Hundreds of rabbis accuse Mamdani of fueling antisemitism over 'monsters' comment

145. Can't reach those laudable goals without the political will of both Israelis and Americans.

As long as Netanyahu and Likud are in power, and AIPAC continues to influence the outcome of elections and policy in the U.S. and both parties in the U.S. continue to provide military support to Israel, no chance of any of those things happening.

So, to me, anyone professing to want those goals has to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.

Getting back to the topic, it's absurd framing to fault Mamdani for holding a political rally to celebrate his slate of Democrats' win because it happened to coincide with the Knicks' win. Or, even worse, as the Israeli media Ynet News claims that Mamdani "used celebrations marking the New York Knicks' championship" to attack AIPAC etc. No, he held a political rally as is his right and as the candidates and voters in those districts deserved. Should the primaries have been cancelled because of the Knicks win or just the rallies afterward? Absurd.

But it just sounds a lot better if the goal is to make him out to be an opportunist and divider as ynet news has done and I see repeated elsewhere.
