In their own words, not twisted by the mainstream media: “We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs, or any other race or group of people,” the duo wrote in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. “We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine — a machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid.

Not all of Mamdani’s policies could be/should be adopted here intact.
