Jon Voight warns New Yorkers that anti-Israel mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani threatens to dismantle the city, urging Trump to intervene.
Hollywood legend Jon Voight has unleashed his most explosive warning yet, declaring that New York City is on the brink of catastrophe under incoming mayor Zohran Mamdani—a politician infamous for his radical anti-Israel activism and pro-intifada rhetoric.
In a fiery video shared on social media, Voight blasted Mamdani as “a communist fool” whose extremist agenda threatens to unravel the American spirit that built New York “with brick and stone by hard-working Americans.” Voight warned that Mamdani’s rule would “take down the city that never sleeps” and transform it into “a forbidden place of darkness.”
“This mayor will destroy this city,” Voight declared.
“His mayoralty should be terminated immediately.”
Voight urged New Yorkers to defend their rights, their businesses, and their personal freedoms against what he described as Mamdani’s dangerous socialist revolution. The Oscar winner said the 35-year-old mayor-elect has “no right dictating the rules of socialism” and called for mass civic resistance.
The actor, a long-time and vocal supporter of Israel, reminded Americans of the stakes:
“You, the people of the greatest city, are in danger of losing your city… We must stand for the honor of our flag.”
Voight also invoked the urgency of national leadership—turning directly to former President Donald J. Trump, who has repeatedly condemned Mamdani as a “communist lunatic” and warned of federal funding consequences should New York fall under extremist governance.
“He, and only he, can stop this horror,” Voight insisted.
Mamdani’s victory earlier this month stunned political observers. Known for his hostility toward Israel, his refusal to condemn the genocidal slogan “globalize the intifada”, and his vow to arrest Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mamdani’s rise has deeply alarmed Jewish communities and pro-Israel advocates.
His record includes:
- Blaming Israel one day after the October 7 Hamas massacre.
- Accusing Israel of “war crimes” while ignoring Hamas atrocities.
- Threatening to arrest Netanyahu if he enters New York.
- Repeated anti-Israel agitation from his earliest political days.
Trump, who endorsed Andrew Cuomo days before the election, reiterated after Mamdani’s win that the mayor-elect “should be very nice to me,” noting that federal approvals still flow through the White House.
As New York braces for a political shift unlike any in its modern history, Voight’s dramatic warning captures the growing fear shared by countless residents:
Israel’s fiercest enemies now have a foothold in America’s greatest city — and the consequences could be irreversible.
