BS"D

Excellent article, Blake - except that Mam is not a socialist. Based on public statements he is reported to have made, he is an Islamonazi point man for Jihad. Who do you suppose is going to pay for his "free groceries" and his "free transport"? Who's going to subsidize his "permanent rent control"? Take a guess.

Absolutely nothing is more loathsome than progressive “as a Jew” types. Traitorous, sadistic and idiotic - people like Ross Barkan and Peter Beinart and Jake Klein are pure scum.

And now that Schumer and Nadler endorsed Mamdani? I’m fucking done with the Democratic Party, likely for good.

NYC is in my blood and my blood boils for the outright stupidity of my fellow New Yorkers who voted for this man!

Beautifully written.

And, I am appalled and infuriated by the “As a Jew” Jews, who seem to adore Mamdani and pretty much anyone else who hates Israel.

Excellent piece. Prayers for you and all of Israel and thank you for defending the entire free world. Israel is fighting for all of us who love our freedom. Just a lot of people don’t know it. I’m very worried for my friends in New York. Horrified by anyone who voted for that guy.

Thank you, Blake. I’m a New Yorker and I am bereft at how establishment Democrats let this happen by failing to cultivate a pipeline of decent normies, thus leaving the door wide open for Mamdani. When his loony, economically illiterate policies fail to bring about utopia, I know who’s going to be blamed: We Jews who clung to our “privilege,” or as I call it, dignity and self-respect, rather than get onboard his train.

Phenomenal piece. As a former NYer - someone who was actually from the Bronx unlike AOC and her fake claims - I am heartsick and disgusted to see how my former party voted.

Kol HaKavod on your enlistment and best of luck with your time in the IDF.

Yes, he has made some incredibly stupid remarks about Israel. No, he is not an antisemite (He was cross endorsed with Brad Lander for gods sake). As I have written, I think Mamdani proved that you can be exceptionally ill-informed on Israel and be a person who has absolutely zero issue with Jews.

You’re hopelessly naive if you believe that. But more likely, you’re just a fucking idiot.

Care to show any evidence of him being anti-Jews or Judaism? Or sticking with ad hominem?
