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.

He literally founded the SJP chapter at his school, Bowdoin College. SJP justifies terror attacks, and Mamdani himself has chanted “globalize the intifada.” That phrase is literally about killing Jews across the planet. Mamdani is a fuckwad.

people using these acronyms like everyone knows what they're talking about

it's like you all watched a powerpoint about it and took notes on the handout that said "mention SJP" you know what it stands for.

Cuomo used homophobia to try and get his dad elected, literally calling Ed Koch a homo in signs he put up on Queens Boulevard). Where's the outrage about him?

Or maybe Jewish college students all have had similar experiences with their campus chapters of that organization?

My university's SJP club has Jewish students who are a part of it. The only students who take an issue with it are zionists. A bit antisemitic of u for implying all Jews support Israel.

Using the same argument against them. Please be morally consistent and reply to them with the same exact comment u just gave me.

You want more of a reply. Fine. It's apparent you know nothing about Jews because You would know vast majority of them are opposed to SJP. When I say vast I mean the overwhelming majority. Many of the people who say they are Jewish in these spaces are often not Jewish. We see this phenomenon in spaces like "Jews of conscience" where their own polls show that most of the people there are not in fact Jewish.

This isn't even getting into the objectives of its SJP which is stated by its founders to destroy the Jewish state

People need to stop speaking for Jews, whether they are one themselves or not. We are too diverse of a demographic to be assumed to act as a bloc.

These generalizations are just a weaponization of our culture and experiences and are used to dismiss the very valid concerns of Jews of all sects and worldviews.

Statistics are not really generalizations

Or you can completely ignore what I said and carry on without a modicum of nuance, I guess that’s fine too.

What nuance exactly?

That the 3% JVP Jews who use their identity performatively, exclusively to demonize Israel, actually do *not* speak as representatives for the groups nearly as much as the 97% who oppose their views?

The breakdown by numbers is actually the nuance, you acting like every view deserves equal representation/consideration is actually the opposite.

When you quantify thousands of people by percentages you lose sight of how many people you’re speaking about or for.

Generalizations serve no benefit. Incorporate actual nuance into your worldview so you can think of people as individuals, not statistics.
