We can mourn the death and suffering n Gaza without making invidious comparisons to the dead and suffering Hamas inflicted on October 7. We can support justice for Israelis and Palestinians.

You can't help but notice that Mamdani has the same attitude toward Jewish people that you see from the Ivy League culture in which he has long marinated with his father. You're incredibly deep into that antisemitic bubble if you even think of releasing the statement he did & then double down on it.

The trivialization of genocide by throwing the word like a schoolyard taunt at anyone deemed politically impure.

Tedious, counterproductive waste of everyone's time to direct this at Mamdani.
