Did you watch the clip and hear what he said?  It was pretty clear he was doing what he has been doing pretty much this entire campaign, keeping the subject on NYC and not getting dragged into commenting on geopolitics.  It's just such a weak take to suggest that Mamdani calling for peace and hoping for the enforcement of international law to maintain and continue to secure a peace is somehow him saying that "Hamas shouldn't lay down their arms."  At least with regard to that clip, he never says what is being insinuated in the X post.  Just a lazy substanceless effort at a smear.

Ok

 

 

 

We told you Obama was this (a radical commie pretending to be a moderate “no red America no blue America!”).  

You didn’t understand.  Or ignored it. Brushed it off as slander. 
 

Obama was indeed an unqualified Marxist street agitator.  Unfit to lead anything.  Because he hates this country. 
 

As does this POS

He doesn’t want to get dragged into commenting on geopolitics.

Trivia questions...

 

Where was Mamdani during the Arab Spring during Obama's term?

 

Which NGO was he working for?

 

Associated with which intelligence agency?

Did YOU watch the clip?  At the end it was mentioned he wants to arrest Netanyahu if he steps foot in NYC.  How is that not inserting himself into geopolitics?  He can't have it both ways.

 

Just a lazy substanceless effort to assist your favorite flavor of the minute commie.

Don't you dare call the PPP poster "Che Guevara" a Marxist or commie!

So the clip is 43 seconds, it cuts out before Mamdani can answer the question regarding Netanyahu (I'm going to look for the whole interview somewhere because I am curious to how he responded to that question too).  And also, Netanyahu was not the issue of the post regarding Mamdani.  The post states that Mamdani says something that he never said in that clip.  It is just disingenuous.  And, I know, you guys are all fired up about my Handle or what I am saying here, but I think this is all really simple.  If a post says someone says something and they don't say it within the context of the evidence given, then that post is either built on ignorance or it is purposefully disingenuous.  I realize a lot of you don't like Mamdani and would like him to lose this election, everyone has their own electoral perspectives.  But, I think it discredits the critic when they are inaccurate.  And, this particular post is a misrepresentation, which really doesn't help anyone take that critic seriously.

 

As for the rest of the comments made, I'm open to hearing all sorts of perspectives, it is actually why I have been scrolling PPP for years.  And, whether any of you like me, my statements, my Handle, or my perspectives is not something I am at all concerned.  I think PPP is a great place to learn what people think in a pretty raw and unfiltered way.  And, at least for me, I can get a sense of the depths of the political binary in this country.  I do think that it is a real binary too, but I also find the binary to be an oddity because I think it is fomenting unnecessary tribalism.

So I found the whole video, the Fox interview, and am attaching it here.  The interviewer asks Mamdani about arresting Netanyahu and his response is that he (Mamdani) believes in enforcing the law (including being complimentary of NYC's current police chief) and this includes international law.  Because the ICC has ruled that Netanyahu should be tried for war crimes and because Mamdani believes that the enforcement of international law is important, it seems he would not be opposed to attempting to apprehend Netanyahu if Netanyahu was in NYC. 

 

With regard to this segment as geopolitical, yes, there is definitely a geopolitical element and there is also a NYC element to the question.  So, not speaking on the geopolitics of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict beyond calling for peace makes sense for Mamdani and consistent with his approach of not really taking positions on matters that lay outside of the purview of NYC.  And, answering the question about Netanyahu also makes sense, even with the geopolitical element, because the question pertained to Mamdani's view of Netanyahu entering NYC.  In fairness to Mamdani here, he is saying he believes in enforcing the law, including international law, and since Netanyahu has been identified by the ICC as a war criminal, then it becomes a matter pertinent to NYC and the enforcement of the law in NYC to apply that to Netanyahu.  I would stand by the idea that Mamdani seems to be trying very hard to stay on message and keep the conversation about NYC and, in this instance regarding Netanyahu, there is an overlap of a geopolitical issue and NYC, so, for consistency sake, he has to address the question more directly.

The guy that ran with “defund the police” over and over again is now just concerned with enforcing the law. Do you actually believe that?
