This has been the first time in Zohran Mamdani’s adult life that he hasn’t wanted to talk about Israel. To obsess over its sins, real and imagined; to destroy it; to expel it from the club of nations. This was also the first time he has run for mayor of New York.
Mr. Mamdani’s victory in Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary is said to have nothing to do with his “foreign policy.” The socialist spoke about rent and grocery prices.
But before all that, Mr. Mamdani was distinguished from the crowded candidate field by his devoted Democratic Socialists of America activist core. They were energized not by the candidate he would later become, but by the anti-Israel obsessive he has always been—a member in good standing of the pre- and post-Oct. 7, 2023, protest movements.
Even the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust was for Mr. Mamdani an occasion for anti-Israel propaganda. He began on Oct. 8 with perfect moral equivalence: “I mourn the hundreds of people killed across Israel and Palestine in the last 36 hours.” Then his statement pivoted to criticism of Israel’s self-defense, and next came libel: “The path toward a just and lasting peace can only begin by ending the occupation and dismantling apartheid.”
By Oct. 13 Mr. Mamdani said Israel was “on the brink of genocide,” and he was arrested while protesting against Israel, not Hamas. He now pledges to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York.
Mr. Mamdani co-founded the Bowdoin College chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the national group that would instruct its chapters on Oct. 8 to celebrate the “historic win for the Palestinian resistance.”
He graduated in 2014, and by 2017 Mr. Mamdani was pursuing an abortive rap career.

NY Jews voting for Maddamni is like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving
Zohran and his Zohrani freeloaders are going to be the first Muzzies to really benefit and clean up on their attack on the WTC. WE HAVE FORGOTTEN.
They say Zohran Mamdani is the Future of the Democrat Party!
Like Haman in the Book of Esther, The Dems are the Jews’ enemy.
A lot of NYC young white cat lady support for the communist jihadist. I am convinced if Trump issued an executive order that anyone in therapy will not be allowed to vote, NYC would have a Republican mayor for the rest of time
Zohran Mamdani - Mr. Voter Buyer
Cuomo - Mr. Paws
The result was to be expected.
The Democrats are the party of anti semitism today.
My guess is it will be a long long time and take many insults and possibly worse before most secular Jews in America can admit this to themselves.
Most Orthodox Jews recognize it already.
Excellent analogy.
It wouldn't matter what the ostensible subject of the interview was. Whatever was the issue, the reporter would make Mamdami the issue, and the Republican politician would be forced, on live TV, to answer questions about every aspect of Mamdami's policies and pronouncements and positions. This would go on non-stop, without letup, for as long as Mamdami is a candidate, and for as long as he is in office.
That is, if the party affiliations were reversed.
Liberals/Democrats/Socialists have a mental disorder. It is called “cognitive dissonance.” According to AI:
“Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort experienced when holding conflicting beliefs, ideas, or values, or when behavior clashes with those beliefs. This psychological tension motivates individuals to reduce the discomfort, often by changing their thoughts, justifying their behavior, or avoiding information that creates the conflict.”
There is no other explanation.
Won’t stop them from doing it. Most New York Jews have “vote Democrat” hardwired into their brains
Perfect description of my SIL and family. We don’t discuss anything political at her request. Since we only see them about once a year this isn’t hard to do.
WE HAVE FORGOTTEN.
Only Liberal New Yorkers have forgotten.
Chuck Schumer and Jerry Nadler have both endorsed Mamdani for NYC mayor.
Reminds me of Jews who voted for Hitler. Zohran talks well but in the end he can not rule or lead the city out of her many problems.
Why do Jews have a tough time reading the room? It’s time to leave NYC.
Reaping and sowing comes to mind.
NYC needs a quick rescue or it will die like Detroit
some folks think that beause NYC has so much business and commerce that it will survive just fine, thank you
but business and commerce means money and money does not care where it resides so long as it “feels” safe
NYC will not be safe for money just as it will not be safe for people under a communist/ IslamoNazi regime
the money, commerce, business, jobs will flee, run away so fast you won’t see their tail lights on the internet
EXACTLY!!!!!!
