Letter: Mamdani’s Phony “Nakba” History

Dear editor:

Inea Bushnaq,  Mayor Mamdani’s “Nakba survivor”, in his “Nakba” video is a European settler. A Muslim Bosnian whose family moved from Bosnia to Ottoman Syria and then to Tulkarem which was controlled by Jordan, not Israel. There was no “Nakba” in Tulkarem because Jordan controlled it.  The family would move back to England in 1948 where their grandparents were from because the father was offered a job there. They were not expelled.

Continuing to demonstrate the phoniness of “Nakba” history, the “Visit Palestine” poster in Mamdani’s “Nakba” video is a Zionist poster designed by artist Franz Kraus to encourage Jewish tourism to Eretz Israel.

So much for Mamdani’s “Nakba” history.
