A Muslim-led coalition in New York has launched a campaign to raise $500,000 for investment in Israeli treasury bonds, directly challenging Mayor Zohran Mamdani's anti-Zionist politics, according to Jewish Breaking News.
A Muslim-led coalition, described as 'pro-Israel Muslims,' has launched an anti-BDS investment campaign in New York City, aiming to raise $500,000 for Israeli treasury bonds. The initiative, covered by Jewish Breaking News, also supports coexistence and anti-hate groups. The coalition explicitly positions the move as a direct challenge to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who has made anti-Zionist statements a hallmark of his tenure.
The Zioneer has previously reported extensively on Mamdani's controversial remarks, including his refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, his description of AIPAC and its supporters as 'monsters,' and his campaign alignment with figures accused of Hamas apologetics. Mamdani has also been criticized for policies that could lead to divestment from Israel-linked companies, with the ADL warning of potential losses of $37.55 billion in NYC pension funds.
The new campaign represents a counter-narrative from within the Muslim community, emphasizing investment and bridge-building over boycotts. It remains to be seen whether the campaign will gain traction and how it might affect the broader discourse on BDS in New York.
