Michael Goodwin: Mamdani hosting pro-Palestinian ‘activist’ Khalil proves he’s still a radical leftist when it comes to the Mideast
NY Post
Because the first 100 days of a new administration are often a harbinger of things to come, New Yorkers better brace themselves for four turbulent years.
Mayor Mamdani is off to a terrible start, with even the weather turning against him.
There’s nothing he could do about heavy snowfalls and Arctic cold, but he made a huge unforced error that proved tragically fatal.
At least 16 people died on the streets from hypothermia after he broke with a long City Hall tradition and refused to force the homeless indoors during the coldest days.
And now comes a streak of reminders about the mayor’s long history of anti-American and anti-Israel positions — and proof he’s still a radical leftist when it comes to the Mideast.
So much so that even President Trump, who made common cause with Mamdani at two chummy White House visits, is fuming, according to a statement.

“Everyone is worrying about what comes next,” reports David Patrikarakos at The Free Press of what people in Iran are telling him. He talked to “a friend in Tehran I will call Reza. ‘The bombing is heavy,’ he told me. ‘And it’s frightening. But we have been frightened and terrorized for almost 50 years.’ ” No one sees any “signs of mass uprising — it’s just too dangerous” as “gangs of Basij enforcers, often heavily armed, roam the streets, threatening civilians and forcing them indoors.” Indeed, “the entire regime is now on a war footing,” but: “The state is in disarray. Senior officials are scattered and confused” and “an internal power struggle appears to be under way.” He concludes: “Despite the Islamic Republic’s best efforts, the battle for Iran — by both external powers and Iranians inside the country — is far from over. It may take time, but I am convinced this regime will fall.”
