Zohran Mamdani: “I would not recognize any state’s right to exist with a system of hierarchy on the basis of race or religion... And part of that is because I’m an American who believes in the importance of equal rights being enshrined in every single country.”

The story of America is unmatched in human civilization. It is the story of undaunted courage, of a bloody independence, of a Republic on the brink, of rebuilding & restoring, of rights being secured, and of sacrifice & liberation of those in the old countries who have lost hope. It is the creation of a new, American, identity. An identity that since the founding of our country has been open to those who truly desire to be American and adopt a wholly new spirit of being an American as our ancestors did when arriving on the shores of this foreign land. Theodore Roosevelt, an inspirer of men and a believer in the soul of America and in calling his countrymen to the highest of callings which our founding documents and our faith demand of us, knew that adopting this new American identity was necessary to maintain the fabric of our republic. He knew that anyone “who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.” As a defining characteristic, our American identity is second only to that of our faith. On the 250th anniversary of our country, a country that has secured more rights, alleviated more poverty, ended more suffering for more people than any other on the face of the earth, I am praying for a renewal of the love and desire to adopt that American identity that so many toiled, labored, and bled to preserve. To 250 more years of Independence and a revival of the American spirit.

“What Do You Mean by Jewish State?” Abdul El-Sayed Pushes Back Katie Halper: So, speaking of AIPAC and people who are very supportive of Israel, there was an interesting interaction between you and Olivia Reingold of The Free Press. Olivia Reingold: Abdul El-Sayed, who is Muslim, walks a fine line on the Jewish state. He told the crowd, “All of us love and revere Jewish folk, our Jewish neighbors, the faith of Judaism.” Later that night, I asked him whether he believes in Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: I'd love to take the question, actually. What do you mean by Jewish state? If you can't define the question, I'm not going to answer your question. Katie Halper: So, it's fascinating to me that “What does a Jewish state mean?” can be a gotcha question. Do you think most people would have a different opinion if they understood what the current Jewish state of Israel means? Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: I think most people have in their heart of hearts a commitment to foundational equity—that everybody deserves equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination. The reason I asked that question is because it's very difficult to square that question with equal rights for Palestinian people. Whether you're defining a Jewish state based on an actual state religion, which means that some people don't belong as much because they may not belong to the same faith. And then if you're doing it by identity, the question becomes, well, is it the identity of the leadership or is it the majority of the country? All of these become really, really difficult to square with any semblance of equal rights. If your interpretation of the identity of a state would then allow that state to discriminate against people for how they pray or because of their ethnicity, I don't think most of us would be okay with that. And I'll say that about any country. I don't believe in ethno-states, I just don't. I believe in the equal human dignity of all people. I'm grateful that I live in the United States of America where there is no state religion, no state language, and no state identity. And I don't believe that people should be allowed to discriminate against one another or that we should have whole power structures based on who people are.
