New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani attacked AIPAC as "monsters" in a statement posted Sunday. Mamdani accused the pro-Israel lobby of fearing democracy and an end to what he called Netanyahu's "genocide and wars", and of funneling dark money to preserve its power.
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, currently seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2025 election, posted a statement Sunday calling AIPAC "monsters." In the statement, Mamdani accused the pro-Israel lobby of fearing democracy and an end to what he described as Netanyahu's "genocide and wars," and said AIPAC directs dark money to maintain its influence. The claim that Mamdani is the sitting Mayor of New York City is incorrect — Eric Adams is the current mayor. The source material does not provide information on Mamdani's political status or further context for his remarks.
