    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to the United Nations General Assembly podium to accuse him of supporting Hamas and making Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe

    Those Jewish New Yorkers can always move Israel if their life is so bad here now.

      I’m not sure you want to own “If you don’t like it here, move back to your own country” rhetoric.

        Well, that’s why the state of Israel was formed, so Jews all over the world would have a place to go if they feel unsafe where they are. All the genocidal colonialism was for nothing if they’re not even going to use it for what it was intended for.

          The original Zionists were pretty explicit about being colonizers, it was more about stealing land than being safe.

          So, I don’t really want them to use Israel for what it was intended for. I’d rather they stay here actually.

      Feeling unsafe != Living in danger. Is NYC a dangerous place to live for Jewish people? I’d be surprised if it’s the case. I’m getting tired of politicians equating feelings with facts.

        no. am a jewish person in nyc and i feel fine… people do have a habit sadly of associating the hasidic jews of brooklyn to be zionist’s which funny enough a good chunk aren’t. i live in a very jewish area here and its completely okay
