“No Jewish person in New York City is responsible for the actions of the state of Israel.”
There are many Jewish New Yorkers who flew to Gaza to do genocide, who fundraise for genocide, who participate in land auctions of Palestinian homes. Who have a second home in Israel that they stole from Palestinians. If this is not direct complicity, then what is it?
Zohran Mamdani:
One of the things that I'm proud of is that we live in the most Jewish city in the United States of America.
No Jewish person in New York City is responsible for the actions of the state of Israel.
If you want to hold anybody accountable, it's the people who are making those decisions — the prime minister, the state of Israel, also our complicity as American taxpayers, given that we know how many billions of dollars we have sent in bombs and continue to send.
