Zohran Mamdani: ‘AIPAC is a status quo of immorality’

Описание: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defended his criticism of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), describing the lobbying group as a defender of “a status quo of immorality” amid Israel’s ongoing genocide on Gaza.

Speaking to reporters, Mamdani said his criticism was directed at political organizations and super PACs that use large sums of money to influence elections and preserve existing power structures. He specifically accused AIPAC of helping sustain policies he views as harmful to Palestinians and the broader Middle East.

The remarks came days after Mamdani sparked controversy by describing AIPAC as one of the “monsters” preventing the emergence of a new political order, drawing criticism from several Jewish organizations and political opponents.
