Backtracking on Palestine? Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Party Playbook

Backtracking on Palestine? Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Party Playbook

Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani joins Bhakti Shringarpure and Madhuri Sastry to discuss the recent concerns about NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani backtracking on Palestine. In light of Mayor Mamdani’s harsh words about writer Susan Abulhawa and her powerful video response, the fear of betrayal around Palestine looms large, a core issue for the base of supporters that brought him to power.
