in addition to every other problem here, mamdani spends the vast majority of his time in the public eye speaking about hyper-local new york city governance issues. the idea that he is preoccupied with israel at all times is based on nothing other than the fact that he is muslim

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.

Here is where things stand: one country is demanding that Lebanon stop being molested by indiscriminate bombardment and bulldozing and another is saying it should be molested permanently. Which is more reasonable? Sorry but it's not America.

Number one question every so-called foreign policy realist should be asking themselves is why Washington DC consider Israel's right to bomb Lebanon more important than the global economy?
