(NY Post) Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani co-founded a college club that invited a radical speaker who called Israel a bigger terror threat than Hamas — and boasted he was greatly influenced by a Palestinian leader nicknamed the “godfather of Middle Eastern terrorism.”
The professor, As’ad AbuKhalil, also later claimed that the US brought the Sept. 11 attack on itself and accused the government of inflicting “many 9/11s” on the world.
In November 2013, Students for Justice in Palestine at Bowdoin College — which Mamdani helped launch — welcomed the controversial Lebanese-American academic to campus.
AbuKhalil was invited to speak to SJP about “trends in the Middle East in the age of uprising” while Mamdani was still a student.
