Wow @ZohranKMamdani’s responses to Colbert on Israel Palestine.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani He’s trying to paint himself is a good light in the last possible second… we know who he is

@jerflash @ZohranKMamdani We’ve worked with him for years. We know who he is. Which is why he’s the leading progressive candidate among Jews in this city. Even in a race with two Jewish candidates, one of which endorse him.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani 1/4 New Yorkers are living in poverty and we’re asking mayoral candidates about Israel… šŸ™ƒ

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Is Zohran seeking the mayorship of New York or Tel Aviv? Seriouslly Asking Mamdani about Israel and antisemitism while asking Lander about his achievements, fk Colbert.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani I mean the entire framing of this question is cooked. Colbert is an absolute genocide apologist.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Colbert is effectively minimizing the genocide. He is effectively acting as a genocide enabler here

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani The guy is a natural. He has charisma, bravery and a strong moral core. He has what it takes to go far in politics.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Colbert tried his best to do a hit piece, and Zohran handled it with grace.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani i understand why zohran doesn’t pivot but it’s shameful that we have these discussions every day without even mentioning islamophobia or the increase in hate crimes against palestinians in the us

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani The sweet irony of Zohran calling for peace, togetherness and integration, while the comments are filled with hysterical islamophobic nonsense and othering/divisive rhetoric.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Hats off to Mamdani for his ability to answer the most farcical questions with such charisma and intelligence.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Obviously any candidate who wants to have a shot at winning an election has to hedge their story arc, but he stuck the landing. Extremely smart politics here but even better underlying fundamentals the party (and blue cities) are desperately in need of

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani @StephenAtHome when will they start asking if Palestine has a right to exist?

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani I don’t think Colbert is being malicious and he probably got an insane amount of pressure.. but there’s this thing with this where the laser focus leads to awkward situations like a Catholic questioning a Muslim on Antisemitism and the Jewish panelist asks ā€œcan I cut in here?ā€

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani If you cannot agree with this, YOU are the problem!

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani dude this is beautiful. it's nice to see a Jewish man and a Muslim man coming together respectfully. would love to see more of that in the world

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani We had all this weary old bollox with Corbyn (it's still going on). Stop pretending these accusations are made in good faith: they are plainly not. Do not attempt to appease these people, they cannot be appeased. Learn from us. #ItWasAScam

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Why, why, why does the focus have to be on Israel? I found Colbert's line of questioning of Mamdani annoying.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani I wish his answers weren't so polished and he spent more time candidly pointing out the fraudulance of the antisemitism thing rather than pandering to it. This sort of thing shouldn't be indulged and needs to be called out for the bad faith manipulation that it is. That said, his

@rafaelshimunov @Jemima_Khan @ZohranKMamdani I have heard a few hours ago that Zohran Mamdani is winning Inn Sha Allah āœŒļø

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Thank you Rafael for sharing this bro ā¤ļø

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani I can’t wait for times where we don’t define our entire political life by religion. How great would that be ? Humanity would finally be put forward. I asked ChatGPT about practice of religion in NYC. It’s very telling.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani This liberal Zionist scapegoating of Netanyahu is incredibly disingenuous.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani This question matters, but so taken aback by Colbert making it the central issue of the interview (not housing, not crime, not schools) and then doubled down on the Islamophobia and bigotry against Zhoran Mamdani. This was an ambush. Were CBS higher ups behind this?

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Looks like the guy has mastered sweet talk, but behind it is his vision of turning New York into another London

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani Talking about the elephant in the room... has anyone stopped to ask the question of why is there a rise in antisemitism? the answer is when we watch how evil Israelis have become the bragging about killing civilians, The live footage of shooting a civilian in front of the British

@rafaelshimunov @sheisartmoney @ZohranKMamdani He's going to be a senator one day, and if folks can get over their racism and Islamophobia and calls for anything shared as bad, governor or heck, president.

@rafaelshimunov @ZohranKMamdani The crux of the matter.
