New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani

Such intellectual dishonesty and disingenuousness does NOT merit a response- other than:

GTFOH



We. Told. Them. So.

Unfortunately, it's true.

Israel was of course established after WW2 for the displaced Jews of central Europe. Instead of taking territory from Germany for the new state (too many ethnic Germans in America), the United Nations led by the US punished the Palestinians by seizing their ancestral lands. As was asked by them at the time, 'What did we do wrong?'

Totally wrong. Before the 20th Century, the Jews in the Levant languished under Ottoman misrule and Muslim racism.

Diaspora Jews in Europe were more prosperous under the relatively benign antisemitism of the Christians. It wasn’t great, but European Jews weren’t as oppressed as their stay-at-home cousins.

Enter the original Zionists. They argued that land in the Middle East was relatively cheap and with the rising Jew-hate in Europe maybe the richer European Jews should try moving back home. At the same time poor European Jews were emigrating to the United States for the same reason.

Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 as a Jewish enclave outside Arab Jaffa. The Jewish population of British Palestine steadily grew during the 20’s and 30’s as the fascist storm clouds gathered in Europe. But the Jews weren’t stealing land from the Arabs, they were buying worthless land from absentee Arab landlords.

The ancestors of many of today’s Palestinians came to Palestine at this time from Arabia and Egypt to earn money in the booming economy when the Jews revitalized the region.

Israel wasn’t given to the Jews in 1948 to compensate them for the Holocaust. It was built by the sweat of Jewish labor in the decades before, and by taking in other Mizrahi Jews driven out of neighboring countries.

Remember King David's hotel?

Unfortunately, it's true.

The State of Israel was reinvented out of necessity (due to persecution); full stop.

The Jews who originally went about reinventing Israel did so in a modest & pragmatic manner: buying and improving land and strengthening / reestablishing their presence through immigration (re-naturalization? / repatriation?), - and by "encouraging" the British to leave.

The partition of Mandatory Palestine (a LoN / British invention) was acceptable to the Jews, and they established the original borders of the Jewish state of Israel along the lines of the partition.

That ^ is where it should have ended. But the intolerant Arabs / Muslims weren’t having it, and they attempted to “take all” of the former British Mandated Palestine (as in: “winner take all”) through war, bloodshed, and force of arms.

Yes, the Palestinian Jews did bomb the HQ of the British colonial authority in an attempt to drive them out.

No, Mamdani is discriminating against a particular demographic,

Nope. His plan is to raise taxes on all the rich, not just the white ones.

also this jackass is punishing a demographic for being successful, robbing the assets to give to the undeserving and lazy.......

Asking the most successful members of society to give back their fair share to the country that enabled them to become what they are is not "punishment", it's asking them to be decent Americans. And you know, most people who actually are self-made billionaires support the Democrats. The ones who say things like you did here are mostly people like Trump who were born on third base and think they hit a triple.

Communism..... plain and simple.........

Words have meanings. Nothing Mamdani has endorsed meets the definition of communism. Nothing.

Anyone whom supports this vicious Muslim is flat out greedy and lazy..........

Trump is flat out greedy and lazy and he doesn't support Mamdani. Boom, proof you're wrong.

“We” is / are all the decent, intelligent individuals who voted for Hillary in 2016, and Kamala in 2024, as well as voting straight Democratic Party every election.

“Them” is / are all the deplorable, ignorant scumbags who voted for DonOld & the MAGAt republicans AND those who voted third party AND those who protested the Democratic Party’s candidates & platforms and withheld their votes from Hillary, and Kamala for "reasons" (third party votes, protest votes, and boycotting of Democrats effectively contributed to DonOld & the MAGAt republicans’ victories and subsequent destruction of democracy & America - especially through the rulings of the corrupt right wing majority on the SCOTUS).



Hope that ^ helps.





We. Told. Them. So.

Uh, no that does not help, because when I voted for Harris, I was not voting for war crimes by Israel and I was not voting to villify a Muslim mayoral candidate in NYC.

So, I'm not a member of the "we" in your tedious tagline.

So now you’re assigning false positions to / making false assertions about the “We” I regularly identify as decent, intelligent individuals…



But, fair enough; you are NOT one of “We” in my tagline.



Happy???

crazy how zohan beat the guardian angel and andrew como in a 3 way dance for the new york city mayor title

 

[Buffalogurl]

So you're saying it's OK for those girls to be sold by Epstein to Trump because he took a shower.

You are full of shit...... piss off

 

[Buffalogurl]

Sure, there are bad people who are Moslems. Just like there are bad people who are Christians, Jews, Hindus, Atheists, etc. etc. etc.

Personally, I believe ALL religion is a bad thing. You can find examples everywhere, from Srebrenica to those burning crosses in your own pious country.

If you're going to hate on the next mayor of your largest city because of his religion, rather than his policies, then you're just a bigot, pure and simple.

No, you have absolutely no idea as to what Islam is or it's brutality or it's murderous nature........ and FYI Islam is not a religion, it is a political ideology......

No, Mamdani is not asking.... he is stealing their hard earned money under the color of law/authority..... out and out theft.....these people have no choice in the matter....... communism? Government owned and operated grocery stores for free food? Who the fuck will be paying for this? Free buss service? And rent controls..... walks, and talks like a communist a self serving communist.....at that.....imho

 

[YDB95]

I get that's how you define taxation. But again: words have meanings. You don't get to just redefine them on your own.

these people have no choice in the matter.......

If they hate government, they're welcome to move to Somalia.

communism? Government owned and operated grocery stores for free food?

Not communism. Communism would be if government took over the farms and ranches that were producing the food in the first place.

Who the fuck will be paying for this? Free buss service? And rent controls..... walks, and talks like a communist a self serving communist.....at that.....imho

True if you define "communist" as anyone an inch to the left of center as you obviously do.

 

[domroger]

Then you remember that among the 91 dead there were 17 Jews,murdered by the Zionists.
Zionists who instead of fighting Germany were plotting what to do when the British Mandate ran out.

In retrospect the Zionists were right. Jews are much safer now that they have a nation where they can defend themselves, rather than depending on the kindness of strangers.

We saw two years ago that the international community won’t help Jews even when they’re attacked. The world’s response to October 7th has powerfully demonstrated the continued need for Zionism.

 

[JohnEngelman]

Remember King David's hotel?

Yes. I also remember the USS Liberty. That does not stop me from admiring Jews, respecting Judaism, and loving Israel.



And I am not Jewish. I would not praise Jews if I was. Jews are a humble people.

Taxation is not theft.

We give Israel $8 billion a year to defend themselves and them gave them weapons during their genocide. Fuck off, you lying twat.
