I've always been skeptical of Mamdani, but I think this disgusting zionist reporting is going to continue as long as he's in office. It's a gift for zionists and bigots everywhere. Every single thing he does is going to be labeled antisemitic and the over 40 liberal NY Times crowd is going to eat it up again and again. They are continuing with the insanely out of touch narrative that antisemitism is on the rise and it's not safe to be Jewish in New York city. Absolute alternative reality these people have constructed.

I think some people are probably going to see through it. But, I can tell you from talking to my parents that they think that he's "already failed" because of this incident. Absolute fucking brain worms. Glad I'm not having Thanksgiving with them. No critical thinking whatsoever.

I see this as a positive, actually. Makes his team think twice before backing down on opposing Israel, because they'll never he'll never be accepted as a regular Democrat like AOC. Look at Tlaib and Omar.

I think some people are probably going to see through it.

I think good evidence that people are seeing through it is that not only did he win the primary, but he won the actual election without full party support. This is not like Corbyn where he won the leadership and then got surprised by the antisemitism allegations. He has been under this attack from the very beginning, and it failed.

But, I can tell you from talking to my parents that they think that he's "already failed" because of this incident.

Genuine question, did they support him before this? Because it's hard to tell if they're already detractors doomsaying, or if they're genuinely disappointed.

The antisemitism attack failed to prevent him from being elected, but if he truly passes a law to ban these protests, then they succeeded

Yeah, if he backs down and joins the Dems on this it's fucked. But at least we can have the assurance that that would be a terrible choice for him, losing all anti-zionist support while never ever being allowed to escape the ghost of "antisemitism". If he actually backs that legislation (I'm not sure from the wording) and it gets passed, it's political suicide.

Since he’s not in office we obviously can’t know for sure. But “I love the idea and I can’t thank you enough” seems pretty clear as to his intentions re the law and should be another piece of evidence into how he’ll handle antisemitism hoaxes while in office. From validating fears about another 10/7 in New York, to giving hundreds of millions to fight antisemitism, to this latest example of tone policing activists while bending over backwards to appease these rabbis, it seems like he has no intention of standing on business re: Palestine

100%, also I did a quick search and it seems like there are protests all over the world, outside places various of worship. Right now lots of protests at churches in the Philippines and Historically there have been protests of the pope and the catholic church over pedophilia. So this would be an absurd law that would for sure ruin his career.

It would also be illegal for him to ban the protestors via a law, so that’s not possible

It would be illegal to ban the religious services, so that’s not possible

It would be illegal to allow the protesters to physically prevent religious patrons from attending religious services

The “law” in question literally can’t exist. It’s a complete made up nothingburger. Allowing any one of these would result in a massive open and shut civil rights lawsuit against the city. It is actually illegal for protestors to block people from practicing their religion, even though we are wise enough to understand that it’s thinly veiled colonialism. They legally have to be able to attend their religious event, and the city has to enforce that if protestors can’t self enforce.

I think they are detractors, and genuinely buy the "it's not safe to be Jewish in NYC" line and all of the other zionist crap the NY Times prints.
