Leaked internal documents have set off political shockwaves across New York City, revealing how the Democratic Socialists of America allegedly plan to pressure Mayor Zohran Mamdani into pushing sweeping anti-Israel measures through City Hall. The 34-year-old socialist, fresh off his historic victory as the city’s first Muslim mayor, is now facing questions about whether his administration will serve the people — or the party’s radical agenda.
The DSA’s Anti-War Working Group reportedly outlined steps to turn New York into what they call a “testing ground for socialist and anti-Israel policies,” including divesting city pension funds, cutting business ties with Israeli firms, and even revoking nonprofit status from pro-IDF charities. While Mamdani’s supporters hail him as a voice for progress, critics warn that his long-standing ties to the DSA may pull the city into a dangerous ideological experiment.
