Mamdani Will ‘Discourage’ the Term ‘Globalize the Intifada’

Zohran Mamdani told an influential group of business leaders that he would not use the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which has been seen as a call to violence against Jews, and would “discourage” others from doing so, the New York Times reports.

“The phrase has been a rallying cry among opponents of the war in Gaza, and Mr. Mamdani, an ardent critic of Israel’s military operations, had refused to condemn its use during the Democratic primary race that he won in June.”
