That’s fine, antisemitism is wrong, as long as he isn’t going to start supporting Nehtanyahu or Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
He has clearly been against that.
He’s had the chance to prove himself through action. So he has gained enough trust from me to wait and see what he’s up to. This is the perfect way to push through actual hate crime legislation in the current media-corporate climate.
“Hey! If this is a hate crime to do to a Jewish person, it’s a hate crime to do it to a queer person or a POC.”
“Oh, you don’t like this law? Why do you hate the Jews?”
And remember, the Palestinians are a semitic people, too, so it’s Israel doing the anti semitism here.
He is directly supporting institutions who support zionism
so many down votes for such a popular post
i do hope you’re not too disappointed
rally the intifada old bean! and don’t forget the misogyny
- Give me a Jew. I like them. They’re smart and funny.
- Fuck the Israeli. Exists only for power and money.
Some Israelis are Palestinian Arabs/Muslims. The issue isnt people born in Israel either. The issue is zionism which is a genocidal campaign.

Sources please. Jews of conscience are sizeable and growing.
Soon, everyone will always have been against ethnic cleansing of Palestinians!!
I mean it’s good that consciousness is growing but it could have come 78 years sooner…
A) that is for American Jews. B) is says 90% support Israeli people, not actions of the state. The rest of the report gives mixed signals.
israeli people are just settlers. Supporting them is equal to supporting the action of states. Similar surveys are there on the internet about british, australian, etc jews
I highly recommend this piece on Avi Lewis and how this isnt about Israelis or jews, but zionism. https://lemmy.ca/post/71680208
Conservatives: He’s picking on us now! That’s antisemitic!
And this is why electoralism doesnt work
WDYM? This isn’t a bad policy. Attacks on Jewish congregations do happen and more so since Oct. 7 for obvious reasons. This must not happen and the gap between Israel and Jewish diaspora is to tear wide open, having Jewish people protected from actual anti-semitic attacks can only help that process. This is true even if the Israel lobby conducts unlimited islamophobia at the same time. That’s a related problem that must be tackled too.
At the same time I highly doubt Mamdani will comply with this disingenuous shit:
“For this effort to be effective, Mayor Mamdani must also commit to stopping his harsh anti-Israel rhetoric that makes Jewish New Yorkers vulnerable as there are clearly times when antisemitic attacks are fueled by anti-Zionism,” Jacobs said.
Well, Netanyahu wasn’t arrested at the UN 2 weeks ago. He has to dance to the tune of the dark overlords or he’ll visit Charlie Kirk soon enough. He’s smart enough to know where his power as mayor stops and the zionist death cult begins.
And it begins with this.
This IS a bad policy. All it does is funds and protects zionist organizations who claim to be combating anti semitism. Also why special treatment for jews? I didnt see any anti islamophobic, anti black racism or anti homophobia task forces?
Not to mention he backtracked on arresting netanyahu, he didnt even go to protest him.
Care to elaborate?
anti semitism growing is a zionist notion
Two things can be true. Anti-semitism can be a problem and Zionism can also be using it as a weapon.
Zionism = an ethnostate massacring innocent people as we speak Anti semitism = posts on social media
Guess which problem got an olive tree and which got funding of millions of dollars and a task force by our supposed pro palestine mayor?
