The Lie:

Zohran Mamdani and his father are simply progressive New Yorkers with no extremist influences or agenda.

The Truth:

Mamdani’s father sits on a Gaza Tribunal council alongside figures tied to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the PFLP — reflecting an extremist anti-Israel worldview that Zohran Mamdani himself has embraced politically.

Background:

Columbia professor Mahmood Mamdani sits on the Gaza Tribunal advisory council targeting Israel and the U.S. with “genocide” accusations.
Tribunal participants and leaders include individuals tied to U.S.-designated terror groups (Hamas, PIJ, PFLP).
For years, Zohran Mamdani has advanced positions deeply antagonistic to Israel and Judaism, mirroring the ideological posture championed by his father and raising serious concerns within New York’s Jewish community about the worldview shaping his politics.

Truth Explained:

Mahmood Mamdani serves on the Gaza Tribunal advisory council, a body dedicated to pursuing “genocide” charges against Israel and the United States, framing Israel’s self-defense as war crimes instead of terrorism response.

The council includes Ramy Abdu, identified by Israel as a Hamas operative in Europe, placing Mamdani in direct intellectual and political partnership with a figure tied to Hamas leadership.https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/artc-mamdani-s-father-linked-to-hamas-connected-gaza-tribunal-council
Abdu has documented family ties to senior Hamas leaders and has been photographed with Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and commander Muhammad al-Jamassi, demonstrating the nature of the company Mamdani knowingly keeps. https://www.jfeed.com/news-world/mamdani-gaza-tribunal-hamas-ties
The Tribunal’s most recent gathering (Istanbul, Oct. 23–26, 2025) brought together activists and figures tied to Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the PFLP — meaning Mamdani continued participating as the organization platformed individuals linked to terror movements.https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/americas/artc-mamdani-s-father-linked-to-hamas-connected-gaza-tribunal-council
Sami Al-Arian, who pled guilty to aiding Palestinian Islamic Jihad, served on the Tribunal jury as well – this is the ideological environment Mamdani chose to join. https://www.jfeed.com/news-world/mamdani-gaza-tribunal-hamas-ties
Mahmood Mamdani’s public writing has argued that suicide bombings should be understood as “modern political violence rather than barbarism”, aligning his academic defense of terror tactics with the Tribunal’s extremist narrative. https://www.jfeed.com/news-world/mamdani-gaza-tribunal-hamas-ties
This ideological alignment mirrors Zohran Mamdani’s political record, including campus anti-Israel organizing and openly embracing an anti-Zionist identity — demonstrating consistency, not coincidence, between father and son. https://nypost.com/2025/10/29/world-news/mamdanis-dad-sits-with-hamas-linked-financier-on-gaza-tribunal/
