"Those demands are: Divest City pension funds from Israeli bonds and securities Withdraw City funds from banks that lend money to Israel or do business in Israel End City contracts with companies that do business with Israel Operate City-run grocery stores free from Israeli products, Investigate real estate agents hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank, Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from the NYC Metro Area"
"Divest CUNY endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors, Dismantle Eric Adam's NYC-Israel economic council, End repression of demonstrators and the SRG [the NYPD's Strategic Response Group] Remove non-profit status from charities that raise funds for IDF End NYPD training with IOF Arrest Netanyahu and active IDF soldiers for war crimes The reaction to Dunleavy's reporting has been substantial. The DSA finally has a sympathetic mayor in NYC, and almost every single one of their policy demands is tied explicitly to Israel. This is weird, scary, and insanely stupid stuff."
A Democratic Socialists of America Anti-War Working Group document presents demands for New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Key demands include divesting City pension funds from Israeli bonds and securities, withdrawing City deposits from banks that lend to or do business with Israel, and ending City contracts with companies that do business with Israel. Additional demands propose City-run grocery stores free of Israeli products, investigations of real estate sales tied to the West Bank, eviction of weapons manufacturers and transporters from the NYC metro area, divesting the CUNY endowment and reinstating fired professors, and dismantling the NYC-Israel economic council. The document also calls to end repression of demonstrators and the NYPD Strategic Response Group, strip non-profit status from charities that fund the IDF, end NYPD training with the IOF, and arrest Israeli leaders and active IDF soldiers for alleged war crimes. Public reaction has included harsh criticism from commentators and a Republican lawmaker warning of potential congressional scrutiny.
