How exactly is Mamdani involved in this incident?

    He's supporting jews in new york, so that means he's supporting jews in israel

    Fair enough. Zionists, not just "Jews," though.

    @yuki_gassen @Bane_Killgrind Supporting Zionists (which mamdani does) is the opposite of supporting Jews. Zionism put Jews in danger and present their existence in their countries as not legitimate.

    I'm really not convinced of the direct relationship between what he is doing in New York, and these Zionist Israelis in Israel.

    I'm more convinced that this is misinformation by conservatives against a leftist that has a long history of pro-palestine activism, BDS etc

    Yes, I concur. A better takeaway might be the clear evidence of the limitations of electoral politics, especially in the US. Not that Mamdani is now Bibi's BFF.

  • Yeah.

    That said there's absolutely problems with citing special interest group articles instead of more academic sources, and the data collected by the police for the statistics they release is inherently biased, without even getting into the discussion on police departments that receive training from Israeli programs. I haven't seen anyone really talking about how to change that.
