@SethDillon@DLoesch The endless barrage of “fair criticism” of Israel in contrast to the zero fair criticism of Russia’s assault on Ukraine, Iran’s massacre of their own people, Sudan’s death toll of children… I could go on. No Jews, no fair criticism.
@DomingueJordan@TradeUnionJake It’s beyond that - any mention of the words Muslim, Islam et al in any less than reverential context is called racism. Any mention of 9/11 is racism. No other religion or group is treated this way. It’s been a deliberate campaign over years.
@NickyFrank30 Mamdani’s base is young lefty whites who think socialism and his 3rd World-ey persona are cool. Make him uncool. He’s scaring your parents and grandparents. He’s freezing out black people. And ARE YOU BETTER OFF SINCE HE TOOK POWER? No you are emphatically not.
This is directly related to the Democrats embracing the DSA.
Normie Dems have stopped donating, or their donating directly to the Normie Dem candidate to make sure their money isn't going to anti-Jew, anti-Black candidates.
Over the years, I've developed a lot of contacts among 9/11 families because of all the 9/11 tributes I had to write as a reporter in the 2010s, and while it isn't surprising that the MAGA ones hate the mayor, I'm actually amazed at how many of those who were anti-Bush, pro-Obama now HATE Mamdani.
Nearly all of them live outside NYC and aren't online, so it doesn't show up in voters or in the vibes.
I'm writing something about this for September.
Just spoke at the End Jew Hatred rally.
Mamdani’s “war criminal” video didn’t just libel Jews, it helped create the climate that led to a stabbing on the Upper West Side of an Asian American and a Jewish American.
I called out his decision to host Mahmoud Khalil, the keffiyeh commercial, and the endless genocide rhetoric.
Didn’t even need to get into his wife’s social media or for calling Jews monsters just last month.
This is the mayor of New York.
If any other Mayor was suffering street demonstrations calling for his resignation and/or arrest it would be front page of the NY Times. Instead they’re yet again hyping the DSA’s wins from last month. Unbelievable.
@ingelramdecoucy She’s in a primary battle with a guy backed by left elitists - Sanders, Warren, AOC - from the east coast. Why shouldn’t she use that label? The biggest danger to the world now is the Left-Jihadist alliance.
The Left response to this will be “Oh no, they’re going to call radical jihadists murderers just because they murdered someone.” Their apologists in the media will do the same.
BREAKING: Berlin police have identified a suspect in the Pride attack and say he has ties to Islamic "circles" in the German capital. https://t.co/gaWp8wPCzh
She wasn’t being racist.
She was being honest.
And thank God for her.
Most people are too chickenshit to say anything. Which is what most of us are thinking.
Imagine if a Jewish candidate went around town playing Hava Nagila, and speaking Hebrew and Yiddish to everybody.
Progressives would lose their fucking minds.
He’s back because nationally, socialist candidates are being exposed for the radicals they truly are, and Zohran is their pitchman for “aw shucks, we just like having social security and a fire department.” But it’s not playing in the heartland.
@TaliGoldsheft Mamdani’s speech: I condemn terrorism including state terrorism like what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank and Netanyahu is a war criminal yadda yadda…
@LeeKuanYimby The Democratic Party acknowledges that dinosaurs once roamed Maine and if any of their descendants are with us today thanks to a DNA thing like in Jurassic Park they are welcome to squat here.
@theenjineer Mamdani’s speech would be like, “Violence is always wrong, like for instance the genocide Israel has committed in Gaza and the settler violence and Netanyahu’s war crimes” yadda yadda…
