If Zohran Mamdani wins the race, will NYC start looking like many cities in the UK and the upper Midwest, run by Islamic supremacists and Jew/Israel haters? Is it this cut and dry? It must be bad if Politico is doing stories on it
Zohran Mamdani defends staying off Holocaust Remembrance resolution
Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani said Friday that his public statements should outweigh his actions on non-binding resolutions, following POLITICO reporting the mayoral candidate did not sign onto measures commemorating the Holocaust and honoring Israel.
“I have condemned the Holocaust every year. This is something that is very clear to me and every New Yorker, and is something that I’ve made clear mostly in public statements, which is where most New Yorkers are actually engaging with their politics,” Mamdani said at an unrelated press conference.
Andrew Epstein, a spokesperson for Mamdani’s campaign, shared the lawmaker’s social media posts commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 and said Mamdani has supported more funding for Holocaust survivors, including by signing onto Assemblymember Nily Rozic’s budget letter advocating to allocate more to a state program for survivors.
Mamdani did not sponsor the annual resolution for Holocaust Remembrance Day any of the last four years. He was only listed as a sponsor in 2021, his first year in office.
Is he a bad guy, or, is it just something he missed, as he’s said that he’s missed multiple votes on resolutions? Is he a problem?
Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, a left-leaning group that has co-endorsed Mamdani and Lander, defended him.
Yeah, well, they are pretty hardcore leftist, and have acted more like an Israel hating group than anything else. The NY Post editorial board has thoughts on Mamdani
New York has seen more than its share of flawed pols over the years, but no major mayoral candidate has ever been as morally bankrupt — and antisemitic — as Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.
No way should he be allowed anywhere near City Hall. (snip)
In the past Mamdani has cheered similar resolutions for everything from Neurodiversity Pride Day, Juneteenth and Lunar New Year to Women’s History Month, Disabilities Awareness Day and Korean American Day.
His spokesman, Andrew Epstein, insists Mamdani backs the one on Holocaust Memorial Day too but wants to “narrow down” the number he signed.
Right. He just happened to draw the line at recognizing Nazi Germany’s murder of 6 million Jews.
I mean, sure, he’s sent out tweets, but, could have been staff. He refuses to put his name on an actual resolution, though.
In fact, he’s already made it clear how much he despises the Jewish state: On Oct. 8, 2023, the day after Jews suffered their worst horror since the Holocaust, he condemned Israel.
He vows that, as mayor, he’d arrest Benjamin Netanyahu should the Israeli leader dare set foot in New York.
That wasn’t in the Politico piece.
Set aside the rest of Mamdani’s socialist agenda, and even his support for defunding cops in 2020: The shameless Jew-hate is all you really need to know about him.
Yeah, well, Democrats keep flirting with all this garbage.
A lack of support for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians is not anti-semitic. But MAGAts now toss around Jew-hater and anti-semite like they used to toss around swastikas during the reign of Forty-Five.
According to the International Criminal Court, the charges against Netanyahu are: Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024.
and
There is no genocide of “Palestinians” (h/t Yassar Arafat).
Why do you believe and mindlessly parrot corporate media’s evidence-free claims? What’s in it for you?
Teach slurs the Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, typing “pretty hardcore leftist, and have acted more like an Israel-hating group”.
The group says, regarding Israel:
MAGAts in 2017: “Jews Won’t Replace Us!”
Today, MAGAts use Jew-hater and anti-semite as a slur against anyone who questions Israel’s actions.
Does Mr teach REALLY believe that American Jews are Jew-haters and anti-semites?
American Jews are typically more liberal and vote 70-77% for Democratic presidential candidates. Ouch. There are nearly 8 million Jews in the U.S.
“Jews Won’t Replace Us!” chanted Mr trump’s “good people” in Charlottesville in 2017.
Does the United States have a Jew-hater and anti-Semite for president?
Yes…
Says ED right after simping for “Palestinians” led by Hamas — the same Hamas whose charter has the destruction of Israel, the Jewish state, baked right in. Doesn’t get more Jew-hatey than that.
Why you continue to attack your own credibility is anyone’s guess.
Really? President Trump’s oldest daughter is a convert to Judaism, and his son-in-law is Jewish. During his first term, that Jewish son-in-law helped negotiate the Abrahamic Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and several Muslim nations.
During his current term, he ended the restrictions that President Biden put on military exports to Israel, and how those weapons can be used. For Mr Trump to be a “Jew-hater and anti-Semite,” he sure hides it well!
Or, perhaps, just perhaps, the distinguished Mr Dowd is wrong in his assessment?
“The distinguished” MR. Dowd has been wrong about everything for the last ten years. He is the only one not noticing.LOL. Well, him and moat of the commie news media. They’re still in denial.
Yes, really. Mr teach is slurring a Jewish group, comprised of actual Jews, while the honorable Mr Dana dismmisses trump’s apparent anti-Semitism because his son-in-law is Jewish.
And wasn’t trump just celebrating Islam with Syria, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar, while not visiting Israel? We were told that Islam was the antithesis of Judaism.
New York has the world’s second largest Jewish population, behind only Tel Aviv.
Qatar is THE main financial backer in the Arab world giving Hamas over 400 million lin 2023.
They are trying now to polish their rep by giving The Pope and Emperor Trump the First VA 400? Million dollar plane that they have been trying to sell since 2020
