Zohran Mamdani’s one-sided Middle East history Mamdani digs himself deeper into fanatic Islamism. Moshe Phillips | RUTHFULLY YOURS Subscribe RUTHFULLY YOURS THE RIGHT NEWS, FRONT AND CENTER Zohran Mamdani’s one-sided Middle East history Mamdani digs himself deeper into fanatic Islamism. Moshe Phillips Posted By Ruth King on May 21st, 2026 https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/05/zohran_mamdani_s_one_sided_middle_east_history.html Earlier this month, Zohran Mamdani shared an official video marking so-called “Nakba Day.” Leaning heavily into standard progressive, anti-Israel spin, the video used isolated family histories to recycle decades-old “blame Israel first” talking points. By falsely portraying the 1948 war purely as a unilateral act of Israeli aggression, the producers of this propaganda deliberately erased crucial historical context. They omitted the fact that five Arab armies invaded the nascent Jewish state, choosing instead to treat refugees from that era as a unique situation in order to foment a perpetual assignment of blame. The very word “Nakba” is politically charged and is used by anti-Israel extremists to refer to the Palestinian refugee situation that developed during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war following the complete Arab rejection of the UN’s partition plan. When far too many political commentators and politicians today look at the 1940s and 1950s, they often suffer from a severe case of historical amnesia. They treat the creation of Israel in 1948 as an exceptional, historically distinct tragedy rather than what it actually was: a standard, albeit painful, partition just like others. When British India was divided along ethnic/religious lines into India and Pakistan in 1947, the global community accepted the massive bilateral migration of more than 14 million people as a permanent reality. Yet when it comes to the Middle East, a completely different, weaponized standard is applied. The narrative in the propaganda video Mamdani promoted conveniently omits the fact that five invading Arab armies explicitly rejected the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan and launched a war of annihilation against the newly established state of Israel. It ignores the historical reality that Arab leadership fervently urged residents to flee the fighting, promising them a swift return following a definitive defeat of Israel — to be more historically precise they said “after we drive the Jews into the Sea.” By focusing solely on Israeli actions, this brand of revisionism completely absolves the nations that surround Israel of their foundational role in creating the refugee situation. The greatest deception of the “Nakba” propaganda narrative, however, is that it ignores the other half of the story. It’s not just that the late 1940s did not have a unilateral expulsion of Arabs; what’s missing is the truth that the time marked a massive regional exchange of populations. While possibly as many as 700,00
