(May 6, 2025 / JNS) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), a member of the far-left progressive “Squad” in Congress with a long history of anti-Israel statements, is fundraising via text message blast for the New Yorkers for Lower Costs super PAC tied to Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for New York City mayor, the New York Post reported.

A self-identified Democratic Socialist, Mamdani, who is of Indian-Ugandan heritage, is currently a New York state representative. Both he and Tlaib support the movement to boycott Israel.

Mamdani wrote in October that “I will always be clear in my language and based in facts: Israel is committing a genocide.” He has also accused Israel of massacring babies in Gaza.
