In 2002, Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani stood in front of an audience and said something that should outrage every decent American. He claimed that Holocaust survivors—people who lived through one of the worst genocides in human history—had become “today’s perpetrators.” That’s right. A man who teaches at one of the most elite universities in the country had the nerve to say that those who survived Hitler’s death camps are now oppressors. And he said it with the same cold arrogance we’ve come to expect from far-left academics who hide behind tenure while spewing hate.
To make matters worse, Mahmood Mamdani is not just any professor. He’s the father of Zohran Mamdani, the radical leftist who was just elected Mayor of New York City. If you think this kind of twisted thinking won’t make its way into city policies, think again. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. When the family dinner table is filled with talk about how Israel is the villain and Holocaust survivors are the bad guys, don’t be shocked when that mindset shows up in how a city is run.
Let’s be clear: comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa is not only wrong, it’s dangerous. It’s part of a larger campaign by the far Left to delegitimize the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel is a nation that gives its citizens—Jewish, Arab, Christian, Muslim—equal rights under the law. It’s a beacon of freedom in a region filled with tyranny. But to the Left, none of that matters. They hate Israel because it stands for strength, sovereignty, and self-defense. And they hate America for the same reasons.
What Mamdani said in 2002 is not just an old quote we can ignore. It shows us the deep rot in our universities and political system. This man didn’t lose his job. He didn’t get canceled. No, he kept teaching—and his ideas kept spreading. In fact, they’ve taken root in our schools, our media, and now, in our government. When Holocaust survivors—people who lost everything and rebuilt their lives—are smeared as oppressors, you know the radical Left has gone off the rails.
This isn’t about free speech. It’s about moral clarity. There’s a line between academic discussion and outright slander. And Mahmood Mamdani crossed that line. He took the pain and suffering of an entire group of people and twisted it into a political weapon. That’s not scholarship. That’s propaganda.
And let’s not forget the timing here. In 2002, the world was still reeling from the 9/11 attacks. Americans were waking up to the threat of radical ideologies. And while patriotic citizens were rallying around our flag and defending our values, this professor was busy blaming Jews and demonizing Israel. It’s disgusting.
It’s time we demand accountability. Columbia University should answer for why this man is still on their faculty. And Zohran Mamdani should be asked, loudly and often, if he agrees with his father’s hateful views. Voters deserve to know what kind of ideology is guiding their leaders. Because if we stay silent, we’re letting the radicals win.
Here’s the truth: America was built on individual liberty, not group guilt. We judge people by their character, not their ancestry. And we stand with our allies, especially when they’re under attack. Israel is not an apartheid state. Holocaust survivors are not perpetrators. These are lies, and they must be called out for what they are—anti-Semitic poison.
We’ve seen what happens when lies like these go unchecked. They lead to violence. They lead to hate. And they tear apart everything this country stands for. So let’s speak up. Let’s push back. Let’s remind the Left that in America, we don’t rewrite history to suit a political agenda. We honor the truth, and we stand for what’s right. Always.
