Listen, the election is over, your guys lost. It is what it is. It's not gaslighting, it is fact that the voters don't care about what is good for Israel more than they do about cost of living here in NYC. Do with that information what you will but that is the reality, and crying on reddit won't change that.
You can keep screaming “racist, racist!” like a clown or you can literally just google it. He is on video saying that his guiding light and “core of his politics” is Palestine. I will be awaiting your apology.
unfortunately pretty much a guaranteed 0% chance this will happen for the next 3 years, given the current admin's relationship with the org's chairman.
He's not wrong, obviously the Trump admin does that. But given who it is he is discussing that fact with, I don't feel that the conversation's conclusion would be "antisemitsm is a problem" so much as "the administration is the problem."
Antisemitism is problem. Islamophobia is a problem. Killing innocent people is a problem. People should be able to afford living in NYC (one of richest cities). People should be educated. People should have access to good Healthcare.
BTW, jews are some of the most effective people who are fighting for Palestine. Their bravery is unmatched.
Whats Mehidis grift thats comparable to pedophilic Trump’s embezzling of charity funds via the Trump foundation? Or Trumps grift to enrich himself of billions of dollars via the presidency?
‘Anyone who dislikes both Trump and Mehdi Hasan must be a pretentious and hypocritical prick - it’s impossible to have reasonable objections to both, and saying you dislike two people can only mean you’re saying they’re equally bad. You are REQUIRED to pick one’ -you
It’s possible and even reasonable to think Mehdi Hasan is a hypocritical prick, and that Donald Trump is an evil threat to millions. And you can mock any position as simplistic.
Don’t really have much of an opinion of lander but mehdi is a propagandist, can’t stand that guy. Honestly just can’t stand impartial people in media in general
Also where in his news coverage has he spoken out against minorities or lgbt? He has been a liberal commentator yelling at right wing media for doing that for a very long time
yes it is. There's no good reason to be anti-Zionist or anti-Israel unless you're antisemitic and hiding behind semantics. They're against Jews and a Jewish state. No one is "Anti-Sudan" and "Anti-Yemen" and the body counts there are multiples higher than the gaza war

Israel is doing a genocide right now. Before that it was deemed an apartheid state by the UN, amnesty international, and other human rights organizations. Also everything they're doing in the West Bank.
No it’s not. No it wasn’t. And so what? Amnesty has a known antisemitism problem and is not a serious organization; they claimed Ukraine committed war crimes for fighting a war near their cities. Israel has more UN condemnations than any other nation which proves my point.
How convenient that literally anyone who has ever disagreed with you about this is actually antisemitic. That’s a fun little rhetorical device you’ve got there.
Trump admin does weaponize antisemitism that isn't wrong, but this is rich coming from Brad Lander who has made excuses for antisemitism on the left for years.
Oh look. The left once again going "LOOK LOOK AT TRUMP HES EVIL!" to try and distract from their own issues. Trump being bad does not excuse shit like hiring someone that blames the slave trade on Jews. Trump being bad does not excuse the insane amount of leeway Farrakhan supporters seem to get. Trump being bad doesn't excuse Hamas and Hezbollah support among leftist protests here in the US. Trump being bad doesn't excuse hate coming from the opposite side the political spectrum. You don't get "freebies" on your hate because your opponent is also hateful. How about instead of trying to distract with Trump Brad you confront why your leftist allies won't do shit about their antisemitism problem. Explain to me why its OK that Farrakhan supporters keep being let into positions with influence on the left.
Brad Lander is a long-time, self-loathing, anti-Zionist who is buddies with Mamdani and Sarsour, who have been working for years to delegitimize the Jewish state of Israel.
And don’t bother with the lie that anti Zionism isn’t anti semitism. Without Zionism we have no Israel. With no Israel Jews are not safe anywhere. (As opposed to not being safe in most places.)
He got, a middle east war to stop, hopefully for good. and hostages home.
Lots of things to go after Trump for, this is dumb.
Lander on the other hand wants to play both sides, Be seen as the progressive Jewish politican who dislikes how Israel is run, all the while wants its money. Worse yet, pretending he doesn't. As the case when questioned if the city would divest. He stated city doesn't get investments from Israel Although it does, and he knew that as comptroller.
People want jobs, healthcare, and reasonably priced homes.
Want foreign influence out of politics? Me too. Propose foreign influence laws that target all countries. Better yet, repeal citizens united.
Otherwise, shut the fuck up about Israel and your blood feuds 3,000 miles away.
Seriously, I'm so sick of people trying to make NYC politics about the "need" to unconditionally support a foreign nation-state.
Your preferred mayor literally said this his guiding light in politics is Palestine. That it was the source of his activism.
A large minority of his appointments were outed as blatant anti semites.
When Jews complain about this you guys go “ugh enough with your stupid blood feuds no one cares”
It’s gaslighting to the highest degree
Who was my preferred mayor?
Listen, the election is over, your guys lost. It is what it is. It's not gaslighting, it is fact that the voters don't care about what is good for Israel more than they do about cost of living here in NYC.

One person was ousted for antisemitism.
His guiding politics is based around socialism and improvement of NYC.
He also isn’t guided by Palestine. Dude isn’t even Palestinian. Crazy racist to think all brown skin people are from the same place.
Also “large minority” ???? Brother English please not Russian.
Three people have been exposed as Jew hating but only 1 is no longer on the team
You can keep screaming “racist, racist!” like a clown or you can literally just google it. He is on video saying that his guiding light and “core of his politics” is Palestine. I will be awaiting your apology.

lol. Let's help AIPAC pass a law that declares breathing is antisemitic.
unfortunately pretty much a guaranteed 0% chance this will happen for the next 3 years, given the current admin's relationship with the org's chairman.
Awesome, nice red flag to indicate your opinion can be discarded.
Mehdi’s employer is literally the Qatari goverment. This is insane
[deleted]
He literally works for Al-Jazeera, the state-owned media of Qatar 🤦🏻♂️.
You mean he started his career in journalism working for Al-Jazeera? Or that he is currently employed or funded by Al-Jazeera?
He currently hosts their flagship show, and like you said, he has a long history working for them

It literally is true
Can we please stop using the word weaponize for everything?
Stop weaponizing reasonable requests
I prefer, "SLAMMED".
I’m partial to ‘OWNED’ or even ‘PWNED’. Failing that ‘DESTROYS’.
OBLITERATES
They’re calling this the worst comment section in history
Sleepy comment history. Corrupt comment history. When I do a comment, let me tell you, it’s never sleepy.
He's not wrong, obviously the Trump admin does that. But given who it is he is discussing that fact with, I don't feel that the conversation's conclusion would be "antisemitsm is a problem" so much as "the administration is the problem."

The Palestinians' bravery is unmatched.
Were they brave on October 7th?
^ shill. You're hatred of Muslims says it all.
Aisha stop trying to chalk up any sort of criticism as hatred.
The Trump admin does weaponize antisemitism. I don’t trust Hassan to discuss the topic because he has his own history of antisemitism.
Lmao so we’re only allowed to call it out through the “perfect” messenger?
I’m sure you’d call Jesus himself a bigot if he criticized the president.
lmao Mehdi
Fuck Trump and fuck Mehdi
r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM
No, they’re both grifting PoS
Whats Mehidis grift thats comparable to pedophilic Trump’s embezzling of charity funds via the Trump foundation? Or Trumps grift to enrich himself of billions of dollars via the presidency?

The gulf between Mehdi and Trump is so wide, it can hardly be called centrism.
r/nyc did not like that
Brad Lander has the charisma of a sponge
Don’t really have much of an opinion of lander but mehdi is a propagandist, can’t stand that guy. Honestly just can’t stand impartial people in media in general
The media is supposed to be impartial
His debate style is talk fast and interupt
Mehdi Hasan is anti-Semitic so why would anyone listen to him on this topic…
https://combatantisemitism.org/cam-news/journalist-mehdi-hasan-claims-gaza-genocide-is-worse-than-holocaust/
This is the worst “article” ive ever read in my life
You are delusional if you think Mehdi Hasan is antisemitic. The dude is just anti-Israel not antisemitic.
[deleted]
Half of those citations were from an article of him apologizing for those views "“I have always regretted the dumb and offensive comments I made in my 20s, on atheism and homosexuality,” Hasan tells TheWrap".
Also where in his news coverage has he spoken out against minorities or lgbt? He has been a liberal commentator yelling at right wing media for doing that for a very long time
[deleted]
Which part of his output/journalism don't you like?
True, maybe Mehdi Hasan is a bad journalist
Same thing
It's not the same thing
it is in practice
No it is not. Stop conflating anti Zionism with antisemitism. You are part of the problem.
yes it is. There's no good reason to be anti-Zionist or anti-Israel unless you're antisemitic and hiding behind semantics. They're against Jews and a Jewish state. No one is "Anti-Sudan" and "Anti-Yemen" and the body counts there are multiples higher than the gaza war

I can keep going and posting facts if you wanna keep denying reality and facts
How convenient that literally anyone who has ever disagreed with you about this is actually antisemitic. That’s a fun little rhetorical device you’ve got there.
No it’s not. Stop being delusional.
Mehdi is paid by Qatar, Brad is a communist. Both opinions irrelevant.
Lander is a fucking tool. Always has been.
All Lander cares about is sticking it to Israel and anyone that supports Israel. Give it a rest

Fuckin felon throwing everything out there to save his profoundly fat ass from the Epstein files revelations.
Lander selling out his own people to try to save his flailing political career, pathetic
Way early, but polls showed Lander with a 20 point lead over Goldman in NY-10, perhaps a bit premature to say his political career is flailing
Wow a poll by Data for Progress, "the think tank for the future of progressivism," has the progressive candidate winning??
Progressive polls were way more accurate prognosticating recent local elections than the more established polls.
You doin okay?
And people like Jake Tapper are all into this
The word antisemitic lost all meaning to me when they started calling faithful jewish people antisemitic because they support Palestinians.
"The word lost meaning when it became clear that my political allies hate Jews and may cost me votes"
Kapo are inherently antisemetic lol
Calling Jews who disagree with you that slur is ironically the most antisemitic thing anyone has said in this thread!
Bud, you are trying to tokenize a tiny minority of jews, who are usually not "faithful jews"
Brad Lander is a long-time, self-loathing, anti-Zionist who is buddies with Mamdani and Sarsour, who have been working for years to delegitimize the Jewish state of Israel.

I’m old enough to remember Mr. Lander and his friends weaponized racism so much every shop in SoHo was destroyed and looted. Fuck that piece of shit.
Of all things to say about Trump, lander suggests he's weaponizing antisemitism? Trump signed an antisemitism executive order https://www.splcenter.org/resources/guides/trump-executive-action-antisemitism-faq/
He got, a middle east war to stop, hopefully for good. and hostages home.

All those crazy ass pro-Hamas riots occurred before the Trump presidency though
