“Rats, Roaches…and Jews beware.” Very disappointed you took this interview. Giving someone who will not recognize Israel as a jewish state a platform as big and great as yours is disheartening as a Jewish listener.
Another Jewish listener here. I would encourage you to not allow yourself to conflate the political ideology of Zionism with the religion of Judaism. Zohran seems to deeply care about the Jewish community in New York. He does NOT also need to express support for a genocidal ethnostate in order to protect New York’s Jewish constituents. Andrew Cuomo is taking money from the very same people who put the current president in the White House and who, among other things, put the world’s richest man on the inauguration stage to give a nazi salute and appointed an evangelical Christian as the ambassador to Israel. I would argue that Andrew Cuomo, in addition to not caring about New York’s working class, also does not care about New York’s Jewish constituents.
pretty sure he’s running for mayor of new york and not a member of the knesset? imagine being outraged at the idea of someone saying israel should be recognized as a nation state. to the point of wanting to “deplatform” him. it’s never enough for zionists. your ideological purity tests are useless and have nothing to do with peoples overarching intent for the city in which they are running for office. get fucked.
If you think comparing Zohran Mamdani to Donald Trump or Elon Musk is some kind of gotcha, you’re either terminally online or so ideologically captured that you’ve lost the plot entirely. This isn’t about ‘who gets a mic’ it’s about what kind of power and platform someone holds and what they plan to do with it. Trump is the head of state, Musk is a billionaire industrialist. Zohran is a local politician trying to pass rent control being spoken to by two members of his community. If you genuinely think those three are interchangeable just because other terminally online people disagree with these guys in some way, you’re at the bottom of a deep dark chasm of ideological captivity screaming to a deaf audience.
again, being pressed on live tv about a geopolitical issue and saying israel has the right to exist but should probably be considered a nation state and not a jewish state (the only sane and diplomatic take btw) is not antisemitism.
if the NYC podcasters want to have the 30 year old guy running for mayor of NYC on their podcast they should go ahead and do that. because people in that community who listen to the pod want to hear his ideas laid out in a candid format.
you act like he’s campaigning on jewish hate. just stop it. log off.
zionists need to remember that advocating for the rights of palestinians ≠ antisemitism nor does it have anything to do with religion or ethnicity.
NEW YORK FOR ZOHRAN
Y’all goated for this, I know it was important to y’all because there was never an interruption haha
No “dese nuts” bar? We’re losing the plot.

Unfortunately you’re talking to deaf ears.
Great pod as always.

What would you say if they had Donald Trump or Elon Musk on the Pod?

Just get ALL politics off the pod. Let alone radical, antisemitic politicians (both sides).
