I’m not trying to start another Zohran struggle session, time will tell if he sells out. The article itself isn’t even particularly bad, what I want to discuss is the liberal framing it uses.
Taking the democrats seriously. Taking Cuomo seriously. But the part that really bothers me is the idea that Zohran pushed the liberal consensus on Palestine. Little-known fact: the world outside of NYC actually does exist and the people in it have been hating “Israel” more and more as well. Zohran is popular partly because he reflected a changing opinion many had on “Israel”, not the other way around. Journalists understand cause and effect challenge.
Zohrans campaign did not just receive NYC support it received massive global support over his stance on Palestine, which in turn boosted his NYC support. He gained everything by going hard on Israel and now throws that all away for some Zionist donors.
