Rahm Emanuel recounts what he told Mamdani re: his Israel stance: “I said, ‘Look, you are your father's son. I’m my father’s son. You chant ‘a river to the sea,’ and that means there will never be a Jewish homeland for Jews who have faced the Holocaust.’ “And I said, ‘I want you to hear this: over my dead body.’”

David Axelrod and Van Jones debate AIPAC re: #MISen ⬇️ Axelrod: “It's a legitimate question. Should essentially an agent of any foreign government, whether it's Israel or any other, be able to spend.. $30 million in a race like this to influence the outcome of that race?” Van Jones: “I don't think that they're an agent of a foreign power. I think they're American Jews… Their issue is to protect Israel… Why is AIPAC so mad? This guy is saying that the U.S. government can't even sell defensive weapons to Israel, which would make Israel completely defenseless. Now that would be a reason for a group of people who cares about Israelis to say this is not our guy.”

Rudy Giuliani: “The Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old. They won’t let a Palestinian in Jordan.. in Egypt. And Harris wants to bring them to you. “They may have good people. I’m sorry, I don’t take a risk with people that are taught to kill Americans at two.”

🚨 More from Mamdani this morning ⬇️ Mamdani says his mayoral address on Israel and the Gaza war — including his assertion that Israel is committing genocide — reflects “objective facts” about the conflict. The use of the term ‘genocide’ to describe Israel’s military campaign in Gaza remains highly contested.

👀 Zohran Mamdani on why he refuses to recognize Israel as a ‘Jewish’ state: “I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else…. Equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.”

Mamdani asked why he didn’t mention Oct. 7 in last night’s address on Netanyahu, Gaza war. His response: “It is from a universal politics that I can look at Oct. 7 and describe it for what it is, which is a horrific war crime, and I can also look at Benjamin Netanyahu and see the way that he's orchestrated this genocide, and also deem him similar to be a war criminal.”

Mamdani today in response: “I've made clear my position, which is that I don't think that we should purchase Israel Bonds. We don't purchase bonds for any other sovereign nation’s debt. The comptroller has also made his position clear, and I continue to stand by mine.”

In interview with Jonathan Martin, Josh Shapiro on AIPAC spending: “I think it's been used cynically by some to try and silence certain voices, to try and say that certain people participating in politics shouldn't count or should be viewed in a toxic way…. “What you are seeing is not, ‘AIPAC money’ or however it was termed, but you're getting ‘the Jews who give to that candidate who also support AIPAC.’”
