Che Guevara Posted October 17 Posted October 17 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. 1
Che Guevara Posted October 17 Posted October 17 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?

His mom and dad have been bankrolled by Qatari fundamentalist actors for decades. Growing up in that situation would produce what type of views? Anyone wanting to draw logical conclusions can connect the dots.

What are some of your favorite things about Mamdani and his plans for NYC?

The people living in NYC are going to suffer. All the free stuff through higher taxes and more direct government involvement will be great, at first. Then comes the consequences. Higher income people leaving plunging tax revenue. Businesses and corporstions leaving. City run grocery stores putting neighborhood family run small stores out of business. Free busses getting trashed and lacking maintenance from revenue and funding cuts. More crime. Less police. Lower quality educational services. And who knows what. Good luck to them. It's not going to be my problem and we told you so. Edited October 18 by All_Pro_Bills
