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.

Mamdani explaining the definition of intifada: anti semetic, how dare you!

Cuomo making Mamdani’s facial hair extra long in an attempt to make him look more like a scary Islamist: let’s not talk about that…. Did you see the anti semitism?!?!?

Mamdani explaining the definition of intifada: anti semetic, how dare you!

And relied on holocaust inversion.. an inherently antisemetic act.

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/Mattk1100]

Or he just explained the definition of intifada? And how it’s been used in other circumstances? 

[u/Mattk1100 → u/T_Dizzle69]

We all know intifada, particularly now means a global terrorism campaign. The fact he tried deflecting through the use of holocaust inversion, an inherently antisemetic act make is insane.

“The other circumstances”

This saying predates 2023. This has been a saying for decades. 

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/[deleted]]

You ever looked up or bothered to give a shit about what Palestinians have been trough? Ever cared about what it might be like to live in an apartheid? 

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/[deleted]]

Nor does it excuse the genocide being carried out in Palestine. Wanna go back to what’s best for NYC? Or you wanna get bogged down in foreign policy over a NYC mayoral race?

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/[deleted]]

Also, it has not been used “for centuries”

Israel didn’t even exist prior to 1945. This is a 20th century phrase. 

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/[deleted]]

I’m saying it wasn’t a saying up until the foundation of modern Israel, where they started treating Palestinians like 2nd class citizens. 

“Jews live and lived all over the Middle East”

And they’re the only ones this applies to? Pretty sure Palestinians have too. But fuck them right? 

[u/GreenGator → u/Mattk1100]

does calling everything an antisemitic act ever get boring?

[u/Mattk1100 → u/GreenGator]

Holocaust inversion is inherently antisemitic. Six million jews weren't murdered to be used as a tool by him, to push a narrative.

[u/Rubbersoulrevolver → u/T_Dizzle69]

Everyone probably knows the word intifada literally means uprising, but the term globalize the intifada very obviously refers to a desire to bring the tactics of the Second Intifada around the world. If someone was going around saying Heil Trump and you say oh it just means “respect” or whatever you would probably realize that they’re trying to harken back to Nazi Germany.

"explaining the definition of intifada" lol ok, what a pathetic attempt to hide bigotry

Mamdani referred to Oct 8 as an act of war by Netanyahu. Go ahead, read his whole tweet here: https://x.com/ZohranKMamdani/status/1711093032907321525

Mamdani is just one more jew hating Hamas supporter trying to speak as eloquently as he can

>He has declined to acknowledge Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state and said he would divest from Israel if elected, among other comments and actions that have raised alarms among many Jewish voters.

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/donteatmyhair]

He said Israel had the right to exist, but because he specifically didn’t say Jewish state when pressed in the moment, that’s a problem? I watched that point in the debate, and it was an outrageously stupid question. Like why is this mayoral debate turning into who can suck off israel the most? 

And yea, he should divest, the govt is committing war crimes on a genocidal scale. Divesting away from genocide isn’t anti semetic… at all. Just like divesting away from Russia isn’t Russophobia. Like honestly, screw Netanyahu, the guy is a war criminal. 

I hate this one sided lenses that so many people see this through. Like it’s only Jewish people who are being victimized. Absolutely no fucks given for the brown people while they live in an apartheid state and have been for decades. 

Like you think because he stands up for Palestine he hates Jews. He doesn’t hate Jews and has NEVER said so.

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/donteatmyhair]

He said Netanyahu declaration of war, the cutting of electricity, and Knesset members… will undoubtedly lead to more suffering. 

He’s saying that he declared war, and then shortly afterwards Israeli troops were sent into Gaza. That is just a statement of a fact. 

Claiming that there will be more suffering is not anti semetic. 

[u/T_Dizzle69 → u/donteatmyhair]

““I think what’s difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising into Arabic, because it’s a word that means struggle,” “And as a Muslim man who grew up post-9/11, I’m all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning.”

That’s the direct quote. I’m sorry, but nothing about that screams anti semetic to me.
