- Mamdani’s Nakba Day video that never was
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a video commemorating Nakba Day, which drew backlash from local Jewish leaders, and he later defended his decision to release the video, stating that acknowledging one people's pain does not preclude acknowledging another's. The video featured Inea Bushnaq, who recalled her family's displacement from East Jerusalem in 1948. Mamdani's comments have led some Jewish leaders to boycott a reception commemorating Jewish American Heritage Month.
