A resurfaced college article has shed light on Zohran Mamdani’s long-standing support for the Palestinian cause, years before he became a leading figure in New York politics.

Mamdani, now 33 and the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, co-authored the piece as an undergraduate at Bowdoin College, where he co-founded the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP).

Published on January 10, 2014, in Bowdoin’s student paper, The Bowdoin Orient, Mamdani’s article strongly endorsed the American Studies Association’s (ASA) decision to join the academic boycott of 'Israeli' institutions, a move aimed at pressuring 'Israel' to end its occupation of Palestinian territories

It’s not enough that Palestinians are free. The IDF needs to be dismantled and its soldiers prosecuted, Netanyahu and his cronies need be tried at The Hague and hung for genocide and crimes against humanity, and every Israeli settler needs to be run out of Palestine at the threat of death.
