Mamdani’s New York victory boosts pro-Palestine politics in US

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has bold plans for New York City. He wants to establish city-owned grocery stores, build more homes, make buses free and freeze rents for subsidised tenants.

But in the lead-up to the Democratic primary on Tuesday, his opponents and media outlets seemed more concerned by his views on the conflict between Israel and Palestine. He is a vocal defender of Palestinian rights who has decried Israeli abuses and echoed the assessment of rights groups that Israel’s assault on Gaza is a genocide.

Mamdani did not back down from his positions, and he won, edging out former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had more institutional support and was backed by record spending.

Mamdani’s supporters say his victory could be an inflexion point in US politics that shows the electoral viability of left-wing policies and support for Palestinian rights.

Trump’s extraordinary announcement on Iran sanctions amidst praise for bravery

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Iran was free to sell oil to China adding that the Islamic Republic needed to rebuild the country. Rifat Jawaid dissects Trump’s press conference in The Hague to conclude that Iran’s ability to hit Israel hard followed by its decision to fire ballistic missiles at the US military base in Qatar appears to have left Trump shaken. Hence this seismic change in attitude towards Tehran.

The GOP in a frothing bigoted rage over Mamdani's win:

Trump to Iran: "you got two weeks or we may get involved"

Trump after a week or so: "let's bomb Iran and talk about what a crazy secret mission nobody would've expected it was"

Trump a few days after the bombing: "Iran would've never secured enriched Iranium because it could take two weeks and they knew we're coming and wouldn't be there a week after I said they got to weeks"

So, DT has a big red button on some box, and in the old sci-fi movies you'd see the president push that before they launched the nukes.  That's what vance was scared of.  lmao, DT can have a deranged sense of humor.

Trump calls for Netanyahu’s ‘witch hunt’ corruption trial in Israel to be cancelled

US President Trump has praised Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for being a “WARRIOR” in Israel’s recent war with Iran, and said he was “shocked” to just learn that the Israeli leader will face a hearing on Monday in a long-running corruption trial.

“Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State [of Israel],” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday.

Trump described Netanyahu’s trial as a “politically motivated case”, a “witch hunt” and a “travesty of justice”.

“It was the United States of America that saved Israel [in its war with Iran], and now it is going to be the United States of America that saves Bibi Netanyahu,” he said.

In 2019, Israeli prosecutors indicted Netanyahu on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The trial began in 2020 and involves three criminal cases.

Netanyahu could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of bribery, and a maximum three-year term for fraud and breach of trust. Netanyahu has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

He claimed to be unwell at the last hearing, left court and launched the attack on Iran...

I feel like it's been a while since I've seen so many right wingers be so openly and unapologetically racist at the same time. 

You got Matt Walsh complaining about foreign borns (legal immigrants) and white replacement.  

You got Charlie Kirk with Islamophobia. 

You got Stephen Miller complaining about foreign borns.  

Mamdani must be doing something right, if they have their panties in a twist.

The open racism against Mamdani has been insane, it sort of reminds me of how the rest of UK react to London's Muslim Mayor who is apparently terrible and awful and destroying London and everyone must evacuate London!!!!! But Mamdani hate has been way worse, I'm seeing people even point out 9/11 as a reason why he shouldn't have won, like WTF.

AIPAC has lost the plot too, so has mainstream media owned by billionaires.

Yeah, it's gonna get bad.

Newsmax host Rob Finnerty: "Radical Muslim fanatics brought down the Twin Towers in September, 24 years ago. And now New York City might make a Muslim their mayor 24 years later. Is that progress, or have I missed something here?"
