The victory of the first mayor of New York, the largest city in the country, (who accuses him of being a “communist”—as well as for the Republican Party—but has provoked a wave of criticism from his opponents, who have not been slow to link him (without substantial evidence) with terrorism and even with the jihadists of 9/11.
This is not the first time these attacks have occurred. Already before his election at the polls, media such as the news agency and even political figures such as the vice president of the United States, JD Vance, warned of its alleged relationship with a terrorist attack that occurred in 1993.
“I have been reliably informed that Democrats oppose any type of political violence, so I hope they unanimously condemn Zohran Mamdani for campaigning with an unindicted accomplice in a terrorist plot that killed six New Yorkers,” said Vice President Donald Trump’s right-hand man at the time. in reference to a picture taken by Mamdani and Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the most recognized Muslim leaders in the country.
“There is nothing to see here, just the anti-Semitic Democratic Socialist candidate for mayor of New York City, endorsed by Kathy Hochul, campaigning and smiling with an unindicted accomplice in the bombing of the World Trade Center 1993″, denounced the Republican Jewish Coalition, which also charged against the already elected mayor of NY
Now, after Mamdani’s victory, these types of attacks have seen the light of day again. An example has been the statements of some ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, who have compared the New York politician to the jihadists of 9/11. In fact, Israel was one of the first countries to has been publicly against this appointment.
One of them has been the ultra Ben-Gvir, who has criticized “the triumph of anti-Semitism over common sense.” The Minister of the Diaspora Amijai Chikli has also been against the figure of the democrat, who has described him as ““the last of the thugs who support the rapists and murderers of Hamas”as well as accused of having “similar positions” to the perpetrators of the attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001.
“This is a crucial turning point for New York. The decision it has made undermines the very foundations of the place that provided freedom and opportunities for success to multitudes of Jewish refugees since the late 19th century,” added Chikli (who incidentally participated in a Santiago Abascal event in Madrid). Despite the criticism, it is worth noting that at least a third of New York Jews have voted for Mamdani.
