@arachnidgripper@JacktheFate also it’s to ‘combat antisemitism,’ but considering the lack of antisemitism having any real material impact on nyc jews, let alone the diaspora in general, and considering that antisemitism is being defined by these orgs/the nypd, it will result in cracking down on antizionism
@arachnidgripper@JacktheFate this is one of the institutions being funded in the most direct manner, though there are more through more indirect means. tisch is a rabid zionist who is infamous for cracking down on antizionist activity. park east synagogue most notably hosted west bank land sales.
@arachnidgripper@JacktheFate gave millions to zionists, more than even the previous mayor did, kept tisch in charge, did nothing to combat indigenous land sales and condemned those who protested them.
@reximexx@aimeemarie1988@JacktheFate what would that accomplish? the US is already against iran. doing so would just be virtual signaling at best and helping manufacture consent for another invasion that kills far more iranians than iran itself ever could at worst.
@gleebzoinko@MaHomeless15@lyres_ “warsaw was destroyed, but at least they ✨spread awareness✨”
do you realize how fucking ridiculously cruel you sound when you apply this to any other similar context? should the oppressed just lie down like dogs while the oppressors get to decide the terms of their existence?
@eugRoe@MaHomeless15@lyres_ “heh it’s so funny you’ll never see the destruction of a genocidal ethnostate!” yes, you are a bloodthirsty, racist worm for mocking the idea of opposing the continuation of israel who is not worth replying to further
@entoliberal@Rippie856717@SlowWriter7190@DrMJMrBoh the nakba was not a simple “independence war.” they were slaughtering and displacing millions of innocent palestinians. this is like framing the genocide of native americans living in what is now the US as simply buying land from them or having minor violent conflicts.
@SlowWriter7190@entoliberal@Rippie856717@DrMJMrBoh what exactly is not ‘balanced’ about saying that israel was founded on ethnic cleansing? why would you not reject ‘peace’ with a tiny population of people who intend to take the majority of your land? why mention the actions of arab states that aren’t palestinians?
@MaHomeless15@eugRoe@lyres_ 50 years ago you would have been saying the same thing about apartheid south africa. you are not worth seriously engaging with
@MaHomeless15@eugRoe@lyres_ yes, in order for palestine to be free israel would need to no longer exist. this is very simple. how else will the land that was stolen from the palestinians be returned? how else would israeli colonization end?
@eugRoe@MaHomeless15@lyres_ notice how you ignored everything else in my reply and tried to frame this one point as israel graciously giving them water/electricity infrastructure and not as a way for them to maintain control over gaza
@eugRoe@MaHomeless15@lyres_ the people that are commiting a genocide against them, control electricity/water, and decide who/what gets in and out of palestine can be more accurately described as ruling with an iron fist than the people who fight against them.
@halehagg@umeprobdupree@Hateallcons you are by definition promoting electoralism. it would be one thing if you weren’t promoting electoralism for democrats, but you are.
do you think democrats don’t/wouldn’t ruin organizing for socialist/anti imperialist causes?
@fafafvd@Torolto@vhsgrrlx@Reefergrlfriend -mamdani funds the defense of synagogues, which are already defended well and some notably host indigenous land sales in nyc, as well as virtually all promoting birthright and israel across the world

“guys le hecking nuance!! he def isn’t just obama 2.0 guys!!”
@halehagg@umeprobdupree@Hateallcons why would the feds not want you to participate in electoralism. why would they want you to become disillusioned with and potentially funnel political energy outside of the electoralism. that would obviously be bad for them
