@HARPER04_5@Deb_Slater17@NBA Was horrible. People can be so lame. Iโm a huge Knicks fan but as a Rutgers grad I have been loving how your well your son has been doing. (Of course as long as the Knicks win the series ๐)
@ComfortablySmug Iโm used to my friend @bethanyshondark posting the pic I send her each time sheโs in the post but to now see smug post it as well made my day. ๐ (And Mazel tov on your baby)
Zohran Mamdani claims he is boycotting the Israel Day Parade because he opposes the current Israeli government.
We all know thatโs bullshit, @NYCMayor.
Every New York City mayor for the past six decades understood that attending was not an endorsement of a particular policy or prime minister. It was a recognition that Israel matters to a huge portion of New Yorkโs Jewish community.
Mamdaniโs decision is not about the Israeli government. Itโs about signaling to his base that support for Israel places you outside the boundaries of acceptable politics.
And that is the real message being sent here: if you are among the overwhelming majority of American Jews who believe Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state, you donโt matter.
A leader worthy of New York would look at the surge in antisemitism and say: I may disagree with the Israeli government, but Jewish New Yorkers are an indispensable part of this city, and I will stand with them.
Zohran Mamdani is sending a clear message: Jewish New Yorkers with the โwrong politicsโ (i.e., supporters of Israel) arenโt welcome in New York City.
@JCMacriNBA Well deserved. Jon itโs been really cool to have followed you since the night Emma sang the anthem in Nov 2019. I recently checked who started that game. Taj Gibson, Marcus Morris, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and Frank Ntilikina. Just amazing what Rose has done.
My daughter sang the anthem at the Knicks game 11/16/19. Starting for the Knicks that night: Taj Gibson, Marcus Morris Sr, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and Frank Ntilikina. What a difference 6 seasons later. Go NY go!
@NYCMayor Expulsion my ass. The Arab countries that attacked Israel โLeave your homes. Weโre going to kill all the Jews there and then you can come backโ
