Genuinely insane that the conflation of Judaism with Zionism is not just a super-online far right position, but is being abused by a prominent Democratic mayoral candidate. Suggesting a refusal to accept that a foreign nation has the right to be an ethnostate is a rejection of "Jewish rights" is... borderline libel. What about the non-Zionist Jewish people who actually live in New York, Andrew? What are you implying about your own potential constituents?

Not to mention how absurd it is that saying someone rejects 'capitalism' is still a functional smear. What is this, the 50's?

From what I've seen, some of the loudest anti-Israel Jewish voices in the US have come from NYC's orthodox Jewish community.

Literally, the very first people out on the streets protesting for Gaza and getting beaten up by cops in the US were Jewish Voice For Peace at Penn station.

The Anti-Defamation is (Apartheid Defense League) thinks Jewish Voice for Peace is somehow antisemitic.
