For the liberals who think it it doesn’t matter he claims Israeli captives are being tortured while not even mentioning the same for the Palestinians in extermination camps: your medicare won’t matter to him either. Stop torturing billionaires.
Palestine is the ultimate litmus test.
When palestinians capture mostly POWs, it's called "hostages" and "torture". When israelis capture mostly civilians and then actually torture them, it's called "detention". Get your nomenclature right folks, or you're an antisemite!
It sounds like Zohran agrees with you, in calling the Palestinian civilians seized by Israeli aggressors "Israeli hostages".
He also states it was a genocide funded by the US. Calls Isrealian bombing relentless, take for granted there was and apartheid and focus on the likely scenario of it continuing unchallenged.
It's clearly a post antagonizing Israel. I'll fucking take it.
If Zohran was a milquetoast DNC shill with no past record on Palestine I'd take it. But he's backtracking from his original position of fully supporting Palestinians, to spreading fake lies about Israeli captives being tortured while not mentioning actual Palestinians being tortured.
Caving to Zionists has never worked and there's no reason to do so, ask Jeremy Corbyn.
Zohran is now lying and throwing Palestinians under the bus to further his own career.
So, in short, he made sure to continue the liberal Zionist framing of "it's a sad situation with atrocities on both sides, but the important thing is that we, enlightened western liberals, secure the peaceful submission of the Palestinian savages, so that we can finally have the chance to rule them benevolently, and maybe in the distant future, we can even talk about giving them human rights."
Once again proving you cannot trust the DSA. Not surprising, since the org has links to intelligence, and the national level is stacked with Dem operatives.
I might be missing something, but it reads like he's saying "Israeli hostages" as in "hostages taken by Israel" based on how he mentions families returning to rubble in Gaza.
I'm reading it that way, too. It's unfortunate wording, but if you read past the first statement, he's clearly discussing the attacks on Palestine by Israel. Immediately after that opening, Zohran writes "Relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians"; using "Israeli" to mean {enacted by Israel}. I'm going to go with the best and say that Zohran writing "Israeli hostages" means {hostages Israel held} and not {hostages from Israel}.
Well, that's a fucking disappointing way to start my day...
Don't worry, its just a psyop
The entire segment he got famous for was that "Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights" clip. With people pretending that was some kind of radical take and not literally the "Israeli" propaganda about what their state is. And now here's definitively proven them wrong. So what is his value? "MAGA tears"?
This reads to me as someone who is a Zionist trying to pretend like they are a leftist attacking Mamdani from the left.
Edit: after reading the replies I am doubling down on my statement. This is 100% right wing or centrist rage baiters lol. I think they forget this is a New York mayoral election also.
This reads to me as someone who is a Zionist trying to pretend like they are a leftist attacking leftists from the right.

Turn your monitor on
You'll die before a righteous "hero" becomes powerful in America in any considerable way. But good shouldn't be the enemy of "not as horrible", right? Idk.
Zei_squirrel is a zei_onist and a psyop
What
Its just a bunch of nonsense that tries to drive a wedge between the left. Anyone with common sense can tell that Mamdani has a good heart and is looking to make real, impact impactful policy with human dignity at its core. Anyone who says otherwise at this point is a psyop or is engaging in the exact behavior that a psyop would. And driving a wedge against one of the few pro-palestinian politicians is zionist behavior.
This is our next mayor New York, thank goodness
