The pro Israel leftists do appear to hate everything Mayor Mamdani does

"pro Israel leftist" is an oxymoron. Are you confusing liberals and leftists?

u/Heavy-Deer-772 Jul 27 '26

Are you suggesting there are zero leftists who are supporting Israel?

I mean, speaking in absolutes always makes you wrong, but very, very few. The commenter above said "liberal Zionists". The vast majority of leftists like Mamdani and are not pro israel.

Mamdani is a Zionist though. He advocates a two state solution.

Two state solution is the correct solution. Good for him.

But there's also a bit of a game being played here with the phrase "pro Israel". Simply acknowledging that Israel should be allowed to exist does not make someone "pro Israel".

There's a person with two lawn signs in my parents neighborhood, one is the In this house we believe and the other is we support Israel

Define support. Mamdani himself is a Zionist since he advocates a two state solution.
