New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman urged attendees at a 9/11 memorial ceremony to turn away from New York Mayor Mamdani. Blakeman and others cited Mamdani's support for the phrase 'globalize the intifada' as grounds for exclusion from the event.

The arguments presented claim this position disqualifies Mamdani from participating in the memorial service. The controversy centers on the mayor's statements regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
