      The Zionist entity wants to justify the existence of Israel and will use anything necessary, from claiming to be a champion of gay rights, treating Israeli Jews as indigenous and Zionism as a “decolonization” project, to pretending to believe in equal rights to do so. Arguing for egalitarianism, advocating a two-state non-solution, or even recognizing Palestine doesn’t on its own fundamentally challenge Israel as a colonization project and is better used to sanitize it.

      Regardless, I don’t necessarily think Mamdani is “in” with the Zionists (that would better describe Cuomo), I simply think that he allows Zionists to control the narrative too easily.

      The Zionist entity wants to exist. If that means maintaining economic control while giving “equal rights” to its native population, it will do that, just as America and South Africa were forced to give nominal legal equality to their minority populations. Would an Israel that’s identical to today but with a constitution enshrining equality be accepted by the Palestinians? I doubt it
