The campaign being waged online to deny the reality that 9 children were killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza this weekend is appalling.
Yahya, Rakan, Raslan, Gebran, Eve, Rival, Sayden, Luqman & Sidra were killed. There is no denying this horrific truth.

6 🧵s to make sense of Israel/Palestine:

1) A history Palestinian non-violent resistance
2) A history of Hamas
3) A history of Israel's ethnic cleansing Palestinians
4) A history of Israel's wars on Gaza
5) A history of Gaza
6) A history of Israel’s use of disproportionate force

You lost a primary and Mamdani is going to beat you in the general by like 80 points because you’re lazy, corrupt, entitled and thought you were owed it - literally every single thing the American public is repulsed by.

Your legacy is nothing more than an out of touch loser.

[Jacob Rubashkin @JacobRubashkin]

Mamdani winning is bad for Democrats because now Republicans might call them socialists, something that has never happened before.

[Siddharth @DearthOfSid]

Indian media usually jumps to celebrate anyone with even a remote Indian connection winning anything at all but alas, Zohran Mamdani is a Muslim socialist.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Zohran Mamdani was the only one who said he wouldn't go to Israel, and he'll represent New Yorkers in New York.

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

Stephen Colbert, Bill Ackman, AIPAC, Jonathan Chait the NYT ed board and the entire racist, colonial, military industrial complex could NOT defeat the candidate who has spoken out repeatedly and vociferously out for Palestinian lives: Zohran KWAME Mamdani!

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

After watching Mamdani v Cuomo, any smart Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 should recognize that taking the Biden line on Israel is a political disaster.

[Cynthia Nixon @CynthiaNixon]

Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim democratic socialist has won the NYC primary for Mayor!!!!!!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani and his thousands of grassroots supporters for their extraordinary campaign. You took on the political, economic and media Establishment- and you beat them. Now it’s on to victory in the general election.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

didn’t even call him something like “commie mamdani”, absolutely lost the sauce

[Rana Ayyub @RanaAyyub]

The largest Jewish population outside Tel Aviv is in NYC. Zohran Mamdani spoke out against antisemitism yet stood firm on Gaza. No hedging, no moral cowardice — and now he’s winning the primary. That’s what principled politics looks like.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

The amount of Islamophobia being thrown around this morning from national leaders, especially from the Republican side, towards Zohran Mamdani is dangerous and inexcusable.

[Akshay Marathe @AkshayMarathe]

Zohran Mamdani is of Indian-origin. Yet, out of sheer Islamophobia, Hindu groups in NYC campaigned hard against him. Now he’s going to be Mayor and these groups lost a chance to have a friend in City Hall. The bigotry of Hindus is going to be their undoing in India and abroad.

[Kashif Chaudhry @KashifMD]

Mamdani’s victory in the most Jewish city in America — despite a relentless smear campaign by militant Zionists — is a clear referendum on the lie that criticizing Israel equals antisemitism.

New Yorkers rejected the antisemitic notion that opposing genocide is the same as hating Jews. They understand that denouncing a genocidal regime is not hate — it’s a moral imperative.

Bravo, New York. 🗽✊🏼

[The Broletariat @Scholf_A_Loaf]

Mamdani is important for a number of reasons but I’m not a New Yorker and I’m not a staunch reformist. Mamdani is important to the nation because his success will beg the question “Well, why not in my city too?” Ideas spread and gain popularity when we can see ourselves in them

[IcyVert @IcyVert]

It’s rather disheartening that 70% of the pushback on this app about this Mamdani guy winning is that people are upset that he’s Muslim

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Mamdani wins because of overwhelming support from white, college-educated voters.

Stephen Miller: I blame immigrants!

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

I’m actually astonished that other journalists have not lost it with Miller and called him out for his bullshit. We need more of this. The constant lying and dissembling is unbearable.
