Mamdani Funds Islamic Group to Fund Antisemitism Which Moves the Money Back to Fund Him

A whole new level of evil.

Remember that exciting Mamdani plan to ‘fight antisemitism’ that the media hyped for a week? Somehow it keeps getting worse.

It was bad enough when it turned out that a whole bunch of the money was going into a black box called ‘Partners Against the Hate; that could output to an Islamic group that celebrated the Oct 7 atrocities by Muslim terrorists.

The antisemitism plan allocated the funds like this

• Supporting the physical security of vulnerable nonprofit organizations, including synagogues and other houses of worship — $1 million.

• Doubling funding for Partners Against the Hate grants to community-based organizations aligned to the prevention framework with a renewed focus on countering online hate speech, data collection, restorative justice and survivor support — $6.4 million.

Journalists have noted that ‘Partners Against the Hate’ has no clear beneficiaries but was launched with a group run by Mamdani’s Islamist political godmother, Linda Sarsour.

The city’s “historic” plan to stop hate crimes will include increased funding for Partners Against the Hate, an initiative launched in 2021 with six leading advocacy groups, Mamdani’s office said Tuesday. One of them is Arab American Association of New York, or AAANY, which had Palestinian firebrand and Mamdani supporter Linda Sarsour as its leader for over a decade.

The AAANY also backed a “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” protest days after Oct. 7. The demonstration quickly devolved into a riot, with activists shutting down roads, setting fires in the street, and yelling and throwing eggs at police officers.

Al-Aqsa Flood was the Hamas name for the attacks of Oct 7.

Meanwhile, David Kelsey found that AAANY appears to be outputting money to CAIR, an Islamist group listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in terror funding, whose leader also celebrated the Oct 7 attacks… and whose PAC was a major source of funding for… Zohran Mamdani.

AAANY’s 2025 Form 990, Schedule I, is where it lists grants over $5,000. Same page: CAIR-NY, $57,779, PATH PROGRAM. PATH PROGRAM. About $223,500 to CAIR-NY since 2021. About $222,000 to JFREJ over the same years. Every check labeled PATH.

CAIR’s PAC was reported as a major funder of the Mamdani campaign.

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.

So the pipeline starts with Mamdani promising to fight antisemitism, goes through two Islamist groups and ends with an Islamist group that funded Mamdani.

This kind of political money laundering isn’t unusual, but using money meant to fight antisemitism to potentially promote groups that celebrate the murder of Israel is a whole new level of evil.

And it manages to be self-serving too.
