Mamdani and the Israel Test of the Democratic Party - Opinion
Jerusalem Post ^ | AUGUST 25, 2025 | Adam Milstein

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is likely the next mayor of New York. But his ascent should alarm anyone who still believes in the foundational principles of the Democratic Party

Among the members of the American Islamo-leftist alliance, New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is widely viewed as a rising star and likely the next mayor of America’s largest city. But his ascent should alarm anyone who still believes in the foundational principles of the Democratic Party and the health of America’s political system. Mamdani reflects the slippery slope direction the party is headed for, if it doesn’t change course very soon.

Mamdani is a self-described Democratic Socialist who supports turning New York’s grocery stores into government-run institutions, eliminating fares on public transit, defunding the police, and implementing permanent rent freezes. His economic agenda bears more resemblance to failed communist regimes than any credible American policy tradition.

In addition to these myopic policies, his moral standing is dubious. Mamdani refuses to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, has declined to condemn slogans like “globalize the intifada,” which calls for religious motivated violence against Western European countries and America, and regularly aligns himself with radical voices that celebrate antisemitic incitement and terror.

The “Israel Test”?

Why should there be an Israel Test for an American political office?

In recent years the democrat party consciously betrayed Jewish and working-class American support for that of ascendent Marxists and breed-like-bunnies Muslims.

Simple math.

He is an immigrant Islamo Socialist . And why shouldn't there be this test? It shows the values of a person.

Or maybe we should ask the opinion of AmericaLAST Tucker-Qatarlson who propagated for Putin in Moscow in 2024 and in the Middle East for his Qataris and his Iranian Islamofascists?

At some point, Mamdami will have to admit that he hates Jews, and when he becomes Mayor, I hope all of the Jews of New York make Aliyah to Israel and take their money and economic power with them. The US will be poorer, but Israel will be richer. Sadly, they will be forced to make this decision and will have to live with the consequences, as they always have when they stayed too long in a hostile country.

The Israel test, The Taiwan test, the Hamas test and similar should be in US politics because (like it or not) they could be important to US safety and solvency.
