“With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the city of New York, which has been an unacceptable development,” Jeffries said on ABC’s This Week.

i seriously hope hakeem jeffries looses whatever elections he tries to run in.

I somehow doubt these ghouls would be happy if anyone were to actually address the rise of antisemitism by making it illegal to conflate Judaism with the genocidal actions of an apartheid entity

[–] BoxedFenders@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

address the rise in antisemitism

i.e., lock up students who participate in pro-Palestinian rallies

Even though he talked for a really long time today? I mean, not Cory Booker long, but still really long time: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/03/us/politics/hakeem-jeffries-house-speech-magic-minute-trump-bill.html

Gillen argued that Mamdani has promised voters “free everything” but has no “real economic plan to pay for it, other than raising taxes.”

That IS a plan to pay for it, and it's no doubt why people voted for him, because they want you rich ghouls to give something back for a change and slightly improve the conditions for poor people in the city that made you wealthy. They really are just threatening people with a good time.

Fuck these ungrateful bastards.

The working class regularly votes away their medicare and everyone wants to give it all to the rich. No one cares that the working class can’t afford it. The working class just takes it on the chin, no problem.

“HoW aRe YoU gOiNg To PaY fOr It!”

Oh, I won’t porky will. Time that digusting glutton learned to go without. The pig doesn’t need it.

The word "antisemitism" is starting to lose meaning. I hope it doesn't swing the other way where actual antisemitism gets tossed out with the bathwater, but we're hitting a point of absurdity with the argument that being pro-human rights for Palestinians or critical of Israel is evidence of antisemitism. It'll be interesting to see what happens between now and the election. The establishment is going to spend a lot of money trying to paint Mamdani as a radical jihadist. Whether it works or not, it's going to contribute to the erosion of the impact of baseless antisemitism accusations. He's going to be campaigning on transit and cost of living, and if the response to that is "he wants to kill all the Jews!!" then there's a good chance he's going to look like the more reasonable party.

This "swing" has already happened with Zionist attacks and erasure on Jewish people support of Palestine etc

Israeli government and the IDF are two of the most anti semitic organizations in the world currently.

The fact that in the US you can openly be a political "top donor", trying to influence politics in your favor via naked corruption, then bitch about it when you haven't rigged the game enough to get exactly what you want and still leave the house without getting killed tells you everything you need to know
