Hi! I'm just here for the ads.

[political jew 🏴 @PoliticalJewTT]

All of this is completely irrelevant. It's like right-wingers listing crimes committed by immigrants when asked about why they called George Soros a puppet master pulling strings.

You used an antisemitic trope. Apologize for it.

[Jonathan Eric Lewis @LewisJonathanE]

Some people are acting shocked that the guy who rapped in favor of Hamas fundraisers has "crossed the line" into antisemitism

Come on, everyone

This is who he is

[🇺🇸 Jason Curtis Anderson @JCAndersonNYC]

Zohran his whole life: “Israel is evil”

Zohran campaigning: “why do you keep asking me about Israel? My interests are to serve the City of New York. These questions are racist.”

Zohran as Mayor: “AIPAC are monsters.”

[Yehuda Teitelbaum @chalavyishmael]

🚨 In the midst of doubling down on his insane AIPAC rant earlier this week, Zohran Mamdani cited Hamas operative Ahmed Wishah as an innocent Al Jazeera "journalist" killed by Israel.

We're talking about a man praised as a mujahid by Palestinian accounts, who posted photos of himself with weapons, and who was identified by Israel as a Hamas operative involved in sniper attacks.

How much does this man hate Jews?

Enough to stand in front of cameras and lie through his teeth.

The craziest part is that unless the @nypost happens to pick this up, most New Yorkers will never hear about it.

Absolutely disgraceful.

[Rabbi Poupko @RabbiPoupko]

Zohran Mamdani is tripling down on his very dangerous and violent rhetoric, blaming @AIPAC for regional conflicts in the Middle East.

This is dangerous, unprecedented and unacceptable.

[Dovi Safier @safier]

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC "monsters who move dark money." These are phrases that invoke old anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy theories. What do you say to those who are concerned that the language you used is dangerous?

@NYCMayor : Now, I want to be very clear. We're talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than a thousand Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire. Even an @AlJazeera journalist, Ahmed, was shot—was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike.

And when I am speaking about @AIPAC , I'm speaking about an organization that has been supportive of this status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine, but frankly, through much of the region. And it is a status quo for immorality, it is one that I will not accept.

And when it comes to the way in which they defend this status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York-13.

Oftentimes they also support this status quo through dark money, by filtering money that would have previously been directly from AIPAC, now through other shell organizations whose identities of their contributors are only made clear after an election. And I think that it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

[Dovi Safier @safier]

Imagine any other elected official, asked about language that frightened a minority community, answering: let me tell you why they had it coming.

When they show you who they are, believe them.

[Sam 🌐 🇺🇸 @neoliberalpet]

@RabbiPoupko @DarializaforNY @EspaillatNY Chevalier is a disaster candidate, but this is not the way to confront someone. She actually has terrible answers on these issues. No need to scream for 5 minutes at her.

[Nancy Rommelmann @NancyRomm]

I saw this happen in Portland, when a barista phoned her boss to ask if she had to serve a man "who has on a MAGA cap." Yes, the boss said, after which barista posted on Facebook that her boss was a fascist. When confronted about this, barista curled up in a ball behind the bar

[𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖊 🕯 @atlanticesque]

I disagree with Paladino on a lot, but this is basically true. And it’s not a secret!

Mamdani and his allies have explicitly stated they want to hold landlords underwater with rent stabilization until they’re forced to liquidate, and left-wing nonprofits can take the buildings.

[Sam 🌐 🇺🇸 @neoliberalpet]

@Noahpinion When you get to know Polish people, you realize exactly why this is: they lived through and adjacent to socialism for nearly a century, and they hated it. It's a population full of people with a deep commitment to--not just a grudging acceptance of--capitalism.

[Tali Goldsheft @TaliGoldsheft]

Would be swell if other elected Dems who aren’t Jewish could have the basic decency to also call this out.

Thank you @RepJoshG 🙏

[Jon Levine @LevineJonathan]

Truly wild stuff from a local NYC coffee shop — the city has become a very broken place

Can't help but also notice Dan Goldman's thoroughly dignified response

Also wondering @TheLeoTerrell @HarmeetKDhillon if this legal

[wanye @xwanyex]

One of the crazy things about the New York City housing market is that there is an entire category of apartments (google HDFC), of which this one is almost certainly included, that are both income restricted and yet still cost far more than anybody below the income thresholds could possibly ever afford.

Which means that New York City literally has a special category of apartments that rich people with no income (and nobody else) can buy cheaply.

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

It's been three days since Mayor Mamdani took the stage to demonize and denigrate his Jewish constituents. I initially didn’t say anything because I felt certain he would retract his incendiary comments or at least explain them.

I was wrong.

This is the kind of bigoted conspiracy mongering that you expect from unhinged streamers or white supremacists. It’s not the language that we should expect from the mayor whose jurisdiction suffers from the highest levels of antisemitism of any city in America.

This is not a principled disagreement. This is prejudice pure and simple.

It is deliberate, dangerous and disgraceful.

[Frank McCormick @CBHeresy]

Wait, what?! You’re telling me that the best use of our military is killing people in neighboring countries that export drugs to America but under no circumstances should Israel be killing people in neighboring countries that shoot rockets at them?

[Mark Suster @msuster]

100% this. I have friends who still support Mamdani and find him “charming.”

Please know you are alienating your Jewish friends by not recognizing how blatantly he publicly despises us. If he targeted Indians, Black people, Asians, Latinos … people would call him out.

[Tomer Almagor @almagor_tomer]

Mamdani is usually careful not to cross the line from harsh (and often false) criticism of Israel into outright antisemitism, but this time there is no other reasonable way to interpret his remarks.

Notice how he describes AIPAC's funding as "dark money," invokes the age-old conspiracy trope of Jewish influence over centers of power, and then effectively blames it for America's economic problems.

Straight out of the antisemitic playbook.
