“When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organisation that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people, not just in Palestine, but frankly, through much of the region, and it is a status quo for immorality,” Mamdani said on Monday at City Hall.
The mayor noted that more than 1,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israeli forces since a US-brokered “ceasefire” was agreed last October to halt Israel’s genocidal war.
“And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13,” said Mamdani, New York City’s first Muslim mayor.

Fuck the AIPAC with a rusty, broken off pitch fork.
every agent of AIPAC should be arrested, tried and jailed for being subversive foreign agents.
Pitchfork goes in too easily. Might I offer you one of the fine assortment of rusty spoons in our collection in order to really drag out the agony? We do have other more blunt options as well.
Now now, let’s not speak of violence.
~Announcing intentions is a bad idea.~
5 stars for the 5th Reich!
Al Jazeera should have just duplicated/linked to Jerusalem Post :D
AIPAC is leading the political fight to keep Congress pro-Israel, helping pro-Israel candidates win elections and helping defeat detractors of the U.S.-Israel relationship. AIPAC’s members contribute directly to Democratic and Republican candidates through the AIPAC PAC. As the largest pro-Israel PAC, our members demonstrate that being pro-Israel is both good policy and good politics.
Americans will be mad if the word “Israel” is replaced by words like “China”, assuming they can read.
Good. AIPAC, and really all PACs, should not exist. Israel does not need our aid, they are a rich country. They use our own money from aid to legally bribe politicians to keep giving them our money in aid. It’s bull shit.
I wish 2Pac was still rappin
We should start our own PAC and call it II-PAC.

Strange reaction for a hard miss
Do you need help with comprehension, or was this a joke that completely whiffed?
I assumed it was a joke myself.

Such a compelling argument. I’m sure you get your way in life often. You could at least start by explaining what letter soup you are talking about.
Quit making me idolize him dammit

I will support ANY politician that doesn’t want to KILL.
In short, isn’t THAT the job? Prevent death.
Generally, the chief objectives of a country are to maintain its borders, protect its people, enforce its monopoly on the use of force and maintain sovereignty over its external politics.
Protecting its people implies preventing them from death, but there is no direct implication about the death of other people in this purely utilitarian framing.
However, there is also no justification for attacking other countries and infringing on their borders, harming their people or threatening their sovereignty. In fact, considering that such a war may end up hurting your own people, it seems to me that starting and prosecuting one without necessity (e.g. the need to fulfil your other objectives in absence of less destructive implements of power) contradicts these objectives.
So basically, yeah, unless necessary to protect their constituents, it would be their job to prevent death. And that’s not even taking morals and human rights into account, nor the charge to represent the will of their constituents in democratic systems.
Mine was shorter.
Thanks!
Yours was a concise rhetorical question. Mine was a lengthy answer to support your point.
Criticising Israel is widely popular even on the right (barring both the antisemites and MAGA with their delusions to bring Jews into Israel to fulfill their doomsday fantasies).
