1

Imagine being raised on a constant diet of this poison – to despise the country you now govern.

Why do these America haters come to America?

Zohran Mamdani’s father:

“America is the root of all evil in the world, and it was the inspiration for the Nazis. Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln.”

I’m sure someone who was raised with this mentality has America’s best interests in mind.

Here’s Zohran explaining that his parents shaped his ideology, raising questions about how much influence his father had on his obsession with and hatred for the Jewish state.

NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s professor father claimed Hitler inspired by Abraham Lincoln

By Alec Schemmel, Fox News, July 6, 2025:

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s father, a longtime academic and Ivy League professor, said during a 2022 panel discussion about one of his many books that Adolf Hitler drew his inspiration for the Holocaust from Abraham Lincoln.

The younger Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist, has credited his parents with providing him a “privileged upbringing,” one that included frequent discussions on politics and global affairs, according to a New York Times profile on the mayoral candidate and his parents. Mamdani’s mother is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker.

During a 2022 panel discussion hosted by the Asia Society, Mamdani’s father, Mahmood, asserted that America was the “genesis of what we call settler-colonialism” around the world.

“With the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations, they herded American Indians into separate territories,” Mamdani, Columbia’s Herbert Lehman professor of government, said. “For the Nazis, this was the inspiration – Hitler realized two things: one, that genocide is doable. It is possible to do genocide, that’s what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized, is that you don’t have to have a common citizenship.”

The elder Mamdani also argued during the talk that the racist and antisemitic Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany “were patterned after American laws.”

Other comments included claims that there is no difference between “nationalism and colonialism” and that the Allied forces during World War II shared the same goals as the Nazis.

“The Nazi political project was shared by the Allies, and that political project was to turn Germany into a ‘pure’ nation. A ‘pure’ nation rid of its minorities,” Mamdani said at the Asia Society event. “When the Allies defeated the Nazis and went into Eastern Europe, they began to create ‘pure’ nations. To ethnically cleanse Eastern Europe of Germans – move them back into Germany. One crime doesn’t wipe out another.”

Following the political upset in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, critics began unearthing videos of the younger Mamdani espousing similarly radical views.

One of those moments came from remarks the NYC mayoral candidate made at a Young Democratic Socialists of America conference in 2021, during which he told attendees not to compromise on goals like “seizing the means of production.”

In an interview about his book, “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror,” the older Mamdani asserts that the term “suicide bomber” is a misnomer because they are no different from “soldier[s] whose objective is to kill.”
