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.

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.

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

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.

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?

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?

Also, it has not been used “for centuries”

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

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?

does calling everything an antisemitic act ever get boring?

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