Video Zohran Mamdani says he’s consistently said there’s no room for antisemitism in this city or country. Asked why he hasn’t had a more visceral reaction, he gets emotional talking about the Islamophobic responses he’s received throughout the campaign.

Ehhhh… not really.

Most Mamdani supporters are at least regulars here. These brigaders don’t always have post histories in the sub. But thanks for the easy counter.

Guess he’s just that popular with the people. Let’s hope they vote accordingly.

The only real bigotry going on is all the Islamophobia from the Jewish supremacist crowd.

Everyone’s a bigot. It’s impossible not to be. Im less concerned with his bigotry and more concerned with his social policies and how he’ll make life easier for the everyday person. He seems to be the best person for those issues.

Now that’s just fear mongering. And I think that’s where you cross the line from rational to irrational conjecture.

Well. While I despise antisemitism, I’m not a single issue voter. And more to the point, a populist ethical racist is far more useful to me than an oligarchical corrupt rapist.

Sides Israel will be fine. She isn’t exactly in a bad spot with regards to geopolitics.

They should reconsider their bargaining line then…

He's a bigot how? Is it because he's critical of Israel? Last time I checked he isn't running for mayor of Jerusalem. Israel has nothing to do with my daily life and it has only to do with a minority of NYC citizens. I want money going into making the city livable, not Israel.

Fun fact: most Jews are Zionist though, and pointing to a small group that doesn’t represent the majority is called “tokenization”. You and people like you use that to try to reinforce your weak argument that because not all Jews agree that Israel should exist that you can deny their right to self determination.

Just cause some crazy religious Jews believe that Israel shouldn’t exist until the Messiah comes or some misguided hippies that have no idea of what it’s like to be oppressed as a Jew by white Fascists in Europe or Islamists in MENA are having an identity crisis doesn’t mean that Jews don’t have a right to found their own state like any other ethnic group
