With Zohran Mamdani’s election as mayor of New York City, Jewish residents have every reason to be deeply concerned. Throughout his campaign — and long before it — Mamdani proudly aligned himself with anti-Israel radicals, openly calling to “globalize the Intifada” and surrounding himself with activists who have made a sport of demonizing the Jewish state.
Let’s be clear: Mamdani isn’t just a far-left progressive — he’s a Democratic Socialist backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization whose platform, as has been reported this week, is unapologetically anti-Israel and dripping with antisemitism.
And his victory is being celebrated loudly by exactly the kinds of groups you’d expect. His socialist, Islamist allies are ecstatic. CAIR — the Council on American-Islamic Relations — poured serious money into Mamdani’s campaign, betting big on this outcome. And now, they’ve got what they wanted: a radical, anti-Israel mayor running America’s largest city.
For New York’s Jewish community, this isn’t just unsettling — it’s a flashing red warning light.
NEW: Mamdani’s socialist & Muslim backers — who won him the primary & election — are taking a victory lap. That includes celebrations by Sarsour, Wahhaj, the DSA & Muslim Democratic Club (both of which he’d helped lead), & Neville Singham’s Commie network.https://t.co/da35GBZbaD

But the real bombshell today comes from leaked documents showing that the Democratic Socialists of America have handed Mamdani a list of demands for his new administration — and, shocker, every single one of them is straight out of the socialist playbook and blatantly anti-Israel:
Here’s the New York City DSA Anti-War Working Group’s internal document which they accidentally shared with me. It includes the DSA group’s list of “demands” for the incoming Mamdani Administration — shockingly basically all the demands are anti-Israel.

Just the News obtained an internal planning document from the NYC-DSA’s Anti-War Working Group (AWWG) which shows the group has spent weeks plotting how to pressure the new Mamdani administration to carry out their socialist “demands” — including demands to push an anti-Israel agenda at New York City Hall.
The document from the group, obtained by Just the News, is titled “AWWG Palestine Policy Meeting Meeting Agenda & Notes” — and it contains the internal plans of the DSA working group. The document was obtained when a Just the News reporter used his real name to RSVP to an AWWG meeting that was listed as open to the public.
This reporter was sent a Zoom link to join, and a Google document containing the AWWG strategy document, reproduced below, was publicly shared in the Zoom chat. The link to the document has since been disabled.
Here’s the list of demands DSA wants from their boy:
-
Divest City pension funds from Israeli bonds and securities
-
Withdraw City funds from banks that lend money to Israel or do business in Israel
-
End City contracts with companies that do business with Israel
-
Operate City-run grocery stores free from Israeli products
-
Investigate real estate agents hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank
-
Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from the NYC Metro Area
-
Divest CUNY endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors
-
Dismantle Eric Adam’s NYC-Israel economic council
-
End repression of demonstrators and the SRG [the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group]
They also call on Mamdani’s administration to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as “active IDF soldiers for war crimes.” Insane. And pure hatred.
How much power Mamdani actually has to ram through his radical wish list remains to be seen. After all, New York’s state government and city council still have a say in major policy decisions — at least for now. But let’s be honest: if Mamdani runs into resistance, he’ll do what every power-hungry socialist does — run straight back to the voters and demand even more authority to “finish the job.”
Make no mistake, though: the socialists have a plan, and they’re wasting no time putting it in motion.
FYI, you don't get the DSA endorsement without agreeing to everything on the list
Mamadani wasn't just a candidate. He was one of the people recommending endorsements for other candidates

And it’s already clear that not everyone in New York is willing to stick around for Mamdani’s socialist experiment — especially within the city’s Jewish community. Just hours after Mamdani’s victory was declared, FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker, one of the most prominent Jewish officials in city government, announced his resignation.
And for the record, the DSA’s ‘list of demands’ is all about hating and hurting Jews.
Israel derangement syndrome is just antisemitism. There is no possible other reason socialism, as an ideology, mandates being this concerned with one tiny country in the context how to govern a city in America 5700 miles away. https://t.co/qq9IwWJenb

Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17) described the list of demands “utter insanity” and wrote in a post on X, “As Chair of the Middle East and North Africa subcommittee on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I will be watching closely and will conduct hearings if @ZohranKMamdani and New York City engage in policy detrimental to US Foreign Policy.”
