran Mamdani tonight reveals that she previously interned for him.
Now she’s leading chants against the very politician she once worked for, accusing him of prioritizing his own political advancement over the people and movements that helped bring him to power.
She delivers an ultimatum: The protests can stop when Mamdani stops the sale of stolen Palestinian land in NYC and abolishes the CUNY Board of Trustees, which advances Israel’s interests within the nation’s largest urban public university system.
But she makes clear that she doesn’t expect him to deliver. In her view, Mamdani has become just another politician who makes promises to movements and then fails to meet their demands once in office.
What makes her testimony particularly significant is that she isn’t someone who opposed Mamdani from the beginning. She worked for him. She believed enough in his political project to participate in it. Now she’s publicly confronting him.
Her speech speaks to a broader frustration among people who placed their hopes in electoral politics as a vehicle for advancing Palestinian liberation. For some, the experience hasn’t strengthened their faith in political institutions. It has deepened their distrust.
I applaud all our comrades standing for our principles.
This is a wild scene and looks horrible.
Zohran chooses to stand with Israelis over his own base.
“TRAITOR! TRAITOR! TRAITOR!”
Hundreds of protesters chant at Zohran Mamdani as he attends an Israelis for peace (a normalizing project) October 7 vigil.
The chants come amid mounting criticism from Palestinian organizers and supporters of Palestinian liberation over what they see as Mamdani’s retreat from his campaign commitments on Palestine, his political engagement with Zionist organizations, and the continued investment of NYC pension funds in companies tied to Israel’s military industry.
For protesters, the confrontation reflects a growing divide between Mamdani’s campaign rhetoric on Palestine and the actions they expect from his administration.

Protest mainly organized by various SJP chapters across the city @ccnysjp@NYUSJP and many others. Attended by @YDSA_ chapter including campus YDSA chapters.
The constant bombing in Palestine, Ukraine and Russia, the proliferation of AI hyperscale datacenters, the burning of millions of acres of Indonesian rainforests for palm oil plantations, compounded by the war in the Strait of Hormuz, are about to have disastrous consequences.
