Some excerpts:
…
When respondents were asked what issues affected their decision to vote for him, the top responses cited were his plans to lower the cost of living at 89 percent, and his plans to tax the wealthy and stand up to corporations, at 86 percent.
But the third reason they cited was his support for Palestinian rights, at 62 percent.
Among the new voters in 2025, that number rises to 83 percent, at a time when some states and international scholars, including Israeli experts and NGOs, have called Israel’s war on Gaza a genocide.
…
The IMEU noted in its statement on Tuesday that the polling included an oversample of New York’s 10th congressional district, which is represented by Dan Goldman, who is “funded by AIPAC [and] who has repeatedly voted with Republicans to advance anti-Palestinian legislation”.
Also interesting how every other candidate running said their first act in office would be to visit Israel, while Mamdani said he’d visit the 5 boroughs.
Its because AIPAC money seeks to strangle every progressive voice even in downballot races, because they know people rise up through smaller venue politics to national prominence.
Which stupid thing to say. Your mayor New York you have no reason to be going to Israel.
