Mamdani clarifies stance on ‘globalize the intifada,’ says distance between phrase’s intent and reception is ‘bridge too far’

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on July 18, 2025

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani said during a Thursday night TV interview that he now discourages using the phrase “globalize the intifada” as he seeks to quell a weeks-long controversy over his repeated refusal to condemn a slogan that many Jewish New Yorkers see as an incitement to violence.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist who won the primary over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by nearly 13% last month, told NY1 host Errol Louis on July 17 that while some New Yorkers view the saying as a call to “end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land,” it evokes memories of violence against Jewish people for others. He gave the answer following meetings this week with some of the city’s top business and Jewish leaders who are concerned about his previous responses to the rallying cry.
