“I would wager that in the primary, more than 50% of the Jewish people voted for Mamdani,” Cuomo told the crowd of around 450 at a breakfast event Sunday at the Hampton Synagogue.
He believed they were influenced by Mamdani’s appeal to younger and first-time voters who, Cuomo said, view criticism of Israel as opposing the policies of the Israeli government in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “They are pro-Palestinian, and they don’t consider it being anti-Israel,” he said.
“We have the largest Jewish population outside of Israel, and I was proud to be the strongest advocate,” Cuomo continued. “But many, especially younger people, don’t consider saying anti-Israel is different than being antisemitic.”
The whole "pro-Palestine = antisemite” was a naked appeal to Racism.
Those who are pro-People (Humanists) don’t care about the ethnicity of the aggressors or the victims, only the inherent character of the actions being committed.
It’s only the Racists who would judge the actions differently depending on the ethnicity of the aggressors or the victims.
