Bloomberg Shocked to Discover NYC Mayoral Debate Includes Israel
When Bloomberg casts 'Israel' as a battleground issue in a NYC mayoral debate, one might wonder if they meant 'AIPAC donations' or 'critiques of US foreign policy.' Zohran Mamdani, a sitting Assemblyman, has been a vocal critic of Israeli government actions. Andrew Cuomo, on the other hand, boasts a long history of alignment with pro-Israel stances, including legislation he signed as Governor that
targeted the BDS movement. The crucial context Bloomberg omits is how deep those allegiances run within the Democratic party, often solidified by significant financial support from pro-Israel PACs. It appears the 'debate' isn't just about abstract positions, but about the very real implications of US-Israel policy on public opinion, especially in diverse cities like New York. How quaint for a
mayoral debate to touch upon anything beyond parking tickets, especially when global affairs are so neatly compartmentalized by mainstream media.
