Overview
- NYC DSA TikTok and Instagram posts promoting PalestineOnTheBallot.com credited “Animation by Rama Duwaji,” identifying her role in the campaign’s visuals.
- The campaign urged support for Democratic primary candidates who reject AIPAC funding and backed the Not on Our Dime Act targeting charities linked to “Israeli settler violence.”
- The PalestineOnTheBallot.com site also encouraged volunteering for Jamaal Bowman’s reelection bid, which later ended in a primary loss to George Latimer.
- Critics, including former Assemblyman Dov Hikind, say Duwaji’s public campaign work conflicts with Mayor Mamdani’s assertion that she is a private person.
- Separately, Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry recommended barring Duwaji from entry over past posts it cited as anti‑Israel, including references to “genocide” and questioning reports of Oct. 7 rapes.
