How Muslim Zohran Mamdani frightened the Zionist lobby in the United States

Pars Today – A Turkish media analyst described the victory of Muslim politician Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral election as a defeat for the Zionist regime.

According to Pars Today, the election win of Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a Muslim politician and Democratic Party member, marks a turning point in U.S. politics and symbolizes the growing influence of Muslims in a political arena long dominated by Zionist lobbies and Islamophobic movements.

This success is not only an electoral triumph but also a clear setback for the powerful networks that support Israel.

In an article published on the analytical news website Politics Today, Turkish international relations expert and foreign policy journalist Ibrahim Karatas examined the implications of Mamdani’s victory in Tuesday’s New York mayoral election, writing:

“Zionists are now openly worried not only about Mamdani’s win but also about the potential shift in America’s political direction.”

Defeat for Zionist lobbies

Karatas added that Mamdani, in a tough race against Andrew Cuomo, an independent candidate backed by billionaires and pro-Israel media outlets, managed to win public trust despite an extensive smear campaign. Millions of dollars were spent to damage his reputation, including attempts to link him to the September 11 attacks and threats from President Donald Trump to cut New York City’s funding—but all such efforts failed.

This defeat was particularly painful for AIPAC and other Zionist lobbying groups, which have long viewed their candidates’ victories as virtually guaranteed.

Changing public attitudes toward Muslims

The Turkish analyst wrote that the people of New York—one of America’s most diverse and populous cities—showed by electing a Muslim mayor that their view of Islam and Muslims has changed. Especially after the Gaza war and growing public awareness of Israeli atrocities, support for Palestine has increased among Americans, and the slogan “Israel First” has begun to give way to calls for justice and humanity.

The beginning of a new era in U.S. politics

Karatas added that analysts believe Mamdani’s victory could signal further defeats for Islamophobic and pro-Israel forces in future elections. Young Americans, who tend to trust politicians critical of Israel, are expected to play a key role in this political transformation.

This shift, he noted, benefits not only Muslims but also all minorities who have long been under pressure from powerful Zionist lobbying groups.

The victory of Zohran Mamdani should therefore be seen as more than an individual achievement—it is a collective triumph for Muslims, advocates of justice, and all those seeking change in America’s political power structure.
