The warning is already right there in the open

I want to say something clearly: Zohran Mamdani is politically and ideologically aligned with Linda Sarsour. She endorsed his candidacy.

She is someone who has built an entire public career on aggr*ssive, expl*cit, and unapologetic anti-Jewish rhetoric.

She has d*monized Israel as a “settler colonial project,” defended openly v*olent anti-Israel organizations, and repeatedly dismissed Jewish identity and trauma as political inconvenience.

This is a person who stood on stages and said you can’t be both feminist and Z*onist.

Who has minimized the fear and pain of Jewish communities.

Who has never once taken responsibility for how her rhetoric fuels harassment and danger toward Jews in public spaces.

So when Linda Sarsour now says she will “hold Mamdani accountable” in the mayor’s office — I don’t hear that as political oversight.

I hear that as ideological enforcement.

This matters because it reveals something crucial about this political moment:

It is now possible — in New York City, of all places — to potentially win office with the blessing, endorsement, and ideological proximity of someone who has made hating Jews a foundational part of her public identity.

And too many people are shrugging.

Too many are acting like this is just “political alliances.”

It isn’t.

This is the normalization of a worldview that says Jewish self-determination is illegitimate, that Jews are oppressors by definition, that Jewish grief is negotiable, and that Jewish safety is optional.

So I’m not interested in being told to “stay calm” or “let’s see how he governs.”

The warning is already right there in the open.

If you align yourself with someone who has made hatred of Jews a core organizing principle — understand what that means.

This is no joke, people.
