New York Mayor @NYCMayor Mamdani cited the IDF strike on Muhammad Washah today as though Israel killed an innocent journalist. At this point, claiming Washah was not a Hamas combatant is willful ignorance.
“Monsters.” “Dark money.” A hidden hand “turning us against one another.”
Swap “AIPAC” for “Jews” and it’s the oldest antisemitic conspiracy theory in the books. That’s not criticizing a lobby. That’s laundering antisemitism from your podium as Mayor of a city with more than a million Jews. This bullshit is dangerous.
If you want to talk about real monsters let’s start with the North Koreans, Russians, Sudanese, the Iranian regime, and their proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, PIJ — and other terrorist groups who’ve killed scores of Americans.
And @NYCMayor was given an opportunity to dial it back today in response to a question, but he instead read from prepared text to double down. This, combined with how he read from a teleprompter for his “monsters” speech, reminds that his line of attack and the specific language chosen was all very deliberate. None of these comments are a result of him being sloppy while winging it. Wake up folks…this is a concerted campaign.
Russia hits year #5 of war against Ukraine & indiscriminate bombing of Ukrainian civilians. But NYC #antisemite#bigots only focus on #Israel and the #Jews. They seek policies to support Hamas & allow it to continue its brutal authoritarian rule in Gaza. Here’s bigots of the day.
@vickikolomensky No apology is needed. The Ambassador has it right. @jstreetdotorg is not pro Israel. It is an Israel interested group advocating its own political agenda & it is pressuring Israel to adopt it. It’s policies divide the community. He’s right in calling it out.
🚨Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom recently removed Yaacoub Al-Barsh from its “journalists killed” list after Hamas admitted on May 10th he was a commander. But note what never becomes the story: Hamas using press cover for combat. That story they refuse to tell.
“I’ve spoken to congressional colleagues who have privately told me that many things Mr. Piker has said are disgusting.
Yet they’ll say nothing about it in public.”
Josh Gottheimer is one of the first Democrats to take a stand against the embrace of Hasan Piker.
When are more leaders going to speak out against Piker’s bigotry?
@owenjonesjourno The real extremism is obsessing over the crimes of the only Jewish state in the world when there are a dozen Muslim countries committing 10x worse atrocities than Israel, but you remain silent and indifferent.
Your obsession with Jews is transparent and quite disgusting.
@CMShaunAbreu hoping you’re going to vote to override @NYCMayor’s veto of school buffer zone legislation. Students don’t need to be targeted by screaming masked protesters. Let’s keep schools safe.
@vickikolomensky When is the Democratic Party leadership going to wake up to the fact that the Democratic Socialists are a different party with conflicting values? Are they ever going to defend the Democratic Party or will they let the DSA MAGA it into oblivion?
This isn’t a principled vision, it’s J Street capitulating to the Squad and crafting a recipe to undermine the U.S.-Israel partnership.
America’s interests are advanced by a strong and secure Israel, including helping our democratic ally protect civilians from missile attacks.
Pro-Israel Americans want the US to deepen our ties with Israel, partnering with our democratic ally to confront shared threats & seize shared opportunities for peace.
J Street wants the opposite, arguing to undermine an alliance that advances 🇺🇸 interests & helps keep 🇮🇱 safe.
Antisemitic crime on Congregation Ramath Orah at West 110th Street near Broadway on Thursday. Speak out against antisemitism in our neighborhood.
