YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

New York Post columnist Rikki Schlott breaks down the disturbing rise of extremist rhetoric among young pro-Palestine activists, focusing on a resurfaced video of Hadeeqa Malik—a student leader and former intern for New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Schlott examines how Malik openly framed her activism as “jihad” and encouraged fellow Muslims to embrace arrest, suspension, and doxing as part of their political mission.

Schlott also explores Malik’s growing influence in activist circles, from her leadership role with Students for Justice in Palestine to her affiliations with CAIR and Columbia protests. As Schlott explains, Malik’s rhetoric exposes a deeper and more radical undercurrent driving some segments of the pro-Palestine youth movement—one that raises serious questions about extremism, accountability, and how it reflects on the broader cause.
