Zionists obliterated mosques and churches (in fact over 50% of the religious and cultural sites in the region), but sure Mamdani verbally calling out Zionists using synagogues as legal and social shields so they can spread propaganda and get investors to buy stolen, colonized land is "controversial"
Okay I'm sorry but I am sincerely pissed at how many of you have criticized protesting at Zionist synagogues. Did we all forget that synagogues have been selling property off in occupied territories for decades BECAUSE it gives them the guise of religious freedom?
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

Ethnic fraud is colonial aggression.
Ethnic frauds stir up so many terrible feelings in Indigenous folks, and I don't think the general public really understands this.
The goal of the ongoing colonial project has been the erasure of Indigenous Peoples, meaning our identity and existence has been undermined from every direction.
