    Don’t confuse Judaism with Israel. It is still the individual persons choice. additionally what role does this have in New York? I just don’t like how soft Mamdani became. It would have been defend-able if this was his original position.

      ??? Mamdani is running for mayor of New York. There’s a significant amount of Jews in positions of power that he’ll have to work with. Hiring around Zionism is going to be challenging as well. It sucks, yes, but I’m hoping he will be able to maneuver around them efficiently enough.

        Yes, but I would say not to confuse Judaism with Zionism. Most Zionists are evangelicals. It’s not really “working around jews in power” It would primarily be not hiring evangelical white-jewish nationalist zionists.

          Is there any reputable numbers with Zionism and demographics? I haven’t seen anything that isn’t biased. I’m not confusing them, really. I’m just saying that if the Jewish community is about half pro-israel zionists, he’s going to inevitably end up dealing with them. And if the highest amount of zionists are from the Jewish community in New York, it’s going to be hard not to discriminate against them if we want to exclude zionists from public offices/positions.
