From Fox News: 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.
Separately, in a 2013 op-ed, Mamdani wrote, “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, 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.”
