The Muslim engagement director for Mamdani’s campaign called Israel a “bloody country” and “barbaric nation” in posts from 2012 when he was 18, and in December 2024 reshared content on X aimed at pro-Israel Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, stating, “If Luigi [Mangione] had shot a Gazan toddler instead, Josh Shapiro would have given him a medal.”

In February 2012 correspondence with Pakistani journalist Najam Sethi, Chaudhary posted, “Hitler … why don’t you face our Pakistani people? Your daughter works at WSJ [the Wall Street Journal],” followed by the Urdu phrase “oh forgot that Jew hoga tera baap” — meaning roughly “Jew will be your father.” Additional messages showed him celebrating Ahmadinejad while writing, “This banda [person] is fearless RT “@murtazasolangi President Ahmedinejad has declared Israel as cancer which will be eliminated very soon,” to Pakistani official Murtaza Solangi

A bigwig on Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team spewed hatred against Jews and Israel and questioned gay rights in a series of odious social media posts from a decade ago.

Hassaan Chaudhary, who identifies himself as newly appointed political director for Mamdani’s transition and inaugural committee on LinkedIn, used the word “Jew” as a slur, and even praised former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who infamously said Israel is “a cancer which will be eliminated soon.”

Chaudhary, who was the director of Muslim engagement for the Mamdani campaign, also described Israel as a “bloody country” and a “barbaric nation” in the posts — some of which date back to when he was 18 years old.

More recently, Chaudhary reshared a post on X in December 2024 aimed at pro-Israel Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who is Jewish.

“If Luigi [Mangione] had shot a Gazan toddler instead, Josh Shapiro would have given him a medal,” the original post said.

Responding to Pakistani journalist Najam Sethi on February 9, 2012, Chaudhary said, “Hitler..why dont you face our Pakistani people? Your daughter works at WSJ [the Wall Street Journal].”

He then invokes an Urdu phrase, saying, “oh forgot that Jew hoga tera baap” — which loosely means “Jew will be your father.”

In another post, a thrilled Chaudhury also lauded Ahmadinejad and called him “fearless.”
