NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has very deep ties to activism against one of America’s closest allies, a report by antisemitic watchdog group Canary Mission found.
With New York City’s mayoral primary election on Tuesday and the Israeli-Iran conflict still fresh, Canary Mission is warning that «a vote for Mamdani is a vote for anti-Israel chaos in NYC.»
Mamdani, who has been endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is one of the top candidates for the Democratic mayoral nomination in New York City. He is facing off against former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo. The current mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, is running for re-election as an independent.
According to a new report by Canary Mission, Mamdani is a regular and prominent figure in New York City’s anti-Israel protest scene, who, as a New York state assemblyman, introduced legislation to crack down on non-profits sending money to Israel.

The report stated that Mamdani joined protests against Israel just days after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attack that killed 1,200 Israelis.
According to Canary Mission, Mamdani «didn’t stumble into anti-Israel activism—he was raised in it.» The report details how Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Muslim-Indian parents Mahmood Mamdani and Mira Nair, both of whom are also outspoken anti-Israel activists.
Mamdani’s father, Mahmood, is a professor of anthropology at New York’s Columbia University, which has been at the epicenter of the pro-Palestine protests in the U.S. Canary Mission calls Mahmood a «Marxist» professor who is «known for his anti-Israel views and obsession with ‘colonialism.’»
According to the report, in a recent course titled «Settlers and Natives,» Mahmood promoted the concept of «the necessity of violence in anticolonial struggle.»

The report also said that Mahmood was one of the Columbia faculty members who donned an orange vest and locked arms in attempts to keep Avi Weinberg, an economics student at Columbia, and a small group of Jewish classmates from entering a pro-Palestine encampment on Columbia’s campus.
Faculty refused to answer when asked why the students were not being let on the lawn. Members of the crowd suggested it was unfair that faculty were determining who could and could not go into the area, when it is part of the university campus they pay to attend.

Both of Mamdani’s parents are supportive of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which encourages economic pressure against the state of Israel for its alleged «genocide» against Palestinians.
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment but received no response by publication deadline.

‘Kamala is brat’: Harris reveals how scripted her failed 2024 campaign was with star-studded events

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
It took 27 drafts and coaching from «Barbie» director Greta Gerwig to perfect former Vice President Kamala Harris’ National Democratic Convention speech, Harris revealed in her book «107 Days.»
Harris’ book has pulled back the curtain on her short-lived presidential campaign, unveiling the celebrity cast of characters who boosted her campaign in public and behind the scenes.
«At 5:29 p.m., staff alerted me that the British singer-songwriter Charli XCX had posted: Kamala is brat. Brat was the title of her latest album and identified me with her brand: edgy, imperfect, confident, embracing. From then on, our rebranded Kamala HQ social media site was awash in her signature color, lime green, and posts supporting us used that color,» Harris wrote in her book, detailing the night former President Joe Biden suspended his reelection campaign.
As well as Charli XCX’s signature chartreuse filling Harris’ timeline, her presidential campaign quickly gained traction online as videos of Harris set to songs like Chappell Roan’s «Femininomenon» circulated on TikTok. But social media wasn’t the only medium Harris was honing in on, revealing in her new book that an Oscar-nominated director coached her through DNC speech prep.

«I did twenty-seven drafts of my convention speech. I knew what was riding on it,» Harris said in her book.
Harris admitted that Gerwig, the «Little Women» and «Barbie» director, helped her rehearse. «When you speak about your family, see their faces,» Harris recalled that Gerwig had advised.

The former vice president also admitted to working with a professional voice coach.
«She was very serious about her job, but she wanted me to stand there and emit animal noises,» Harris said, explaining that she enlisted her team to join her in making «weird hums, grunts, and trills» to prepare for the DNC speech.

In the book, Harris said delegates at the convention wore T-shirts paying homage to her career or dissing President Donald Trump, and she said merchandise referencing Charli XCX’s «Kamala is brat» message was everywhere.
Weeks later with just a few days until Election Day, when Harris appeared on a podcast episode of «The Checkup with Doctor Mike,» Harris lamented that she was «ambushed by an unscheduled in-depth interview, with no notice, at the end of a nineteen-hour day.»
Harris said her team «knew I insisted on being well prepped, to inquire into the style of the show, the nature of the interviews the host did, the areas of likely questioning.» She said her team failed to give her a «briefing sheet so I could knock it out of the park.»
«What the f— was that?» the Democratic nominee said she asked her staff after the interview, while Grammy-winning artist Cardi B was delivering an introductory speech for Harris at a rally in Wisconsin.

During Harris’ first rally in Atlanta after Biden dropped out of the race, she said Megan The Stallion was selected as the opener and Quavo as the introductory speaker as a way to «liven up» her solo campaign, «broaden the cultural appeal, and bring more creativity and fun.»
«There was a question about whether I should have any celebrities at my rallies,» Harris recalled in the book. «Did it seem too California, too Hollywood?»

Harris recognized Taylor Swift’s «thoughtful endorsement» on Instagram the night of her debate against Trump, when the «Eras Tour» star called herself a «Childless Cat Lady» in a nod to comments by Vice President JD Vance.
Throughout Harris’ 107-day campaign, she was endorsed by countless celebrities, many who campaigned for her against Trump, including Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, Lizzo, Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts, Stephen Curry and Billie Eilish, to name a few.

Amenaza mafiosa en plena misa: le entregaron una bala a un sacerdote que lucha contra el crimen organizado

El domingo, la tensión en Caivano, un municipio de la provincia de Nápoles golpeado por la criminalidad, subió a un nuevo nivel. En plena misa, el sacerdote Maurizio Patriciello—conocido por su enfrentamiento abierto contra la mafia—recibió una bala de calibre 9×21 envuelta en un pañuelo mientras oficiaba la comunión en la parroquia de San Pablo Apóstol.
La escena fue tan impactante como simbólica: un hombre mayor y conocido en el ambiente delictivo local, se acercó al altar y le entregó el paquete al cura, que lo recibió “atónito”, según dijo la periodista antimafia Marilena Natale, quien presenció la escena, al diario La Repubblica.

“Fui a misa porque estoy preocupada por el sacerdote últimamente”, contó Natale. “Reconocí al suegro del jefe Ciccarelli en el penúltimo banco y comencé a filmar porque lo vi agitado y con anteojos de sol, que nunca se quitaba”, explicó sobre el hombre que entregó el paquete, Vittorio De Luca, de 75 años.
“Al ver la reacción del cura, le pedí que me diera el paquete. Cuando descubrí la bala, hice que lo detuvieran mis guardias de seguridad y los de Don Maurizio”, comentó la mujer, que luego entregó la bala a las autoridades.
El mafioso que entregó la bala fue identificado como Vittorio De Luca. (Foto: gentileza La Repubblica).
Un mensaje mafioso en medio de la iglesia
La amenaza no llegó de la nada. La noche anterior, Patriciello había denunciado en redes sociales que se escucharon dos disparos cerca de su parroquia. En ese mismo mensaje, el sacerdote destacó los avances recientes en la lucha contra el crimen organizado: “En Caivano y alrededores, la mafia organizada—bien arraigada desde hace años—ha recibido, en estos últimos meses, un golpe durísimo. El comercio de la malditísima droga ha disminuido a la vista. Los jefes de los clanes, casi todos en prisión. El gobierno actual se está comprometiendo como nunca antes. A pesar de un trabajo nunca visto antes, los delincuentes intentan llenar los vacíos dejados por los detenidos”, escribió en Facebook.

Antes de la misa, el cura también se dirigió a los jóvenes de la zona con un pedido desesperado: “Chicos, en nombre de Dios, ¡deténganse! Disfruten de su juventud. El camino que han tomado es un callejón sin salida. Siempre termina o en la cárcel o en el cementerio”.
Caivano, una ciudad marcada por la violencia y el abandono
El ataque al sacerdote se dio en un contexto de máxima tensión. En 2023, Caivano fue noticia nacional por un caso de violación que conmocionó a Italia: dos primas de 13 años fueron agredidas por un grupo de seis adolescentes. Ese episodio derivó en la aprobación del llamado ‘Decreto Caivano’, un paquete de medidas impulsado por el Gobierno de Giorgia Meloni para combatir la delincuencia juvenil.
El respaldo del Gobierno y la condena de Meloni
La primera ministra Giorgia Meloni no tardó en reaccionar. El domingo, calificó el hecho como “inaceptable” y expresó su solidaridad con el sacerdote, a quien había visitado en la localidad el año anterior. “Un gesto vil y criminal, cometido en el lugar y momento más sagrado, que no intimidará a quienes, como don Patriciello, representan coraje y dedicación a favor de la comunidad y la legalidad. Al lado de don Patriciello y de todos aquellos que no se doblegan ante la criminalidad. El Estado está con ustedes, y nunca daremos un paso atrás”, escribió la mandataria en su cuenta de X.
Por su parte, el ministro del Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, se comunicó telefónicamente con el sacerdote, le transmitió su apoyo y confirmó que se reforzarán las medidas de protección para él.
El Prefecto de Nápoles, Michele di Bari, declaró este lunes que “se están reforzando algunas medidas en relación con Don Patriciello, la iglesia y otros lugares simbólicos, porque en este contexto creemos que proteger a Don Patriciello es esencial para continuar la lucha contra la delincuencia en esa zona”.
Un símbolo de resistencia en la lucha contra la mafia
El episodio dejó en claro que la batalla contra la mafia en el sur de Italia está lejos de terminar. Maurizio Patriciello se convirtió en un símbolo de resistencia y coraje en una región donde la violencia y la impunidad parecen no dar tregua. La amenaza mafiosa, esta vez, llegó hasta el altar, pero el mensaje del sacerdote y el respaldo de la comunidad muestran que la pelea sigue más viva que nunca.
