Debra Messing Says Zohran Mamdani 'Sides With Terrorists'

Actor Debra Messing wrote an Islamophobic comment on her Instagram in reference to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, claiming that he “celebrated” 9/11.

“I have nothing against Socialism, don’t know where you got that,” Messing, who is known for her role in the sitcom “Will & Grace,” wrote in an Instagram comment replying to a user who called her out for sharing a reel denouncing socialism. “I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I’ve chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world. The same people who did 9/11 did Oct. 7. I just don’t want a mayor who sides with terrorists. Oh and he wants to defund the police. And he has no experience. I’ll stop here.”

If elected in November, Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblyman who was born and raised in Uganda before moving to New York City at age 7, would become New York City’s first Muslim mayor. Since his primary win Tuesday, he has faced an influx of Islamophobic threats on social media — some from far-right figures, like Laura Loomer, who wrote on social media that because of his win, New York will face another 9/11.

Messing’s claim that Mamdani, who was 9 years old in September 2001, “celebrated” 9/11 and sides with terrorists seemingly comes from a rap song he wrote in 2017, in which he praised the now-defunct Islamic charity Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The five leaders of the group were convicted in 2009 of “providing material support to Hamas,” which the U.S. recognizes as a foreign terrorist organization. A number of human rights organizations in 2022 called for the pardon of the five leaders on the basis that money went to social programs run by Palestinian charities and did not directly fund Hamas.

Mamdani has been critical of Israel’s government, accusing it of committing a genocide in Gaza. His criticism of Israel has led some to call him antisemitic.

“I’ve said at every opportunity that there is no room for antisemitism in this city, in this country,” Mamdani, who also said it “pains” him to be “called an antisemite,” said last week. “I’ve said that because that is something I personally believe.”

Representatives for Messing and Mamdani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is Jewish and ran against Mamdani for Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, wrote on social media that threats against Mamdani are “morally reprehensible.”

I have it on extremely good authority from Dataloungers like r16 that Riz Ahmed, Shohreh Agdashloo, Malala Yousafzai, and Bella Hadid all want to throw gay men off of high towers--just because they're Muslim!

Also, remember when Rashida Tlaib used the "from the river to the sea" phrase herself and got censured? Last year the House even passed a resolution condemning it. But Mamdani is fine with it and his followers attack anyone who has a problem with that.

Let me tell you about Deb Messing.

A few months ago I was invited on a mission by Chef José Andrés and his organization World Central Kitchen, which needs no introduction. They were flying to offer help to a particularly war-torn part of the Gaza strip, where trucks of much-needed food were being guarded by hostile Israeli soldiers.

We boarded the plane, and just before takeoff Chef José announced we had a special guest on the flight. Deb Messing emerged from the cockpit to much applause. Even though we all were casually dressed, she cut a chic figure in a pair of leggings and a T-shirt that read “War is unhealthy for children and other living things.” (I later found out it was made for her by Stella McCartney.)

“You certainly are aware of my support for Israel,” she began, “but it does not supersede my efforts to help starving children anywhere in the world. You all have my sincere thanks for helping me in this crusade.”

Chef then announced the lights would be dimmed for those who cared to sleep, while Deb’s album “Deb Messing Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook” would be playing softly over the PA to lull us all to dreamland. (For those who were too excited to sleep, Deb gamely and graciously answered our eager questions about what it was like to work with Megan Hilty and Katherine McPhee.)

After landing in Tel Aviv, we had a treacherous journey. Armed guards on our bus hung out the windows to ensure our safe passage. I was surprised to see Deb among them handling a Kalashnikov rifle like a pro. (I later was told she was a champion sharpshooter at Vassar.)

We reached the aid site, and it was a pitiable sight. Israeli missiles had destroyed a pediatric hospital, and the food trucks were being guarded by IDF members with their own rifles. Hundreds of desperate Palestinians, many of them children, were being kept away by more IDF. The sun was relentless. Many had fainted and were being attended to by the rest.

Our arrival had made the IDF nervous. They pointed their weapons at us. To my great surprise, Deb stepped between us and the soldiers, saying something in Arabic. They glanced at each other.

I told her to step back — it was too dangerous. Deb gave me a confident smile. “They know me from The Mysteries of Laura,” she reassured me. “It’s never gone off the air in Israel.” (On my return, I discovered it was true; Haaretz had described it as “can’t miss appointment television.”)

Then she did something no one expected. Raising her arms to the sky, she struck a torch to a bluesy version of “Buttons and Bows.” It worked — the soldiers lowered their rifles, drinking in every rich note of the song.

The starving Palestinians rushed the food trucks, and we WCK volunteers joyously handed out nutritious and delicious meals, not only including hummus and shwarma but lovingly prepared delicacies like maqluba, mansaf, and musakhan, as well as great amounts of that Palestinian favorite, taboon bread. The refugees fell upon the food like starving dogs while the Israeli soldiers continued to be mesmerized by Deb’s voice, even applauding during the final notes of her rendition of “The Man That Got Away.”

One small child tugged at my pant leg. He had hummus in the corners of his mouth, and I realized this was the first substantial meal he’d had in months. It was all I could do not to cry. He motioned to me to bend down, and with tears in his eyes he asked me:
