Mamdani college articles show distant opinions on Israel and privileges

First on Fox: Articles of college newspapers written by the socialist candidate of the New York town hall, Zohran Mamdani, highlighted the candidate’s first views on a variety of subjects, including his promotion of an anti-Israelian boycott and concerns about “White Privilege”, a digital journal of Fox News.

Mamdani wrote 32 articles for the Bowdoin Orient for his four years to study at the prestigious Bowdoin College in Maine from 2010 to 2014, including an article His last year promoting a university boycott of Israel.

“This academic and cultural boycott aims to have the actions of the Israeli government examined and to put pressure on Israeli institutions to end the oppressive occupation and racist policies both in Israel and occupied Palestine,” wrote Mamdani, who co-founded the students of his college for justice in Palestine.

Students for justice in Palestine have become one of the largest engines of anti-Israeli demonstrations on university campuses since the massacre of October 7, some going so far as to Celebrate the attack.

Mamdani challenged his article with the president of Bowdoin College, Barry Mills, opposing the boycott.

“Finally, Mulls unfortunately makes no mention of the Palestinians or Palestine,” wrote Mamdani. “The call to boycott comes in response to more than 60 years of Israeli colonial occupation of Palestine. When Mulls speaks of the free exchange of knowledge, ideas and research, and open speeches ” in the academic world, it does it while favoring partnerships with food, shelters and education, which are made in terms of food regions.

In a OP-ED 2013,, Mamdani responded to a white student who challenged the criticism of the editorial page of the school by being too white by accusing him of holding a “white privilege”.

“White men are privileged in their quasi-exclusive featured as figures of authority on paper, on television and around us in our daily realities,” wrote Mamdani. “We, consumers of these media, internalize this and thus believe in the innate authority of the argument of a white man and the need for his publication. Thus, white privilege is both a structural and individual phenomenon, the first propellanting the second. Consequently, even when the individual is silent, the structures continue to exist and frame our society.”

Mamdani said that the “omnipresent male whiteness” of the school’s opinion pages “is based on white male monopolization unfortunately still present speech and understanding”.

Mamdani explained: “Although the whiteness is not homogeneous, the white privilege is. This privilege is clear not to have to deal with institutional racism in access to housing grants, university subsidies, financial institutions or civil rights. It allows a white person to universalize their own experiences.

In Another messageEntitled “Beard in Cairo”, Mamdani discussed his time studying abroad in Egypt while the Muslim Brotherhood violently overturned the regime of President Morsi. He explained that before arriving, he had grown up a beard “mainly as a symbolic adult” with a stereotype which “permeates America” ​​that brown beard individuals are a “terrorist”.

Mamdani again discussed the privilege, saying that he had “arrived in a society where privilege was a different color”.

“As much as the image of the white Christian male to which I got used to, and in its place was a darker and more familiar image – the one who, for the first time, I put: brown skin, black hair and Muslim name,” wrote Mamdani. “With good clothes, some took me for an Egyptian and most thought that I was Syrian – the time of identity allowed me unlimited access to exploring Cairo.”

In a Article 2014 Entitled “On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of MLK’s visit to the campus, let us recognize what we still have to achieve,” deplored Mamdani that his school, which has doubled its student population in diversity in the past 13 years, was still behind where it should be. He wrote that the school had prematurely reached “satisfaction with regard to the level of diversity”.

“I was forced to fight personally with these inconsistencies during my stay here,” wrote Mamdani.

“I sit in class without knowing if I have to correct the name of an Indian woman by everyone.

In the same position, Mamdani, who was born in Uganda to Indian parents, stressed his difficulties in feeling uncomfortable to be a non -white student.

“I cultivate a beard to be called a terrorist,” wrote Mamdani. “I pronounce the” H “in my name to hear muffled laughter. The clothes become exotic once it cracks my body. Cotton shirts are called dastikis and ethnic sandals.

Mamdani continued: “Although I am now comfortable in my skin, I remember wishing the whiteness my first year when I thought that certain types of girls were impossible to speak because my skin was more kiwi than Peach. Months later, I remember thinking that this attraction could be possible when a girl had” one thing for brown guys. “”

Mamdani explained that he had found “solidarity” with certain students on campus, but that “still, too few people recognize that race is a problem on our campus, or that it has ever been one”.

“But if people say they are blind, do they even see me?” Mamdani wrote.

Mamdani burst into the national political scene last month when he won a surprising victory in the primary mayor Democrat in New York, despite criticism for his distant left -wing policies, which included city grocery stores, police financing, safe injection sites and the increase in minimum wage to $ 30.

Mamdani’s victory sparked a kind of civil war within the Democratic Party between those who push to moderate since the defeat of the vice-president Kamala Harris in November and those who embrace a progressive change towards the mold of representative Alexandria-Cortez, Dn.y., who approved Mamdani.

Mamdani, thanks to his main victory, is the clear favorite of the general elections in a city where the Democrats are more numerous than the Republicans by a margin of about six to one.
