Who hates Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani, the young American politician of Indian origin, skyrocketed to fame and glory by making videos in which he talked about issues that were important to the American people and to New Yorkers especially. Mamdani raised voice against the issues of rising rent, expensive bus fares, taxi drivers being exploited and so forth. In short, he captured the imagination of the average New Yorkers, the general people that call New York home. People love him. And his catapult to power is a vivid testament to that.

There is an unwritten code within the American political, journalistic, and even Hollywood world that criticism of Israel is to be avoided. This is a virtual law that even imams and general people that frequent the mosques in America also adhere to very religiously. They may, just may, talk about Gaza and the genocide but that is as far as they can go. I go to the mosque and in Friday service, I desperately wait to hear one phrase that Israel is committing genocide, or that Israel is committing terrorism or aggression or that Israel is a terrorist state. Even the word Israel is not uttered. I am seriously thinking about not going to the mosques anymore. I am sure Allah Almighty will accept my prayers from home or from work. If I cannot hear people speak the truth inside the House of Allah then something is terribly wrong. Fear and mosques can't coexist.

My biggest reason to support and be in awe of Mamdani is that he is a walking example of someone who broke that virtual ceiling. What he represents is that you could be openly critical of Israel and still be elected to an important public office in America. As everyone knows, you can criticise America inside America but you cannot criticise Israel inside America. For him to say that as mayor of New York, he will make sure Netanyahu is arrested should he ever visit New York comes as music.

Mamdani's rise is also testament to the almost unspoken fact that the American people, especially the young ones, are not like the older generation, to which supporting the state of Israel was enshrined in the Holy Bible and they were only acting as good Christians by supporting Israel unquestioningly.

Mamdani is talking about improving the lives of the Americans living in his city. He is talking about helping the poor and the ignored segments of society. Why would those very patriotic aspirations be hated by any American politician or media pundit who cares about America first? Unless America is not their priority but rather they are serving a master that lives far away on a stolen land, that drinks stolen water and breathes stolen air, but manages to pay these American clowns using the American tax money. Mamdani is the embodiment of an American politician who is not controlled by Israel. And that makes him hated by those who have already been zombified.

Ted Cruz, Ben Shapiro and a bunch of other loyal slaves of Israel criticise Mamdani reflexively because that is what they are paid to do. Yes, these clowns are paid by Israel using American money. Yes, there is a weird and convoluted system that Israel has managed to put in place. Hatred of Muslims and reminders of violent jihad are keys to Israel's overall strategy to control the minds of the American people. They are failing to do it this time around but nevertheless, the strategy hasn't changed.

As long as there is noise about Muslims being dangerous and Christians and Jews being tied together  — nevermind that Jews killed Jesus and nevermind that the mention of Israel in the Bible is not the same as Netanyahu and the stolen Palestinian land where this mad state exists — the American people will continue to believe the version where Israel is a victim. That is precisely why we saw more tweets of 9/11 images during those days and nights of the election than on the anniversary of 9/11.

Mamdani still won. But paid hate still looms large.
