  • “I’m not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else,” he explained. “Equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That’s my belief.”

    Mamdani’s refusal to endorse apartheid immediately generated vociferous backlash among the pro-Israel crowd.

    “It’s more than problematic,” said Joseph Potasnik, executive vice president of the New York Board of Rabbis, told the New York Post. “Jews see this as a dividing line.

    Fellow candidate Whitney Tilson said voters should be “concerned” about Mamdani’s position.

    “The Orthodox Jewish community is not afraid enough,” Sam Berger, an Orthodox Queens state assemblyman and Cuomo-backer, told Jewish Insider. “While the public generally takes its time to pay attention, we do not have that luxury this year. After two antisemitic attacks in under two weeks echoing the same rhetoric we have persistently warned against from the No. 2 mayoral candidate, we need to vote like our lives depend on it.”

    “Zohran Mamdani couldn’t even pretend he supports Israel’s right to exist as actually Israel: Bad as everyone was on stage at the first Democratic mayoral debate, he disqualifies himself with that stance alone,” declared the New York Post’s editorial board.

    “Jewish lives will be at stake if this man is elected,” tweeted New York City Council member Inna Vernikov. “He’s going to enable antisemitism like this city has never seen. If he wins and TRUE principled conservatives don’t remain in the Council, violence will SKYROCKET. Don’t just watch it unfold. Act. VOTE!”













  • The plan would raise $20 million from Democratic donors, which the project’s leadership has reportedly already begun to collect, to study the “syntax, language, and content” that’s popular among young men in online spaces, then develop content that spreads an “aspirational vision of manhood that aligns with Democratic values without alienating other core constituencies” and partner with influencers.

    These people are fucking aliens.


  • Hamas’s draft reintroduces terms from a deal that Hamas said it made with Witkoff on May 25. Israel rejected that document and four days later, on May 29, Witkoff and Israel announced new terms, which would permit Israel to resume its genocidal war after 60 days and to keep its forces entrenched deep inside Gaza. It contained no guarantees for allowing the unrestricted flow of food, medicine, fuel and other life essentials to the Gaza Strip.

    In a post on X Saturday, soon after he received Hamas’s response, Witkoff denounced Hamas’s draft. “It is totally unacceptable and only takes us backward. Hamas should accept the framework proposal we put forward as the basis for proximity talks, which we can begin immediately this coming week,” Witkoff wrote. “That is the only way we can close a 60-day ceasefire deal in the coming days… and in which we can have at the proximity talks substantive negotiations in good-faith to try to reach a permanent ceasefire.”

    Senior Hamas official Basem Naim disputed Witkoff’s characterization. “We did not reject Mr. Witkoff’s proposal. We agreed with him on a proposal, which he deemed acceptable for negotiation. We then received the other party’s response (the Israelis) through Mr. Witkoff, which rejected all that we had agreed upon with him,” Naim told Drop Site. “Nevertheless, we responded positively and responsibly, responding to him in a manner that fulfilled the aspirations and demands of our people. Why is the Israeli response considered the only response for negotiation? This violates the integrity and fairness of mediation and constitutes a complete bias towards the other side.”
