Cuomo defeated in NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary

No, he didn't.


Yeah, it seems way more likely that he was saying how great murdering children is than how bad injustice is.


Strange how NYC is a city of 1 million Jews but not a city of 1 million Muslims....

So because NYC has lots of Muslims, he should NOT retract a statement in favor of Hamas donors?? Talk about Islamophobic stereotyping.

Not all Muslims support Hamas, my friend.

No. Because NYC has lots of Muslims he will need to appeal to Muslims (say, by recognizing the specific injustices and challenges they face) in much the same way he will need to appeal to Jewish New Yorkers. It's not always and exclusively about winning the votes of Jewish New Yorkers, and he doesn't need to do anything and everything you imagine they would demand of him.

You've already failed to argue that he praised terrorists. You are now notably backpedaling to "a statement in favor of Hamas donors", which he also didn't do.

I don't recall saying that they did.

Save us the anti-Semitic tropes, bro.

He said he loves the Holy Land 5.

Probably because they funded anti-Israel terrorism that murdered children.

Best for Mamdani to retract this "love". If he wants to become Mayor of a city with 1 million Jews.

Maybe he should have written a rap praising Zionist terrorists that murdered British children when they blew up a school bus and a hotel in Palestine.
 
It might be considered by some politically imprudent to hate Columbus, though one might also wonder why simply being Italian should make one consider a racist, enslaving Spanish colonist a hero simply because of where he was born. But be that as it may, let's also remember that although it's true that New York has the highest percentage of Italian-Americans around, it's still only a bit under 9 percent, a much smaller percentage than that of Blacks and Hispanics, and not so evenly distributed either. Now one can also have varying opinions about political opportunism and so forth, but it is at least imaginable that Mamdani may have figured out the relative likelihood of different ethnic groups to vote for Cuomo anyway, and worrying less about them than about those who might provide support.

In any case, it seems possible that Hercules56 has not entirely disentangled the question of whether his objection to Mamdani's statements is because he considers them impolitic or because he considers them wrong - though of course it could be both.
 
You are clueless, Herc

Of course he enslaved, tortured kidnapped and murdered.
All European explorers were massively in debt for their exploration, and had to make money any way they could - so torturing people to tell you where their gold it and making them work for you is just necessary so you yourself don't spend the rest of your days in a debtor's prison.
