New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was confronted with chants of 'We charge you with genocide' from young socialist activists at a 7 October vigil marking the third anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel, as a row over the event spilled into an internal funding dispute within the Democratic Socialists of America.
Campus chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in New York City say leaders of the citywide organisation threatened to pull funding from youth groups that promoted the protest, which disrupted the Union Square vigil.
