Zohran Mamdani, the anti-Semitic democratic socialist finklefuts, running for New York City mayor, just can’t stop stepping in it. This time, he’s got Jewish advocacy groups fuming after sharing a video that’s being called “sick” for mocking Hanukkah and Jewish traditions. Because nothing screams “I’m ready to lead the Big Apple” like posting a clip of two guys in wigs prancing around a menorah, spinning dreidels, and grooving to Punjabi beats like it’s a bad SNL skit.
The video, posted last year on Mamdani’s X account, comes from the Geeta Brothers Duet Group, a comedy act tied to Sikh-Canadian comedian Jus Reign. It’s part of their 2015 parody “Punjabi Christmas Album Hits,” featuring a track called “Hey Hannukah.”
Stop Antisemitism, a pro-Jewish group, didn’t find it funny. “Zohran Mamdani posts Indian men cosplaying Jews, spinning dreidels and lighting the menorah,” they posted on X, sharing the video. “Our holidays and traditions are sacred and not for your comedic pleasure _ZohranKMamdani — this is sick.”
Mamdani, who apparently thinks anti-Semitism is normal, captioned the post with a cheery, “Happy 3rd night of Hanukkah from Astoria and Long Island City.”
And this isn’t a one-off. Mamdani doubled down, sharing another Geeta Brothers video on Christmas Eve 2024, this time for “Jingle Bells,” with the same wig-wearing shtick. “Wishing you all a very merry Christmas from Astoria and Long Island City,” wrote the self-proclaimed “nepo-baby.”
But wait, there’s more.

Mamdani isn't just offending Jewish New Yorkers with his poor sense of humor. He also has them riled up with his anti-Zionist stance, refusing to back Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. Yes, he's one of those "from the river to the sea" scumbags.
And then there’s the bizarre campaign text messages some voters received, invoking the October 7th attack in Israel to drum up support for him. “My friend Idan was murdered on October 7 at the Re’im music festival. The war is personal to me, as it is to many in our community,” one text read, according to The Post. “Idan believed in peace, just like Zohran does.” Who sent these? Nobody knows. But using a tragedy like that to score political points? That’s a new low, even for a communist.
Oh, and just for good measure, Mamdani’s also managed to piss off Black New Yorkers.

Turns out the Bronx Science grad, born in Uganda to Indian parents, allegedly claimed to be African American on his Columbia University application. Because why not check every box on the identity politics bingo card? Who does he think he is; Elizabeth Warren? Rachel Dolezal?
Look, in a city as diverse as New York, you’d think a mayoral candidate would know better than to treat sacred traditions like a punchline or play fast and loose with their own identity. Either Mamdani is trying to alienate as many voters as possible, or he's as bright as Kamala Harris.

Maybe he’s banking on the “offend everyone equally” strategy. Good luck with that, comrade.
