Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
this time the socdem will do good by the people for sure
He said he believes Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, but at least he won’t visit Israel seven times and suck the wailing wall off like the other candidates I guess
He really shouldn’t have caved and just responded with “I don’t believe the mayor of a city should be taking geopolitical diplomatic actions outside of the country” or something and reframed the issue
As far as I can tell, he has not said "Israel has a right to defend itself". Zohran said that Israel has the right to exist as a non-Jewish state. He told the Mayoral debate and some news networks that Israel can exist only if it is not a Jewish ethnostate. I don't even think that his answer was good, but he may have been trying to say that he wants a 1-state solution with a secular state.
Israel does not have a right to exist. The correct answer is "Israel does not have a right to exist".

What I think is more important is that he says that he supports the BDS movement and he implied that his support of BDS will impact his decision making as Mayor. Support for BDS is much better than most US politicians. Over 30 states have laws against BDS. Support for BDS is huge.

Right, the correct answer is Israel does not have a right to exist. I would have also accepted a cheeky deflection, such as reframing everything to point out how odd of a question that is for a city mayoral candidate. Just a little bit of reality check for those watching to remind them of the absurdity of it.
What we get instead of half-measured ass covering and accepting the parameters.
Reframing is key, but I guess one democratic state with equal rights is too radical for a debate stage
beats the sex pest, but I'm not holding my breath
Better than a man who sold himself to the allure of the Turk, a serial harasser who also did geronticide, and a guy who wears a beret
Has NYC elected a DSA guy for mayor before?
