The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ super PAC, Unity and Justice Fund, “quietly” funded anti-Israel New York state representative Zohran Mamdani in his effort to become New York City mayor to the tune of $100,000, The Washington Free Beacon reported, citing campaign records.
The $25,000 contribution on May 30 and the $75,000 gift on June 16 went to New Yorkers for Lower Costs, the largest PAC supporting Mamdani, per the Free Beacon.
“The backing of the Unity and Justice Fund and other anti-Israel organizations suggests New Yorkers for Lower Cost’s true interest in Mamdani lies in his anti-Israel views,” according to the publication. “Mamdani has refused to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist and earlier this week defended the phrase ‘globalize the Intifada,’ a rallying cry for violence against Jews worldwide.”
CAIR was among several groups that blamed Israel, on Oct. 7, 2023, for being attacked by Hamas.
