    Yes, because he’s not asking if they’re zionists,he asking about their job qualifications. Op is a fucking idiot.

    New York has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. From the very few sources I’ve seen, about half of non-israeli Jews are zionist. The question remains on how you would be able to hire qualified Jews without discriminating against a large portion of the population.

      Don’t confuse Judaism with Israel. It is still the individual persons choice. additionally what role does this have in New York? I just don’t like how soft Mamdani became. It would have been defend-able if this was his original position.

        ??? Mamdani is running for mayor of New York. There’s a significant amount of Jews in positions of power that he’ll have to work with. Hiring around Zionism is going to be challenging as well. It sucks, yes, but I’m hoping he will be able to maneuver around them efficiently enough.

      Just ask anyone, including Jews, Gentiles and Muslims, if they support the genocide or not. It’s not like many will lie. People willingly state their fervor for the killing.

      “Do you support the violence and starvation in Gaza?”

      “No”

      “Hired!”
