Zohran Mamdani slammed 'white privilege' and called for Israeli boycott in college articles
Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic Party's mayoral nominee in New York City, and he has made no secret of his far-left inclinations.
However, newly unearthed evidence suggests that Mamdani is even more radical than many observers suspected.
Mamdani called for an "academic and cultural boycott" of Israel
As Fox News reported, Mamdani authored some 32 articles for Bowdoin College's student newspaper while studying at the school between 2010 to 2014.
One such piece saw Mamdani, who founded the campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, demand an academic boycott of Israel.
"This academic and cultural boycott aims to bring under scrutiny the actions of the Israeli government and to put pressure on Israeli institutions to end the oppressive occupation and racist policies within both Israel and occupied Palestine," wrote.
The future politician went on to take aim at former Bowdoin College president Barry Mills for opposing the boycott initiative.
Article called "white privilege" a "structural and an individual phenomenon"
In an earlier article, Mamdani complained that white men "are privileged in their near-to-exclusive featuring as figures of authority in print, on television and around us in our daily realities."
"We, the consumers of these media, internalize this and so believe in the innate authority of a white male’s argument and the need for its publication," he insisted.
"So, white privilege is both a structural and an individual phenomenon, the former propelling the latter," Mamdani declared.
"Therefore, even when the individual is silent, the structures continue to exist and frame our society through their existence," he went on to add.
Police union head warns that officers will retire if Mamdani is elected
What's more, Mamdani has called for law enforcement to be defunded, arguing in a 2020 social media post that is necessary for "queer liberation."

The New York Post reported this week that police union officials believe Mamdani's election would likely exacerbate an existing manpower shortage at the NYPD.
Patrick Hendry serves as president of the Police Benevolent Association, and he told the Post, "We can’t afford to have a mayor who ignores the problem or tries to take us backward."
"We need a mayor who will speak up for police officers, and treat us and pay us like the professionals we are," he asserted before accusing Mamdani of having an "extremist attitude" which will push police officers "out the door."
