One thing that Zohran Mamdani’s win means, is that the anti-semitism smear is waning.
The very critical Caitlin Johnstone makes the point…
Uh-Oh! Political Antisemitism Smears Have Stopped Working!
Israel supporters everywhere have been in full blown crisis mode for days because, apparently, antisemitism smears have stopped working.
Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party primary in the New York City mayoral race after a frenetic smear campaign to portray him as an antisemite for his pro-Palestinian views, and now all the world’s worst people are freaking out about it.
I’m seeing some intensely rabid Islamophobia throughout public discourse in response to Mamdani’s win, the likes of which I haven’t seen since 9/11. All this hatred we’re now seeing directed toward Muslims is going to look pretty weird after the imperial crosshairs shift to Beijing and all these same people start acting super duper concerned about the plight of Muslims in Xinjiang.
I never get excited about anything that happens in the Democratic Party anymore, but the fact that these smears have lost a lot of their power has some encouraging and far-reaching implications for western politics in general. Things have come a long way since the psyop against Jeremy Corbyn.
…this is a win, but the battle continues on US Campuses with students threatened for criticising Israel’s war crimes, in Australia we see brutal violence meted out to protestors by Police…
…and in Britain we see the spineless Keir Starmer criticising musicians…

…and BBC censoring music…

…we need the Mamdani win.

It’s ridiculous. Years of stealing land, constantly incarcerating Palestinians without cause, and more recently slaughtering women and children in the thousands, and only now screaming some meaningless label is starting to lose is impact. To think Juliet Moses talks of losing the ability to reason, or something similar. That would very much be you Ms Moses.
The Muslims in Xinjiang aren’t being bombed or genocide by the majority Han-Chinese that a western myth propaganda stirred to undermine the PRC. There are huge Mosques built for the Uigur population in the province of Xinjiang even the cotton industry businesses are run by Uigurs who intern hire more of their people and employ tens of thousands.
The radical Uigurs are in Syria joined forces committing terrorist acts with the once was wanted Al Qaeda now self-proclaimed Syrian leader Jolani that the west now favors.
The anti-semiticism canard is well past it used by date the Americans maybe brainwashed but they aren’t stupid
The biggest anti-Semites are the Zionists who constantly try to smear all Jews and Judaism with the crimes against humanity being committed by the rancid Israeli state.
Facebook is a glorious place to push back against the Zionists. Usually i follow the Palestinian issue, occasionally the Hasbara crowd appears as a double team posting replies with minutes of each other always attacking the man not the message. Always easily recognizable. I usually reply “Oh look the hasbara brigade, funny how 2 of you always appear at the same time” and watch them scurry away without further reply exposing them. The beauty is it is there for everyone to see and they hate it, you should try it, it’s very gratifying. I highly recommend it.
Yeah, because that’s the reason anti-terrorists comment. It’s not because sm sends notifications? Your fascination with zionism is amusing, but the fact that you derive some kind of gratification from – in your eyes – ‘exposing them’ with a copy-paste propaganda line, is testament to your own derangement, not anybody else’s. Zionism = the belief that Jews have the right to live and self-govern in their own ancestral land. Land that was never a ‘State of Palestine’, and no more than 8% of it was ever owned by ‘palestinians’ (courtesy of very detailed Ottoman property records and British Mandatory Palestine data, all in public
domain.). Oh, and Jews – including Jews that never left the land – also owned around 8%. So while you’re smugly thinking you’ve actually contributed something to the world….. tells us why you want Israel to put down its weapons and be murdered (because that’s what hamas, the plo, etc, have promised – clearly, repeatedly, publicly)? Tell us why you want the indigenous people to be slaughtered, so the immigrant colonisers can have everything they want (but never had)? And explain why, when the palestinians have rejected every single offer to have their own country – more than 5 formal proposals, each one for far more land than was ever owned -, and the Jews/Israel have accepted every offer, it is Israel that has to keep making all the concessions? Israelis were very happy – up until Oct7 – to share, to agree to a 2state ‘solution’, but the palestinians demand a single, Jew-free, state. Why is it Israel that has to let its children be bombed by gazans – tens of thousands of rockets since 2006 – or murdered in palestinian terror attacks, or raped, burned alive, tortured, murdered, or kidnapped for more torture in Gaza? Why do Israeli children have to keep paying for the fantasies of western leftists, and the total domination demanded by Arab extremist Muslims? And why do you feel so ‘glorious’ when you post more propaganda that sentences millions of Israeli children , all Israelis, to the death promised by the ‘palestinians’? I’m genuinely interested to know why you would delight in this.
I have no issue with Zionism governing their OWN land but when biblical maps clearly show the kingdoms of Israel and Judea had clearly defined borders and Gaza had theirs it’s patently obvious it was never part of greater Israel, blatant land theft. I take issue with the lies and hypocrisy, human shields? UN reports with video evidence shows the IDF guilty as well. Destruction of Jews? there’s more than enough videos on YouTube showing Jewish children being indoctrinated with hatred against Arabs saying they are looking forward to killing Arabs when adults. Illegal detentions, mass punishment of Palestinians, deliberate starvation, forced sterilization of Ethiopian Jews, the list is endless.
My issue is with the genocidal regime of the Zionists not the average Jew, if you have to set up a special unit for hasbara and to push misinformation then that IMO is an admission of guilt. Two people, one state….
“First they came for the communists”, is the first line in Pastor Neimoller’s poem
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_They_Came
Trump exposes his true fascist nature. Threatens to arrest Zohran Mamdani if he is elected Mayor of New York and pushes back against ICE overreach.
The president, also repeated a claim that Mamdani had entered the US illegally.
Asked about Mamdani’s plan to oppose ICE activities in New York City, Trump said the US administration would “have to arrest him.”
“We’ll have to arrest him,” Trump said. “We don’t need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I’m going to be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.”
Mamdani earlier said that the immigrant raids were “terrorizing people,” and that agents who carry them out have no interest in following the law.

Immigration enforcement operations on farms have left crops rotting and farm operations disrupted in major agricultural states including California, Texas, and Pennsylvania.
Farm owners and industry representatives report that up to 70 percent of workers stopped reporting to work following Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, resulting in significant crop losses and financial strain…..
