Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s mayor, set off a firestorm of criticism Wednesday morning with a social media post ostensibly intended to commemorate the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis. It devoted a brief paragraph to condemning Hamas and commiserating with its victims. The rest was a much longer denunciation of Israel’s “ongoing genocide in Gaza,” a “world in which occupation and apartheid continue” and a situation in which “our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.”
In response, Ammiel Hirsch, the president of the New York Board of Rabbis, said the statement was “so offensive to so many Jews that it is hard to describe how offensive it is.” In fact, it’s a moral obscenity. Let me count the ways.
It is obscene in the same way it would have been obscene if the mayor had commemorated the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 last month with a perfunctory nod to the victims of the day, followed by a much longer denunciation of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. What happened on both Sept. 11 and Oct. 7 was undiluted evil, each an unprovoked visit of deliberate and maximalist violence on people who had done nothing to invite that violence other than being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

God Bless ICE!
Let’s kick the bozo African Mandammi out instead. ICE is preventing that African slob from destroying America.
Have an ice day!
Got genocide and apartheid in the same sentence. How clever.
Whoring Zohran, the obscene Ugandan.
Whoring Zohran, the obscene Ugandan.
Egging impressionable and mentally unstable followers on is very dangerous. Jewish people are now targets and as soon as Dem/Socialist/Islamist extremists take political power they may be in mortal danger. There are very few Fettermans to stand up for them and lots of trendy, fashionable highly educated anti-semites to be on the other side.
Yes, his mom always told him he was clever. /S (spit)
I guess they shouldn’t have voted for him, huh?
And a grinning jackass.
He-haww!
They will probably vote for him again. Sometimes party affiliation is more important than what people say in speeches.
