“I said on the campaign trail that I wouldn’t be attending, and I’ve made my views on the Israeli government clear,” Mamdani said at the same briefing.
I don’t like the actions of the State of Israel or the Apartheid elements in its Constitution. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t care about them either way since it would be just another normal country.
As for the rest, your argument fails miserably because, well, the core things which you imply are false:
Most Jews living in NYC are not immigrants.
Israel is not the country of origin of most Jews in NYC, quite the opposite - it’s a nation that aims for all Jews to go live there.
In fact the only way of twisting the objective reality to fit that idea that Jews in NYC are Israeli Immigrants it’s through the Zionist ideological view that all Jews are inherently Israeli, (an “interesting” take for New Yorkers given that part of the Jewish Community living in New York activelly believes for religious reasons that Israel should not exist).
So either way you’re either massivelly distorting the truth to build an “argument” on those falsehoods, in which case that’s all bullshit OR you genuinelly believe the Zionist (and very anti-semitic) idea that all Jews are not citizens of anywhere else but Israel (hence those in NYC are immigrants from Israel) in which case you’re making my point that the parade is for the political ideology of Zionism.
