Yesenia Mata
Yesenia Mata promoted hatred of Israel on social media in 2025.
The profilee's statements were made during an extended period of global antisemitism that began with the October 7, 2023, terror attacks, when Hamas murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands and kidnapped hundreds. Israel immediately launched a war against Hamas.
As of February 2026, Mata was listed as a member of the transition team for New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, serving on the Immigrant Justice Committee.
Mamdani has called for dismantling capitalism and promoted hatred of the police. He has also justified Hamas terrorism and glorified terror supporters. On his first day as mayor, he revoked executive orders designed to combat antisemitism, including increased police protection at synagogues, and nullified a ban on city officials to boycott Israel.
Mata has maintained ties to anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour since at least 2025.
Linda Sarsour has been a political mentor to Mamdani since at least 2017. She has expressed support for violence in America and called for Israel's destruction. She endorsed his 2020 run to the New York State Assembly and backed his 2025 mayoral campaign, which she said received significant funding from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
As of February 2026, Mata's LinkedIn said she was the executive director of La Colmena NYC.
As of the same date, Mata's LinkedIn said she was a civil affairs officer in the US Army in Staten Island, New York.
