New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani releases a campaign ad in Arabic.
Mamdani, who is a Muslim and recently gave a landmark speech about Islamophobia, is the frontrunner to win Tuesday’s election.
“I know what you’re thinking — I might look like your brother-in-law from Damascus, but my Arabic needs some work,” Mamdani, who is of Indian descent, says in the video. “Still, I would love to ask for your support on November 4th.”
In the ad, Mamdani pitches his promises to make New York more affordable, pets a bodega cat, and jokes about knafeh — an Arabic dessert — from Nablus, a city in the northern West Bank. A Palestinian flag is briefly seen behind the candidate, who is a longtime anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian activist and whose positions on the country and conflict have been a central issue in the race.
“I’m from you, and for you,” he says.
Mamdani studied Arabic in Cairo while he was a college student. As is customary in New York City mayoral campaigns, he has released campaign materials in different languages, including Yiddish.

I hope all the dogs will be safe.
All these decades immigrant offspring who ran for office and won could have started speaking Italian, Yiddish or other languages their families used before insisting the kids learned English.
Now many people expect the rest of the country to adapt to them. Press 1 or 2 on phones. Labels on canned goods and cereal boxes. Special teachers and tutors in school districts.
Example:
“Students in the Los Angeles Unified School District speak 154 languages in addition to English.”
Soon:
Only sign in English at the DMV.
DMV service for people speaking English will be by special appointment on days when the non-Arabic and non-Spanish service person is available.
And how about all Arabic highway signs so WE will have to struggle to learn what they say?
Who was it who said— I don’t like having to feel uncomfortable speaking English at a convenience store and trying hard to get my questions across to the employee.
Trump needs to tackle the scourge of islam.
The arabic actually says “we are going to kill all of you white devils”
A cat that lives at a store whose job is to kill rodents.
Thanks.
I was thinking some weird designer cat breed.
😳
"Fuggedabout the Catskills. I've got a brand new wonderful resort designed just for you and your whole family plus an all-expense paid train trip to get there. What's not to love?!"
Will Mamdani get over or under 40% of the Jewish vote?
I do NOT want to learn Arabic AGAIN
Why is it that Lincoln and Kennedy take bullets for America, yet dirtbags live long lives?
