“We are powerless to do anything about this”. Now that sounds very familiar.
He promised New York would be a city adhering to international law. By allowing sales of stolen Palestinian land in Synagogues, New York is directly in violation of international law.
Zohran has many levers to pull. But he refuses to pull them.
If you’re not seeing Memdani as an ally in this cause, I really don’t know what to say to you. There are very few politicians who are more supportive of the Palestinian people than he is, but you have got to pick your battles.
You’ve also got to support somebody, or you’re just a nihilist.
What is with the black and white glasses where you have to support every single thing someone does? Mamdani is better than most but that does not mean he can never drop the ball.
I never said he hadn’t dropped the ball. You’re making the same point I am. It’s okay to sometimes drop the ball. You’ve got to pick your battles, and you’re bound to choose the wrong ones occasionally too.
Should he have picked this one? You seem to think so. What would you have had him do, that you think would have been the right thing? Just passionate condemnation of the law that was passed?
Yes he did not put up a fight against very clear violations of the first amendement.
It wasn’t his law, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn’t add his signature, which is a reasonable protest.
Grasping at straws to find fault here mate.

Mamdani was very passionate about New York following international law and making sure it would before he got elected.
This event is direct participation of New York in the genocide of Palestinians. Which does not really sound very compliant to me.
