@sh76 saidMamdani did his best to throw gasoline on the fire. What an ass.
Mamdani should be stepping in to protect his Jewish constituents from this sort of harassment. Instead, he contents himself with platitudes and doubling down on the kind of inflammatory rhetoric that tacitly supports these tactics.

@AThousandYoung saidYes, stupid them.
Aren't like 90% of the Jews in Congress Democrats?
what are they waiting for, the pitchfork brigade to come around?? Crimminy
@Earl-of-Trumps saidHow amusing that someone who admits to being "anti-Israel" can feign faux outrage after reading the first two paragraphs of the WSJ opinion piece (all I can see before the paywall):
Mamdani did his best to throw gasoline on the fire. What an ass.
"Anti-Israel protesters say objecting to the existence of the Jewish state doesn’t make them antisemitic, but that line is becoming impossible to believe. Note the protesters Tuesday who swarmed New York City’s Park East synagogue calling for “intifada revolution.”
The occasion was an exposition called The Great Israeli Real Estate Event, which promotes property sales across Israel including parts of the West Bank. The 100 or so protesters, many with faces covered by keffiyehs and waving Palestinian flags, said they object to the “sale of stolen land.” Reports show demonstrators yelling “Israel should not exist” outside the synagogue."
One would think you'd have some sympathy for protesters of an event that "property sales across Israel including parts of the West Bank" but I guess your extreme irrational hatred of the Democratic Party easily overrides any attempt at ideological consistency.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidFetterman’s not even Jewish.
Yes, stupid them.

Sounds to me like he’s on the Israeli payroll.
@AThousandYoung saidSounds like he's on the Republican payroll as well, just like Kyrsten Sinema, and we know what happened to her.
Fetterman’s not even Jewish.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidI really don't have this kinda time, chasing you around yelling "Idiot!"
Racist!
@AThousandYoung saidyikes!

This doesn't seem consistent with your views on Israel Earl:
https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/statement-from-senator-fetterman-on-israel/
“Innocent Israelis were the victims of a terrorist attack that resulted in the largest loss of Jewish lives since the Holocaust. Now we know that the tragedy at the Gaza hospital was not caused by Israel. I grieve for every innocent person and brave Israeli soldier killed since Hamas started this war. If not for the horrific attacks by Hamas terrorists, thousands of innocent Israelis and Palestinians would still be alive today.
“Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in their efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children. Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.
“In the meantime, I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Senate to quickly deliver the aid our ally Israel needs. This includes confirming ambassador-nominee Jack Lew as soon as possible.”
Waving a Palestinian flag is now "inciting hate" according to the Israeli government:
"Israeli defence minister Israel Katz has criticised Barcelona’s teenage star Lamine Yamal for waving a Palestinian flag during celebrations of the Spanish league title win.
Yamal, 18, waved a large Palestinian flag from an open-top bus during a victory parade, which drew about 750,000 people.
“Lamine Yamal chose to incite hate against Israel while our soldiers combat the terrorist organization Hamas, an organization that massacred, raped and burned Jewish children, women and the elderly on October 7 [2023],” Israel Katz wrote on X."

"Globalize the Intifada" is code for "attack Jews worldwide"
"From the River to the Sea" is code for "dissolve the state of Israel"
"Resistance by Any Means Necessary" is code for "kill Israeli civilians"
I don't think I have to decode "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud" "Death to Israel" the myriads of similar slogans that are staples at these "protests"
@sh76 saidOnly in the minds of rabid supporters of Israel not in the minds of the vast majority of protesters (well "river to the sea" and "death to Israel" are anti-Zionist slogans).
