According to Spier, "There wasn’t much to skewer Mamdani with, except that his promises are likely too ambitious to deliver, and that he smiles too much." His refusal to speak against overt Jew-hatred in NYC, his unabashed anti-Zionism, and his calls to defund police units (especially those that protected Jews during campus encampments) might be a place to start. Hey Ankler, do better!
He has condemned anti semitism on several occasions, on camera, in public, and with Jewish organizations. If you haven't personally seen him do it, that's about your personal media consumption, not his views.
Thanks for making assumptions about my media consumption, rather than addressing my point about the fear that an overwhelming proportion of the Jewish community in NY has about Mamdami. Perhaps you should comment on Rabbi Buchdahl's media consumption too.
An overwhelming proportion? Nope. Jewish votes were almost perfectly split in the primary between Mamdani and Cuomo--and they break down heavily along generational lines. There was no "overwhelming" anti Mamdani Jewish vote. So at least be honest about what you're saying: YOU dislike Mamdani, conflate Jewishness with Zionism (and the two are NOT interchangeable) and also do not care about Palestinians.
I know that if you think students were protesting Jews and not the treatment of Palestinian in Gaza, you either did not pay attention to the protests at all, or you simply don't think the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza merits protest because Palestinian lives matter less than those of Israelis

The point is... to say there was little to critique Mamdami over on SNL is shameful, and willfully ignorant. I expect better of the Ankler.

Good piece. I read this recently on Mamdani's video style and found it really enlightening (gift link): https://defector.com/selling-zohran?giftLink=3d3bffc5dd61485691b98e2792153594
Um really?
