Ep. 293: The parade was no place for an anti-Zionist Jew-hater

About this episode

The episode discusses Mayor Zohran Mamdani's absence from the Israel Day event and the implications of his antisemitism.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s absence from New York City’s annual Israel Day shindig was appropriate. But efforts to deny his antisemitism by citing a skewed poll point to deeper problems.
