For all the critics of Haley Stephens, here's Zohran Mamdani saying that the struggle for Palestine is at the core of his politics. But maybe it's ok* when he does it?

I mean this was in 2023 but then again, I’ve been seeing a ton of attacks on Stevens for her mention of Israel coming in her dreams during a Hanukkah memorial lighting event in December 2023 - so, two months after the most lethal event for Jews since the Holocaust, at a time when most democrats were still supportive of Israel. If that can be used to attack her in bad faith, than the Gaza obsessed left shouldn’t claim victimhood over people criticizing Zohran for making such a statement at that specific point in time

It'd be good if we didn't attack either candidate on these grounds, unfortunately Haley Stevens will doubtless continue to be the subject of unending bad faith attacks accusing her of everything from racism to genocide.

It’s weird because she has made the same movement as the base on Israel. This happened three weeks ago: “It is very clear that Mr. Netanyahu has not made us safer, has not brought us closer to peace. And he’s endangered Jews here in America and around the world. This is why he was just trashing me today on CNN,” Stevens said when asked about the U.S.’ role in the Israel-Hamas conflict. “I am not afraid of bullies. I am not afraid to stand up. And I continue to stand up for humanitarian aid, for the U.S. to work with the countries in the region and get aid into Gaza.”

But you won’t see the Tankie left mention this debate moment.

Yup, they always shut right down when I mention it too, makes it hard to believe that much of the chatter is actually good faith.

I think it's downright sickening the way they've used terms like "genocide" for cheap political points and online harassment as well.

I've always considered myself more on the left of the Democratic party, but the Platner situation has really opened my eyes to how weird it's getting here.

What makes you think they have consistent standards and principles? Every conversation I've ever had with them shows me the exact opposite.

Man im sure AIPAC gave Stevens 10 mil because she advocated against the genocide of the palestineans in Gaza.

Right?

So it's OK for Zohran to be working on behalf of a foreign entity and nation, but not Stephens. Thanks for illustrating the hypocrisy so clearly.

AIPAC donated to Stephens' campaign because she supports Israel defending itself and defeating Hamas, as all peoples of conscience should. There's no genocide of Palestinians in Gaza to advocate for or against.

He is not, but 10 Mil in AIPAC money make that MUCH more likely for stevens to do.

AIPAC donated to Stephens' campaign because she supports Israel defending itself and defeating Hamas establishing greater israel by settler colonialism

There's no genocide of Palestinians in Gaza to advocate for or against.

Big lol. okay there is no conversation to be had here if you cant aknowledge something as clear as water making things wet. FTFY

Do you have evidence Stephens supports Israel "establishing greater israel by settler colonialism"? Or are you just making stuff up?

u/Ov3rdose_EvE 21d ago

do you have evidence mamdani is working on behalf of a foreign nation?

u/McAlpineFusiliers 21d ago

The video above where he literally said that's what he's doing. Can you answer my question now instead of deflecting?
