…So it has been maddening to see people claim that Mamdani’s win was a victory for antisemitism…I can certainly understand why Jews who see anti-Zionism and antisemitism as synonymous find Mamdani’s rise alarming. There’s no question that he sympathizes with the Palestinians over the Israelis. New York’s past mayors — even the left-leaning Bill de Blasio — supported Israel reflexively. After the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on war crimes charges, Cuomo joined his defense team. Mamdani, by contrast, has said he’d enforce the warrant if Netanyahu ever comes to New York.
…I thought it was a terrible mistake for Mamdani to try to justify the phrase “globalize the intifada” on a podcast this month. He’s right, of course, that the literal meaning of intifada is not necessarily violent — it translates to uprising or rebellion — but context matters. Mamdani should understand why many Jews find the words threatening…
He has consistently denounced antisemitism, and has spoken movingly about Jewish fear, including on the podcast that tripped him up. But Mamdani shouldn’t give the nervous people he aspires to represent any reason to doubt that he’ll protect them….
Ultimately, though, New York’s Democratic primary wasn’t about Israel, no matter how much Cuomo wanted it to be. Mamdani won because of his relentless focus on affordability and our quality of life, and his ebullience, optimism and authenticity. At a time when the Democratic Party is ossifying into a gerontocracy, its leaders dependent on focus-grouped talking points, he’s young and energetic and comfortable speaking extemporaneously. In a cynical and despairing time, he gave people hope.

what crippled the Times coverage of Hitler and the Nazis was a timidity and deference to authority …the Times let a figure like Guido Enderis—a pitiful ally of some of history’s greatest villains—lead its Berlin bureau during its most consequential decade… The Times’ jaw soon proved a bit wobbly. Over the next two years, the Times allowed a Nazi shop cell to form in its subsidiary, didn’t stop a swastika flag from being flown on the building that housed the Berlin bureau, permitted its German employees to march in a May Day celebration of Hitler, and fired its Jewish photographers from World Wide Photo. When a scheme to hire “Aryan camouflages” to cover for the Jews who continued to toil behind the scenes didn’t work, the Times closed World Wide Photo.
Fixed it
Michelle Goldberg would have made a “Good German.”
The majority of Jewish people in America happen to be leftists. Anything that makes America worse they support wholeheartedly.
Michelle Goldberg Is the kind of Jew who led the other Jews onto the trains.
What next? Should we expect someone like Debbie Wasserman Schultz to proclaim her ‘enthusiastic’ endorsement of Mamdani?
Or maybe Bernie Sanders? Little would surprise me about this new Socialist/Democrat/Progressive Party any more.
Each individual has their own poorly hidden agenda to lobby for. The GOP is nothing perfect, either, ethically speaking, but so far, we haven’t tried to bring an active supporter of Hamas into our Party leadership positions.
Lambs to the slaughter.
A kapo and proud of it is the way I read this disgusting propaganda
Turkey voting for the chef alert.
Just like Schwartz Gyorgy.
And exactly what is their problem?!
You and me both.
Why GOLDEN CALF JEWS love him.
Not any I know.
There’s a certain cohort of American Jews whose mentality is “no enemies to the left, no friends to the right.”
Parse it however u like but it’s been this way since pogroms
Maybe before
Although where I grew up they were more assimilated and less leftist
I really didn’t get it till I lived in Manhattan
It’s funny cause Israelis who leftist usually by nature
Love Trump
Nobody would care except their incredible influence in institutional America and The Blob
Numbers wise they aren’t much except Manhattan and north Miami Beach
Maybe west LA
It is what it is
NYC Jews have since their imoverished beginnings in America as a group have been very successful. Most have become financially secure with a minority becoming quite wealthy.They are at the core of the elite in NYC. Unlike other initially impoverished ethnic groups and for many reasons most have remained Democrats and have embraced “progressive” policies even when those policies appear to be harmful to their own economic and social well being. Their comprehesive political and financial support to the Democrat Party has incubated politicians like DeBlasio, Cuomo, Mamdani and many others. This is not likely to change even if Mamdani is as bad a mayor as most people fear.
There were at least 10 choices in the race of various shades of liberal. Anyone Jew who ranked Mandami is a kapo plain and simple.
My dad grew up in NYC, he was born in 1922. He told me that NYC had the largest population of Jewish people of any city in the world at that time. He said that they were patriotic Americans who were very grateful to be here away from the tyranny in Europe.
