NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani will skip annual parade celebrating Israel

is it "a political entity". And the DR? Is that not a foreign country? Wanto to guess if the mayor will be marching in August?
I’ve already proved that Mamdami has no problem celebrating Jewish heritage and traditions.

Why do you think he has to celebrate a foreign country to represent Americans in NYC?
 
What should Netanyahu done in response to October 7th? What would America have done if , say, Canada would have attacked America in that way?
Resign because he failed to protect the Israeli people.

and you don't seem to understand that this is an Israel parade, not a Jewish one.

Ask me that at the DR parade.

That's what I've been trying to tell you. It has nothing to do with American Jews. It's not about Judaism. It's about Israel.

It's antisemitic to conflate the two.

I don't recall conflating them. He is choosing not to celebrate all the elements of Israel that one would celebrate. Instead, he is taking a political stance against the current government. He doesn't agree with Trump, but I assume he won't refuse to celebrate America.

Great. So it’s a non-issue.

says who? He is picking one celebration and refusing to attend. If he doesn't make that same decision in other cases then his bias, and his lack of connection to a chunk of the population is noted and is a denigrating of his office.

Even though you said you aren't conflating Jewish Americans and Israel, here you are doing it again.

Where do you see me as doing that? I'm specifically not doing that. Don't tell me, show me.
 
Who could have ever seen this coming? NYC Mayor is skipping Israel parade, even though the city he represents is chock full of Jewish people. Doesn't he represent all New York City residents? Isn't this what mayors are supposed to do and have always done in NYC, attend the Israel parade?

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will not attend an annual parade honoring Israel on Sunday, breaking with a decades-long political custom because of his support of Palestinian rights.

Though it has gone by different names over the years, the Israel Day parade has always been a must-attend event for mayors, governors and other political leaders eager to win over the throngs of flag-waving revelers who congregate on Fifth Avenue to celebrate the birth of the Jewish state in 1948.


Jews voted for this. Reap what you sow. Any Jewish person that votes Blue is a self hating dumbass

Here.

He has an excellent connection to the Jewish Americans in NYC. His participation in Passover proves that. Israel has nothing to do with it.

Where was trump on Martin Luther King day?
 
Here.

what chunk of the population did I list? I would say that the chunk is "those New Yorkers who feel a connection to the history, heritage and culture of Israel and celebrate our alliance and our shared history with Israel."

Did I mention religion? Nope. You know why?

His participation in Passover proves that. Israel has nothing to do with it.
Again, you are talking about religion (and a small subset of religion, not the religion as a whole). Stay focused.

Eagles' Wings International -- they are marching, and they aren't the only Christian group marching. It isn't about Judaism.
 
15th post
They are having an Israel parade in NYC, always have had and all of NY's politicians have always attended, including the NYC mayor. That is part of the job description of a mayor, to attend these events. Does this mayor represent his city, or doesn't he?
This parade looks very DEI and so be eliminated.
 
There is the dodge. Answer is undoubtedly, no. It’s a difficult existence but you would not understand
maga has no use for precedent or longstanding tradition, so why the whining over this?
