Let’s talk about Zohran Mamdani – Democratic Socialist, BDS supporter, and NYC mayoral hopeful – and how @nytimes is running PR for him while gaslighting Jews with headlines like this. 👇
Small fact NYT skips?
60% of Jews say they’d feel less safe under Mamdani.
2/
The lies start early. NYT says BDS wants to “economically isolate” Israel.
What BDS leaders actually say: they want to end Israel as a Jewish state.
That’s not economic pressure. That’s eliminationism.
Also, are we meant to applaud Mamdani’s ignorance on apartheid?
3/
To back its case, NYT quotes… “Jews for Racial and Economic Justice” (JFREJ).
Cool name.
But after Hamas’s Oct 7 massacre, JFREJ rushed to condemn Israel – not Hamas – for “unimaginable” violence.
That’s their go-to Jewish voice.
4/
NYT went to a JFREJ event with “two dozen Jewish families.” They quoted:
🔹 A JFREJ activist
🔹A Mamdani campaigner
Both gush about how Mamdani isn’t antisemitic – just misunderstood.
Totally neutral reporting, right?
5/
No NYT puff piece for an anti-Israel candidate is complete without a quote from Jewish Voice for Peace – a fringe group that wants Israel dismantled and is barely even Jewish.
All to sell the line that Mamdani speaks for “the Jewish community.”
6/
Let’s be honest: @nytimes wants to endorse Mamdani.
But most Jews see through him.
So they’re working overtime to sanitize his record — just enough to keep the readers who haven’t unsubscribed yet.
Not journalism. Just damage control.
