Unearthed Mamdani college newspaper writings promote anti-Israel boycott, rail against ‘white privilege’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: College newspaper articles written by New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani shed light on the surging candidate’s early views on a variety of topics, including his promotion of an anti-Israel boycott and concerns about «white privilege,» a Fox News Digital review found.
Mamdani wrote 32 articles for the Bowdoin Orient during his four years studying at Maine’s prestigious Bowdoin College from 2010 to 2014, including an article his senior year promoting an academic boycott of Israel.
«This academic and cultural boycott aims to bring under scrutiny the actions of the Israeli government and to put pressure on Israeli institutions to end the oppressive occupation and racist policies within both Israel and occupied Palestine,» wrote Mamdani, who co-founded his college’s Students for Justice in Palestine organization.
Students for Justice in Palestine has become one of the biggest drivers of anti-Israel protests on college campuses since the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, with some going so far as to celebrate the attack.

Mamdani was taking issue in his article with Bowdoin College’s president, Barry Mills, opposing the boycott.
«Lastly, Mills regrettably makes no mention of Palestinians or Palestine,» Mamdani wrote. «The call for the boycott comes in response to more than 60 years of Israeli colonial occupation of Palestine. When Mills speaks of the ‘free exchange of knowledge, ideas, and research, and open discourse’ in academia, he does so while privileging partnerships with Israeli institutions over basic freedoms for Palestinians, including the rights to food, water, shelter and education, which many Palestinians are denied under Israeli rule.»
In a 2013 op-ed, Mamdani responded to a White student who took issue with criticism of the school’s editorial page being too White by accusing him of holding «white privilege.»
«White males are privileged in their near-to-exclusive featuring as figures of authority in print, on television and around us in our daily realities,» Mamdani wrote. «We, the consumers of these media, internalize this and so believe in the innate authority of a white male’s argument and the need for its publication. So, white privilege is both a structural and an individual phenomenon, the former propelling the latter. Therefore, even when the individual is silent, the structures continue to exist and frame our society through their existence.»

Mamdani said the «pervasive male whiteness» of the school’s opinion pages «builds on the sadly still-present white male monopolization of both discourse and understanding.»
Mamdani explained, «While whiteness is not homogenous, white privilege is. This privilege is clear in not having to face institutional racism in access to housing subsidies, college grants, financial institutions, or civil rights. It allows a white person to universalize his own experiences. It restricts society’s ability to understand its flaws, and projects a false image of meritocracy upon a nation built on institutional racism.»
In another post, titled «Bearded in Cairo,» Mamdani discussed his time studying abroad in Egypt as the Muslim Brotherhood was violently toppling President Morsi’s regime. He explained that before arriving he had grown a beard «mostly as a symbolic middle finger» to the stereotype that «pervades America» that brown individuals with beards are a «terrorist.»
Mamdani discussed privilege again, saying that he had «arrived in a society where privilege was a different color.»
«Gone was the image of the white Christian male that I had grown accustomed to, and in its place was a darker, more familiar picture – one that, for the first time, I fit: brown skin, black hair, and a Muslim name,» Mamdani wrote. «With the right clothing, some took me for an Egyptian and most thought I was Syrian – either identity allowed me unrestricted access to exploring Cairo.»
In a 2014 article titled «On the 50th anniversary of MLK’s visit to campus, let’s acknowledge what we still need to achieve,» Mamdani lamented that his school, which doubled its diversity student population over the previous 13 years, was still behind where it should be. He wrote that the school had prematurely achieved a «satisfaction with the level of diversity.»
«I have been forced to personally grapple with these inconsistencies during my time here,» Mamdani wrote.

«I sit in class not knowing whether to correct everyone’s mispronunciation of an Indian woman’s name. I usually do, but today I’m tired. I’m tired of being one of a few non-white students in a classroom, if not the only one. I bring up race in discussions only to see the thought flicker in my peers eyes and on their tongues. They sigh without a sound. I’ve brought up race again. I’ve sidetracked the discussion. I’ve chosen to make an issue out of it.»
In the same post, Mamdani, who was born in Uganda to Indian parents, outlined his struggles feeling uncomfortable being a non-white student.
«I grow a beard only to be called a terrorist,» Mamdani wrote. «I pronounce the ‘h’ in my name only to hear muffled laughs. Clothing becomes exotic once it clads my body. Cotton shirts are called dashikis and sandals ethnic.»
Mamdani continued, «While I am now comfortable in my own skin, I can remember wishing for whiteness my first year when I thought certain types of girls were impossible to talk to due to my skin being more kiwi than peach. Months later, I remember thinking that attraction might only be possible when a girl had ‘a thing for brown guys.’»
Mamdani explained that he has found «solidarity» with some students on campus but that «still, too few people acknowledge that race is an issue on our campus, or that it has ever been one.»
«But if people say they are color blind, do they even see me?» Mamdani wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s campaign for comment.

Mamdani burst onto the national political scene last month when he won a surprising victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary despite facing criticism for his far-left policies, which included city-run grocery stores, defunding police, safe injection sites and raising the minimum wage to $30.
Mamdani’s victory has sparked a civil war of sorts within the Democratic Party between those pushing to moderate since VP Kamala Harris’s defeat in November and those embracing a progressive shift toward the mold of Rep. Alexandria-Cortez, D-N.Y., who endorsed Mamdani.
Mamdani, thanks to his primary victory, is the clear frontrunner in the general election in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a roughly six-to-one margin.

Haití declaró el estado de emergencia en tres departamentos del país ante el recrudecimiento de la violencia pandillera

El gobierno de transición de Haití decretó este sábado el estado de emergencia en los departamentos de Oeste, Artibonito y Centro, en respuesta a un repunte significativo de la violencia criminal durante el segundo trimestre de 2025. Según datos oficiales y la Oficina de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas, al menos 1.500 personas han muerto y 600 han resultado heridas en el periodo señalado, mientras que más de 620 han sido secuestradas y al menos 239.000 ciudadanos han abandonado sus hogares a causa de la inseguridad.
La decisión, anunciada oficialmente por el Ejecutivo de transición, señala que tiene como objetivo “continuar la lucha contra la inseguridad y responder a la crisis agrícola y alimentaria”, y busca otorgar mayores medios y tiempo a las autoridades para restituir la seguridad y la paz en el territorio nacional.
La violencia de las pandillas se ha desplazado progresivamente desde la capital, Puerto Príncipe, hacia la región centro y en especial al departamento de Artibonito, el mayor del país y conocido como el “granero” nacional. El gobierno subraya las “consecuencias negativas de la violencia para la vida de los ciudadanos y para los sectores de actividad del país”. La región, fundamental para la producción de arroz, ha experimentado ataques que han forzado a los agricultores a abandonar sus campos y a desplazarse, situación que ha agravado la crisis agrícola y alimentaria nacional, según la ONU.
A finales de abril, decenas de personas se vieron obligadas a cruzar a pie y a nado el río más grande de Haití, en un esfuerzo por huir de la actividad de los grupos armados. Las autoridades describen una escalada de la violencia, con asesinatos sistemáticos, secuestros y desplazamientos masivos.
El viernes, la administración interina designó a André Jonas Vladimir Paraison como nuevo director general interino de la Policía Nacional de Haití (PNH), en reemplazo de Normil Rameau. Paraison fue jefe de seguridad del Palacio Nacional durante seis años y estuvo presente como agente policial durante el asesinato del presidente Jovenel Moïse en julio de 2021. La misión de Paraison es establecer un clima de seguridad que posibilite la celebración de elecciones previstas para febrero de 2026.
Paraison recalcó, en presencia del primer ministro Alix Didier Fils-Aime y el nuevo presidente del Consejo Presidencial de Transición (CPT), Laurent Saint-Cyr, la necesidad de “un gran plan de desarrollo para la PNH” y de “coherencia entre el plan nacional de desarrollo y el plan de seguridad de la Policía para ofrecer mejores resultados a la población”.

En la actualidad, las bandas armadas controlan hasta el 90% de la región metropolitana de Puerto Príncipe y han instalado controles en las carreteras hacia el interior del país.
Saint-Cyr instó al nuevo jefe policial a tomar “todas las medidas necesarias para restablecer la seguridad”, intensificar las operaciones en todos los frentes y liberar gradualmente los territorios ocupados por las bandas.
A pesar de la presencia de un contingente internacional liderado por Kenia y respaldado por la ONU, las operaciones para restablecer el orden han logrado algunos avances en la capital, pero no han conseguido contener la multiplicación de actividades de las pandillas en otras zonas. El Consejo Presidencial de Transición, establecido el año pasado, tiene como meta pacificar el país y organizar las primeras elecciones en una década.
La nueva estrategia del gobierno de transición tiene como prioridad restaurar la seguridad y responder lo antes posible a la emergencia alimentaria y humanitaria, con la expectativa de crear condiciones estables que permitan el proceso electoral y el retorno paulatino de los desplazados internos a sus comunidades de origen.

Local entrepreneur sounds alarm on local leaders over viral street attack: ‘Democrat monopoly’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
CINCINNATI, OHIO – Southwest Ohio residents are expressing outrage at local leadership after a viral street fight in their backyard that captured the nation’s attention. One resident, a local political activist, told Fox News Digital a «Democrat monopoly» is partially to blame.
The Saturday night violence in downtown Cincinnati on July 26, which left a woman knocked unconscious on the street at the hands of a male assailant, was the result of a city that wasn’t «prepared» due to political ideology, Price Hill native Adam Koehler told Fox News Digital. He added that the response to the fight was «not leadership.»
«Leadership comes out and says, ‘Hey, we’ve got a problem. Here’s my solution to fix it,’» Koehler said. «But instead, they want to be cowardly and hide the fact that crime is actually happening.»
Cincinnati’s mayor and other local officials have faced heated criticism in recent days over the perception they are not taking crime seriously. One elected Democrat, Councilwoman Victoria Parks, posted on social media saying that the victims of the fight «begged for that beatdown.»

«This is a Democrat monopoly they’ve got here,» Koehler, an entrepreneur and former candidate for Hamilton County commissioner, told Fox News Digital. «So, I mean they can just pretty much do whatever they want. And a lot of that kind of rhetoric is excused, right? It’s, you know, past injustices and you know now I feel like I can say whatever I want and it’s excused. And luckily there are some city council members that denounced the words that Victoria Parks said, which is great, but you’ve got other people that just want to stoke the flames.»
Holly, the woman brutally knocked out and bruised in the attack, told Fox News this week she is yet to receive a phone call from the mayor or top officials «just apologizing for what happened and for letting these thugs and criminals run the streets when they should have been in jail to begin with.»
Koehler told Fox News Digital that Democrats running the city «have an agenda» and «want to look a certain way» and «ignore the problem.»
«It’s a lot of these ideologies that come out of the universities, right?» Koehler said. «Every generation thinks they figured something out about crime and they’re soft-hearted people, they wanted to do things, but, you know, policies like what Giuliani did in New York, those kind of things work.»

Koehler, who was speaking to Fox News Digital outside a GOP gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy town hall event on Cincinnati’s west side, said figures like Ramaswamy, Sen. Bernie Moreno, and Ohio native VP JD Vance are reasons to be optimistic about addressing the crime spike downtown.
«Those guys got power,» Koehler said. «I mean you start throwing the DOJ down here and start investigating some of the things that are happening, why wasn’t there more police there?»
Koehler added, «I mean there’s a lot of grifting that goes on whenever you have a one-party monopoly in any city. Obviously, you’re gonna have corruption. And it’s just, it’s festered here, and it’s culminated in what you see.»

Moreno said this week he is introducing «Holly’s Act,» a move aimed at ending what he calls the justice system’s revolving door for repeat offenders.
«Let’s be honest, because a lot of times you guys are qualifying this as a brawl,» Moreno told reporters. «This was attempted murder of an innocent woman. And that person had a rap sheet a mile long. Nobody who has that rap sheet should be walking the streets of any Ohio city free.»
