Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to the United Nations General Assembly podium to accuse him of supporting Hamas and making Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe
Those Jewish New Yorkers can always move Israel if their life is so bad here now.
I'm not sure you want to own "If you don't like it here, move back to your own country" rhetoric.
Well, that's why the state of Israel was formed, so Jews all over the world would have a place to go if they feel unsafe where they are. All the genocidal colonialism was for nothing if they're not even going to use it for what it was intended for.
Coming dangerously close to the right wing "actually Zionism is good because it means we can finally get rid of all of the Jews from the United States" bullshit
Look, my point is that they have options. If legitimate criticism of the genocide being carried out by Jewish Zionists makes them uncomfortable, they do not have to stay here and listen to it. I'm not saying they can't stay here, I'm not saying they should be expelled or forcibly deported, nor am I condoning or advocating for discrimination or harassment against Jewish people in general, I'm saying those Jewish people who are uncomfortable here, for whatever, reason do not have to stay here. No slippery slope or reading between the lines, that's it.
It's not unreasonable for a group of people to work together to make the place they live safer for them, whether it's from the authorities or the crowd or both. There are plenty of ways the Jews of New York have historically done that, and can do that now, without leaving.
They have no power over Netanyahu but he has none over them.
Then they need to stand up and vocalise that Israel does not speak for them.
Right now, they claim to, and they are weaponizing that claim to do mass harm.
You caught a few downvotes, but you’re not wrong. Lots of people genuinely don’t realize that a large part of the conservative support for Israel is rooted in “give them a place on the other side of the planet, so they’re not my neighbor anymore” antisemitism. That, and the fire-and-brimstone Christian belief that the end times will be kicked off when all the Jews return to their homeland.
It always was a case of Not In My Backyard. So they (Britain, et al) picked somebody else's backyard instead. They didn't care about the Palestinians back then either.
The original Zionists were pretty explicit about being colonizers, it was more about stealing land than being safe.
So, I don't really want them to use Israel for what it was intended for. I'd rather they stay here actually.
Feeling unsafe != Living in danger. Is NYC a dangerous place to live for Jewish people? I'd be surprised if it's the case. I'm getting tired of politicians equating feelings with facts.
no. am a jewish person in nyc and i feel fine… people do have a habit sadly of associating the hasidic jews of brooklyn to be zionist’s which funny enough a good chunk aren’t. i live in a very jewish area here and its completely okay
What? Go live amongst Jews? Are you mad?
/S
If Mamdani wants to run against Schumer in the 2028 primary, I'm here for it.
He can do more good as mayor of NYC than as a senator, I think.
Well, somebody needs to primary Schumer.
would he run with that piker scum bag tho
I'm ashamed Canada let that piece of shit through our borders without puttin him under arrest.
I have confidence in Mark Carney's leadership. He's no dummy.
It is better to let the roaches out in the light.
NYPD is arresting protestors.
They’ve always arrested protesters who break the law. I support protesting, and in this case I support them breaking the laws they broke, but if you do that, you’ll probably be arrested. I wouldn’t support a mayor picking and choosing which causes protesters can and can’t break the law with impunity for.
I wouldn’t support a mayor picking and choosing which causes protesters can and can’t break the law with impunity for.
Y'know, damn I don't like it either but you're right about consistency. We're currently mad at the sitting villains in power for doing this exact thing.
"Coup? So peaceful. Upset about murder we did? SIEZE THEM."
Or "why centrists preferred Cuomo."
One day, all these demons will be gone.
And we will have new, freshly baked demons instead.
I await the day we're arguing over how to best shut down whatever fucking rogue AI was invented
