Joshua Zeitz @joshuamzeitz.bsky.social · 07/10/2026On the anniversary of October 7, Mamdani devoted nearly 3x as many words to condemning Israel as to mourning the Jewish victims of Gaza’s attempted genocide of Israeli Jews. The DSA can’t let Jewish grief stand on its own even for a moment. It is a racist, antisemitic political organization. 010

Joshua Zeitz @joshuamzeitz.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I think Musk AND Piker are antisemites. But what I think even more is that Jewish people are entitled to decide how we define antisemitism.
