The Democratic Socialists of America — the organization backing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — denounced the “conditional” cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and called for continued resistance against the Jewish state in a statement released Monday.
The DSA declaration titled “Until Palestinian Liberation” came days after Israel and Hamas agreed to halt fighting and begin exchanging hostages and prisoners under a US- and Arab-brokered deal.
The far-left group said the truce “will not end Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people or the theft and occupation of Palestinian lands,” describing it as a “conditional cease-fire” that “does not wash the hands of the ruling class that … continued to fuel and arm genocide while stoking regional war.”
While acknowledging “the relief that may be afforded to Palestinians under the agreement in humanitarian assistance and cessation of Israeli military operations,” the DSA said it harbors “no illusions that Israel will honor any negotiated agreement that preserves Palestinian life or self-determination.”
The group asserted that “past cease-fires only slowed the carnage” and that Israel “continued military action with impunity.”
The 85,000-member socialist organization said it supports “the end of Israel’s colonization and occupation of all Arab lands,” “equality,” and “the right of all refugees to return to their homes and properties.”
It pledged to “break the gears of the US imperial war machine that enables Israel” and to intensify boycott and divestment campaigns against the Jewish state.
The DSA statement was released as Israel and Hamas began implementing the cease-fire plan brokered by President Trump — which included the release of 20 living Israeli hostages and the return of remains of deceased hostages in exchange for roughly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Anti-American Socialists is more to the point.
Mo Mamdani is a modern-day Lizzie Borden but with Christians and Jews. It is what it is.
They will vote for him...no doubt whatsoever.
At this point, I consider him to be the face of the Democrat party.
