Zohran’s latest statement is disgraceful. It hides behind the language of morality while reinforcing the same frameworks that dehumanize Palestinians.
He begins by calling October 7 a “horrific war crime,” centering Israeli suffering as the starting point of the story. That framing erases the decades of siege, occupation, and systematic killing that led to that day. It makes Palestinian resistance seem like senseless violence rather than a response to unending colonization.
He follows with mourning for Gaza, but only after reaffirming that Palestinian resistance must first be condemned. This is what passes for “balance” in liberal politics: treating a colonized people’s fight for survival as a moral failure while describing their annihilation as a humanitarian tragedy.
By calling for “diplomacy, not war crimes,” Zohran implies that both sides are equally guilty, softening the reality of a one-sided genocide into the language of “conflict.” He refuses to name power, which is the easiest way to protect it.
Invoking “universal human rights” sounds principled, but it empties the struggle of its political meaning. Palestinians are not asking for abstract ideals. They are demanding freedom, return, and liberation from a settler state built on their destruction.
At a time when Gaza is being erased, statements like this do not show courage. They show complicity.
Zion Mamdani :kelly:
Holy shit, this post is insane, both Hamas and Israel are bad. Israel is worse for committing genocide. Hamas is a terrorist organization that if given power would take away rights based on religious beliefs. Israeli citizens, like any civilians, don’t deserve to be randomly killed. Zohran is right on the money here. This isn’t him moving right, this is actually the most damaging take to the hegemon.
Y’all are psychos and FBI plants.
Imagine calling a resistance to a genocide ‘terrorists’ and equating them with literal genocidaires.
You would have been on the side of Germany in 1930-1940s.
Hamas is imperfect but good actually you fucking dumbass.
Shut up libshit
Ouch, you got me. Put that in your report to your FBI boss. I’m sure you will get a raise.
Fucking loser I regularly get fucked with by the FBI go shove yourself headfirst in a dirty toilet
Idk bruh, one side is literally fighting against a genocide. Also, none of this is new, if you have moved to Israel in the last 90 or so years you are absolutely complicit in the occupation and genocide.
This is of course assuming any of our opinions, especially Zohran’s, actually matter to and are inherently damaging to, the hegemon, which is hilarious. Opinions, especially weak shit both-sides hand-wringing do not damage the hegemon. If it was actually dangerous they would kill you.

Don’t forget this dude is running for MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY.
He is not running for a national position with foriegn policy at the forefront of his role. This is such an insane scenario…
Bring that Hexbear poster that claimed to work on the campaign back so we can dunk extra-toxic style.
Look all I’m saying is every political prediction I’ve made has become reality and that clearly is not good for my ego, this will surely not result in a tragic outcome where I make the wrong bet and lose it all.
Until then, please address me as Marx 2, thank you.
oh well, maybe the next socdem candidate will be different
Trust the science.
All the literature suggests this is the right approach for public officials why are we pretending otherwise
Somebody with more patience than me needs to do up an October 7 effortpost, because I’m so goddamn tired of reading about hAmAs WaRcRiMeS when they didn’t even know there would be a festival there in the first place. It was supposed to end on October 6! It only got extended to the 7th a few days earlier.
Coincidentally, the IOF was aware of the attack weeks in advance. Why’d they rubber stamp the festival extension when they knew what was gonna happen?
Maybe also discuss all the burned out cars. Why’d they get a burial?
All the things that Zionists say about Hamas targeting children or babies are lies. This is based on the full victims list published by Israel.
- around 1200 Israelis were killed
- 400 of 1200 killed were Israeli forces
- 800 of 1200 killed were Israeli civilians
- Only around 35 of 1200 killed were children (under age of 18).
- Only 1 Israeli baby was killed on October 7. The baby died from being hit by a stray bullet.
If anything, these numbers indicate that Hamas avoided killing children. Around 3% of Israelis killed on October 7 were children. Compared to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, around 40% of Palestinians killed by Israel were children.
Also Israel initiated the Hannibal Directive on October 7. This means that Israel intentionally killed their own civilians. Some of the Israeli children may have been killed by Israel.
Also, an unknown percentage of dead Israelis were killed by the IDF
You used this phrase “israeli civilians”, a term that is contradictory. Settlers cannot be civillians, and all israelis are reservists and must serve a term in the Army.
EI did a great summary here
why must it be a Twitter thread
Food for thought why the electoral “left” in the US is a hitlerite everywhere else.
The mythology of Oct. 7th works so well because it’s the same playbook for Sept. 11th, 2001 attacks.
Oh I didn’t know about all that other than the cars
Got Bernie’d again. Palestine really is the lens that exposes these DemSocs for what they really are.
The reality of foreign affairs strikes again.
Those who dance next to a concentration camp don’t deserve a single tear. Sometimes living like an entitled westernized settler has consequences. It should always have consequences. Fuck these displays of empathy for those who have none, that’s for liberals who believe they’ll never be on the oppressed side. It’s so easy for them to appeal to the bOTh SidEs bullshit.
Hamas did nothing wrong
For God’s sake, if you MUST keep using the 60,000+ number at least mention that experts are saying that in reality they’re in the several hundred thousand
They refused to use the 67,000 number until studies came out stating it was 600,000. Then they reluctantly dragged their heels and used 67,000 instead of 10,000 or whatever it was before that. Once studies show its 1.8 million or whatever (god forbid) then they might finally start saying 600,000
Didn’t Trump himself implicitly acknowledge the number back in February?
Israelis eager to deny a holocaust.
Whoever that user was who said they worked with their campaign and know people closer to Mamdani you should really get the people you know to tell him to stop saying shit like this

edit nevermind
starts off by condemning freedom fighters
OK so he can’t even get the correct stance on Palestine.
Oct. 7 was only “horrifying” if you willfully ignore the context in which it occurred, that of 75 years of settler-colonial violence.
Everyone instinctively understands the concept that victims have a right to defend themselves. Show them a video of someone physically assaulting someone who’s pleading to them to leave them alone, but the assaulter continues until the victim finally snaps and breaks their nose,then the assaulter cries foul. Everyone will say “FaFO, that mf had it coming and doesn’t get to cry about it”. So why would anyone look at 75 years of isntreal carrying out horrible violent atrocities against Palestinians and not side with the Palestinians who decided to fight back?
The most horrifying thing about Oct. 7 is that isntreal made it happen by forcing Palestinians into violent resistance instead of just not doing settlers colonial land theft, apartheid, and a slower-moving genocide. You think those Hamas fighters wanted to die young violently instead of getting to live a long and full life of peace? Absolutely not. But when your people are being slowly strangled, and all peaceful protest is met with violence, what else can you do?
Not to mention, Hamas wouldn’t exist if Isreal hadn’t eliminated the PLO. Netanyahu even funded Hamas back in its infancy. Like if you don’t want a “”““terrorist””“” organization launching attacks to take hostages, maybe don’t kill all the diplomats trying to negotiate a two state solution?
Of course, Isreal’s goal was always total extermination of the Palestinian people. There is no rock bottom to the depravity they’re willing to unleash to further that goal.
And they’re still killing the people they’re negotiating with. They’ve done it with literally every force they’ve negotiated with in the last two years, from Hamas to Hezbollah to Iran, in Gaza, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Qatar, and probably other places I’m forgetting.
When you make a peaceful solution impossible, what do they expect the oppressed to do?
wow, you mean the candidate running on the democratic ticket moved to the right??? i guess the ultras were right after all!!!
go on polymarket and put all your savings on cuomo
it’s fucking over
