OPINION:
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was chased out of a Manhattan park by a man who called him an antisemite, and who demanded he denounce the terror group Hezbollah as well as Sharia law.
Good. Mamdani, a proud socialist — which is to say, communist — ought to be chased out of America, as well. Communists have no business being in the United States, unless they’re here fleeing communism in their own countries and are in process of renouncing communism and denouncing all the “isms” that aren’t aligned with capitalism and conservativism or even classical liberalism. Progressivism? Go. Democratic-socialism? Go quickly. Socialism? Communism? Marxism? Shouldn’t even be here in the first place.
And that goes double for socialists and communists and Marxists seeking political office in America.
“Antisemite! Antisemite! … Denounce Sharia law! Denounce Hezbollah! Denounce it — you can’t denounce it … you f—-ing rat,” a man yelled at Mamdani, who said nothing in reply but rather ducked under cover of his security detail into the safety of his waiting black stretch SUV, according to video posted on X. Nice.
Mamdani’s wife, meanwhile, was out and about mourning the death of Salih al-Jafarawi, a Palestinian influencer who went by the name of “Mr. FAFO,” and who was affectionately known in Israelis circles as a propaganda tool of Hamas who had cheered the terror group’s Oct. 7, 2023, murderous attack.
“He was also accused of pocketing millions raised for Gaza residents, including funds for a children’s hospital,” The Times of India reported.
Eh. Children, schmildren.
Or, as Hamas calls them, human shields.
Anyway: Like husband, like wife. Like wife, like husband.
“Mamdani Dodges Straight Answer When CNN Asks If Trump Deserves Credit For Brokering Ceasefire,” The Daily Caller wrote.
He said, in part: “What this [Israel-Hamas] peace agreement can never do is erase what the last few years of tragedy have been for so many, whether it be Hamas’s horrific war crime of October 7 or the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians since.”
The man chasing Mamdani through the park has a valid point.
Only an antisemite would equate a Muslim terror group’s unprovoked and savage assault on an innocent largely Jewish population with that innocent Jewish population’s subsequent attempt to defend itself; only an antisemite would turn blind eyes toward a Muslim terror group’s mission to eradicate an entire Jewish nation and people, while accuse the Jewish nation and people who fight for their right to exist of genocide.
Only a despicable antisemite would dare suggest that publicly.
“’They’re basically Hamas’: Zohran Mamdani’s wife mourns death of Palestinian influencer who celebrated Oct 7 attack,” as The Times of India wrote.
Like husband, like wife. Like wife, like husband.
Mamdani, with his mayoral plans to provide free (that is, tax-paid) child care, and free (that is, taxpayer funded) healthcare for kids, and free (that is, Joe Q. Taxpayer paid) transportation, and semi-free (that is, Jane Q. Taxpayer funded) housing —yes, that Mamdani — well, he can take his socialist-slash-Marxist-slash-communist antisemite self, and his wife, and head south to the border, to socialist points South America, or south to Florida, to sail the seas to Cuba.
And take Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders along, as well.
The last thing America needs right now is another socialist antisemite serving in public office, feeding off the taxpayer dollar, destroying all that’s great and free and moral about this country.
