    On one hand he’s leaving a rabid Zionist in charge of one of the biggest armed forces in the country, but on the other some people on Twitter called him islamoleftist. I wonder which has more impact on Zionism

        i guess we’ll just have to see how the mayor of new york affects israel

        1. You are replying to a comment pointing out a specific way in which he is enabling zionism.
        2. My sibling in Christ, you are the one who brought this up.

        Are we seriously pretending the head of NYC is just some smalltown country mayor who doesn’t know about all this international politics stuff? It’s the hub of world Zionism outside of Tel Aviv lmao

            Yes expecting a self identified socialist to have a modicum of antizionist tendencies is identical to bad faith debate questions. That dodge didn’t work when he was asked about Cuba and Venezuela on a podcast, so he instead doubled down on the dem line about them being nasty evil repressive dictatorships.

            You also were specifically making a point about him being anti Zionist and how the people critiquing him were wrong. Odd to immediately retreat to “who cares about Israel man, guess we have to wait till he’s in power”
