Mamdani-backed DSA member led radical anti-Israel group that demanded ‘total eradication of Western civilization’

Darializa Avila Chevalier, a prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America and a likely next congresswoman from New York's 13th District, was recently revealed to have been involved in radical anti-Israel activities. She played a significant role in a group that openly called for the "total eradication of Western civilization." This revelation comes amidst her participation in the 2024 campus takeover at Columbia University, raising concerns about her past affiliations as she steps into a prominent political role. This situation underscores the importance of scrutinizing candidates' backgrounds, especially when they advocate for positions that challenge foundational societal values.
