Just as a side note, nearly all those Jewish celebs that you cite are strangely silent

No, Seinfeld and Jason Alexander have both visited Israel, visited the families of hostages, and have been persecuted by the Neo-Commie-Nazi-Islamist crowd in America.

But you’re right, Larry David has been strangely silent. Very disappointed that the last season of Curb didn’t reference the new reality Jews live in.

It is not Chow or Mandani or even Trump. It is those who voted for them, their sycophants, those too weak and stupid to think that their ego will be boosted by animosity.

In Reagan’s sixth year, “no one” I asked voted for him: “I didn’t know he would do that”. I thought he was the essence of destruction and never thought the day would come when the electorate would really choose one representing people’s hatred towards others, meaning us.

But here we are with these three and others before them and the soon to come. It is our neighbors, those we thought cared about us and what we have always stood for. And now, “ there is no one left to stand up for me.”

Perhaps Mandani’s smile is more dangerous than Trump’s scowl. It is too late to find out. I have no answers. Only fear.

A great and essential piece, but Mamdani is MUCH WORSE than Chow. Chow associates with anti-Semites, but Mamdani is one. I would compare Mamdani to the danger to Vienna's Karl Lueger (Hitler's inspiration)

With Zohran Mamdani poised to become New York City's Mayor, it is imperative that the Jewish community in New York acts decisively and votes against him in November. The historical lesson of Vienna underscores the critical importance of this action, particularly regarding the consequences of electing anti-Semitic mayors in cities with sizable Jewish populations.

Take Karl Lueger, for instance, an influential anti-Semite who served as mayor of Vienna five times between 1897 and 1910. Initially, Emperor Franz Joseph refused to endorse him due to his blatant anti-Semitism. However, after Lueger's fifth re-election, the Emperor acquiesced to his power, showcasing how entrenched anti-Semitic sentiments were in Austria at that time. Lueger scapegoated the Jewish community for Vienna’s financial troubles and rallied crowds with his vile rhetoric. Remarkably, despite his public persona, he maintained friendships with several Jews in private. When questioned about this hypocrisy, Lueger infamously declared, "I decide who is a Jew." This statement epitomizes the historical attitude towards Jews in Vienna.

Lueger’s toxic ideologies had a profound impact on Adolf Hitler, who moved to Vienna in 1906. Hitler references Lueger as a pivotal influence on his views about Jews in his book, Mein Kampf.

Buy a gun, Jews, and carry.

Defend yourself and watch yourself be arrested and charged and denounced by the mayor.

Miryamnae's avatar

Yes. The rest of the tyranny against Jews. Still, the guns were taken from citizenry by Hitler and the rest is history.

Freedom Lover's avatar

In this case tyranny against anyone acting in self defense. Its already here. Remember Daniel Penny? But after Madmani is elected it won't just be the Marxist DA but City Hall also.

He is not elected yet.

Does he believe that the World of Humanity is obligated to support in all ways an Israel in the Holy Land in a Militarily Secure State .

Has he condemned the atrocities and barbarism of the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on October 7 2023 .

To summarize, if you won't stand up for yourself, how can you expect the stranger to stand up for you?"

"Jewish and Zionist community"

Where words matter: this disassociation of Jewish with Zionist as if the two formed completely different communities only advances our enemies' agenda of delegitimizing Israel the better to prepare to devour it and its people.

To clarify, what exactly is a Zionist?

Same as a Brit, a Ukrainian, or patriot of any country, a Zionist is a Jew who is loyally proud of their homeland and their people and all that defines them. In other words, a Zionist is a nationalists.

The Military and The Government is to blame. If Trump then Mamdani is how this reads, the General Will has ALWAYS behaved in this Fashion since Jean-Jacques Rousseau first noted it. General Nikita Khrushchev played the most masterful game of "GO!" anyone has or will ever play simply by understanding Rousseau's observations.

I have an idea. The Jews in NYC need to vote Republican to show the leftist Democrats that a racist is not acceptable.

re portrayal of Jews....."George Costanza" whose "Italian" father eats a bowl of kasha (not pasta) in bed!...would rather "attend a hanging" than a bris. Mrs. Maisel....the few episodes I watched...a common portrayal that all Jews are "of privilege"....All of us in ocean liner sized C PWEST apartments with "colored" house keepers. Our fathers are Columbia professors and our mothers...have a lot of time for bridge. My working class credentials beat out mamdani and cortez.....I'm "from the block" Neither of them are. I try to rectify this in my writings.

These are some good suggestions. He hasn't won yet so I encourage all of you to fight to prevent his election. If he does win carry out these suggestions. I don't see him as a problem just for the New York City Jewish community. He is part of the Red Green Alliance and therefore a menace to the U.S., both to our system of government and our way of life. We can't just sit back and do nothing.

This is just a warning. Next come national leaders like in Ireland. Jews in the UK were lucky to dodge the Corbyn bullet.

Those of who voted for Cuomo will vote for Adams who was a victim of Biden DOJ lawfare , seek to forge coalitions and hope that Adams can make a deal with Sliwa .It is very clear that Cuomo by dint of his personality and record has no future in NY politics

Freedom Lover's avatar

Cuomo, that disgraceful scoundrel has decided if he cant be mayor then neither will anyone but the Jew hater. He announced hes remaining on the ballot. I pray nobody at all is stupid enough to vote for him.

You said it !!!...... It's utterly scary to think that this big antisemite Mamdani, could become the new mayor of New York (God forbid). After all the " protestors " at most universities with the slogans and propaganda against our beloved Israel, these ignorant young students surely voted for Mamdani.....I am sorry you have Chaw as a mayor!.....Shabbat Shalom....Blessings....
