NY Times Forgets What 'Global Jihad' Accusations Trigger
Zohran Mamdani, during his NYC mayoral campaign, issued a statement against Islamophobia, citing his family's experience. This, the NY Times reports, followed rival Curtis Sliwa's charming accusation that Mamdani supports 'global jihad.' It’s almost as if the establishment media wants us to focus on the 'condemnation' rather than the unhinged incitement. Sliwa's rhetoric isn't just 'rival
politics'; it’s a dog whistle straight out of the post-9/11 playbook, a fear-mongering tactic rarely, if ever, leveled against, say, Christian Zionist politicians who openly advocate for an apocalyptic vision involving the Middle East. The double standard is as subtle as a cruise missile. One might wonder if the NY Times, in its earnest reporting of Mamdani's response, is perhaps creating an echo
chamber for Sliwa's inflammatory remarks, allowing such xenophobic smears to gain traction disguised as 'political discourse.' After all, how many times do we watch politicians accuse rivals of cartoonish evils, only for the subsequent 'condemnation' to become the story, effectively amplifying the initial attack while appearing to disapprove? It’s a propaganda loop where the audience is
conditioned to accept the premise.
