Zohran, who says he’ll arrest Netanyahu, is 3x more trusted by New Yorkers on Israel/Palestine than Cuomo, who has volunteered to defend Netanyahu. NYC’s message to the Israel lobby is loud and clear: We are not stupid, and you have no more influence here.

Zohran: New York City should be cheaper Political class: Do you pledge your full allegiance to the State of Israel Zohran: No, I want to talk about affordability Political class: Do you love Israel Zohran: Free childcare Political class: Why is Zohran obsessed with Israel?

It’s genuinely positive for our democracy that there’s another candidate in this race who believes NYC voters should pick their next mayor, not billionaires who mostly live somewhere else.

In today’s @nytimes there were two stories—one on tens of thousands of organized demonstrators in Washington DC protesting the “carnage in Gaza” around the White House. The other was a story about feral cats in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Can you guess which article was on Page 1 and which article was on Page 15? -R

100% right. It's like saying someone's constituency is Borough Park. Not even subtle.

George Latimer on the LWV Debate to Rep. Bowman: “Your constituency is Dearborn Michigan”. Dearborn has the largest Muslim population per capita of any city in the US. @LatimerforNY, is this a dog whistle about Muslim-Americans & Arab-Americans? Do they not matter to you?

Latimer - you will be remembered for burning $$$ millions on a losing campaign. But glad to hear AIPAC is so afraid of Dearborn that they passed on that talking point. @JamaalBowmanNY is a true public servant and we’ll be celebrating his victory all the way from Dearborn.

Three of the most selfish, self serving, self involved dudes I’ve ever had the misfortune to help electorally.

In the manufactured fervor over antisemitism on campuses (ie students yelling ‘from the river to the sea’ or ‘free Palestine’) we have allowed the fomenting of a fire of Islamophobia & anti-Arab bigotry that accepts & spreads Arabs/Muslims as inherently violent & threatening. All in defense of a genocide. We have seen a Palestinian child stabbed to death, three Palestinian students shot; we have seen professors lose their jobs for advocating against genocide; administrations forgoi no investigating chemical attacks on pro-Palestinian students, law professors assaulting a protesting hijab-clad student and now hijab-clad students losing one of the highest honors bestowed on a graduating student.

This is racism and Islamophobia. She is valedictorian!

A man trespassed into the Islamic center of Melville NY yesterday afternoon harassing people inside the mosque and shouting for “hostages to be free”. There should be zero tolerance for all kinds of intimidation at religious places. Very concerning particularly with the holy month of Ramadan starting soon @Newsday @Danjanison @NewYorkStateAG @SCPDHq @News12LI @skrichev13 @HalimahElmariah @GovKathyHochul @Tom_Suozzi

100 days. 29K Palestinians massacred in 100 days. Mostly women + children. 7K Palestinians missing in 100 days. 1.9M Palestinians in Gaza (85% of pop) displaced in 100 days. 1.4M Palestinians in Gaza (68% of pop) pushed into overcrowded shelters in 100 days. #CeasefireNOW

I was honored to host a town hall at the Hillside Islamic Center on Long Island today to hear from our Muslim communities about the issues they’re facing. We know painfully well that Islamophobia is on the rise, and we have to work together to end this hate and hate of any kind.

Make it make sense.

Remember when they told us we were exaggerating when we said Netanyahu was seeking ethnic cleansing all along? This is why we don’t trust any of you who claim to be for peace yet parrot propaganda while we are facing a genocide. Should we expect your faux outrage @SecBlinken

Powerful message of peace from .@Pontifex this Christmas. All our world leaders should listen.

Gaza to Burlington, we reject anti-Palestinian hate. The violent shooting of Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid, Tahseen Ahmed must be investigated as a hate crime. I pray for their recovery, and demand our leaders to stop fanning the flames of war that perpetuated this violence.

Kinnan Abdalhamid, Hisham Awartani and Tahseen Ahmed were shot because they were speaking Arabic & wearing kuffiyehs. My heart is broken for their loved ones & the Palestinian community. We must come together to stop the hatred, discrimination, dehumanization & violence.

The NYT provides context on the heinous disregard for #Palestinian lives: "People are being killed in Gaza more quickly than in even the deadliest moments of U.S.-led attacks in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups."
