Of course his hands are tied as the US has designated Hamas as a terrorist organization, making no distinction between the political side engaging with the peace process and the side promoting armed resistance. Plus the public has been indoctrinated with "Hamas wants to kill all Jews" which is mostly pushed by Zionists, not Hamas. Hamas has cleared up their charter since 2017 to make it explicit that their struggle is against Zionist occupation, not against Jews in general.
But Mamdani doesn't want to get into that, rather just have people chant something else... Which will be seen as anti-semitic anyway.
And of course the sale of stolen Palestinian land which sparked these protests is buried.
