‘Cry-Bully Bulls***’: Mamdani Trashed After Shilling For ‘Nakba Day’

Democratic New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani was slammed after his public statement championing “Nakba Day,” drawing sharp criticism from historians and policy analysts who accused the lawmaker of presenting a highly selective and revisionist version of the 1948 war.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Happy Nakba Day to you and yours! I celebrate the failed attempt to Holocaust the middle eastern Jews. Are you with me?

The “Nakba” is the biggest load of cry-bully bullshit

In 1948 the Arabs waged a war of extermination against Jews

If they had won, all those performing pain today would be posting about a day of joy and celebration

But they lost – and now they cry crocodile tears to the world…

Shame on your @NYCMayor. This is political propaganda masquerading as compassion.

Mamdani erases the fact that the Arab world rejected the UN's partition plan which would have created a Palestinian state and instead launched a war to destroy the newborn Jewish state in 1948.

The “Nakba” was when an Arab paramilitary group led by a former colonel in the Nazi Wehrmacht – with an official emblem featuring a sword stabbing a Jewish Star of David – failed to carry out a second Holocaust against Jews three years after the Nazi Holocaust pic.twitter.com/1NPY9KT8fZ

The Mayor of NY City is commemorating the Nakba, when Arab countries lost a war they started with Israel, and the Palestinians rejected every deal for a Two State Solution for the last 78 years.

That's only the real "catastrophe" here. pic.twitter.com/aCTh3O6m4d

Nakba – the Arab failure to destroy Israel and drive the Jews into the sea.

Mamdani’s public commemoration of the Nakba — the Arabic term for “The Catastrophe” — focuses heavily on the displacement of more than 700,000 Palestinians during the founding of the State of Israel. By framing the event as a unilateral act of Zionist aggression, Mamdani completely erases the fact that Arab leadership initiated the hostilities, while simultaneously ignoring the systematic expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab lands during the same era.

Mainstream historians point out that the standard Nakba narrative promoted by figures like Mamdani portrays Palestinians as passive victims of an unprovoked disaster. This framing ignores the foundational geopolitical reality of 1948: the United Nations’ 1947 Partition Plan, which proposed a two-state compromise, was accepted by Jewish leadership but flatly rejected by the Arab Higher Committee and neighboring Arab states.

Following Israel’s declaration of independence on May 14, 1948, a coalition of five sovereign Arab armies — Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq — immediately invaded the newborn state. Rather than a localized skirmish, the invasion carried explicit, genocidal intent; Arab League Secretary-General Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam notoriously declared at the time, “This will be a war of extermination and momentous massacre.”

Records from the era also indicate that a large portion of the Palestinian refugee crisis was exacerbated by Arab leadership itself. Documents show that invading Arab forces explicitly encouraged local Arab populations to temporarily vacate their homes to clear the way for incoming military forces, promising a swift victory that never materialized.

Perhaps the most glaring omission in Mamdani’s selective history, according to critics, is the total silence regarding the mirror-image displacement of Middle Eastern Jews.

Following their military failure to destroy Israel in 1948, Arab regimes across the region unleashed state-sanctioned campaigns of antisemitic violence, asset seizures, and forced expulsions. Approximately 850,000 Jews — who were peaceful citizens completely uninvolved in the Palestine conflict — were forced to flee ancestral homes in nations like Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, frequently escaping with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Analysts highlight a stark double standard in how both refugee crises were handled. While Israel successfully absorbed and integrated the 850,000 Jewish refugees from Arab lands, neighboring Arab states systematically refused to integrate Palestinian refugees, choosing instead to confine them to generational camps to use as political leverage against Israel. Furthermore, the narrative omits Arab-on-Arab opportunism, such as Jordan’s subsequent annexation of the West Bank and Egypt’s harsh military rule over the Gaza Strip.

Political commentators argue that Mamdani’s championship of the Nakba narrative goes beyond standard historical remembrance. Critics maintain that by defining the very birth of a sovereign Jewish state as an inherent “catastrophe,” the narrative is actively instrumentalized to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist.

By pushing a one-sided historical grievances framework, Mamdani and his ilk are trying to achieve what Arab armies failed to do militarily in 1948: the ultimate dismantlement of Israel as a Jewish state.

And of course, Mamdani has been silent about issues like this:

This is an ALL GIRLS Jewish school in my district. I’m all for prayer and free speech, but why do a bunch of GROWN MEN need to do this right outside of a school full of little Jewish girls??? Is not this what MOSQUES are for? Is this intentional? Mayor Mamdani @NYCMayor any words… pic.twitter.com/iFRPnGVblQ
