For many Jews it is a call to violence against us at worst and highly offensive at best.

He was clear but that doesn't change the potential impact here. If Jews are murdered because his views are interpreted as supporting such a crime, does his intent provide any comfort to the families who have lost a loved one?

I believe that he has no malicious intent. That doesn't change the fact that some extremists are interpreting his position as one that endorses the murder of Jews.

I see that, and at the same time he didn't acknowledge that there are plenty of people who use the phrase with genocidal intent. What if someone dressed up with a white hooded cloak and then claimed it didn't represent the KKK? Some things have a universal meaning, and this is one of them.

It could be an implied greenlight to anyone who wants to murder Jews. I saw posts on another platform saying they have kill lists of Jews they can target now because they will have an ally as NYC mayor and this election is another step towards realizing the dream of a global Intifada.

How do you interpret his justification of calls to "globalize the Intifada"? I believe this chant endorses the murder of Jews worldwide, so I am terrified. If you're like meh it doesn't really mean that, then you don't need to worry.

When people support Zohran Mamdani, what they're saying implicitly is that they don't care about his justification of calls to "globalize the Intifada." It's a political stance that enables not only discrimination against Jews in government, but murder of Jews around the world.

As a physician who works in pharma, I am wondering what are current "national priorities" and who decides? Also, I think Congressional legislation is needed for such a change, not that anyone in charge cares about the Constitution or federal law or anything.

It would not make sense for pharma companies to plan unethical placebo-controlled trials that could never get approved by site IRBs. There would not be a way to enroll such a trial. The only way to do this is through real world data comparing the medical records of unvaccinated and vaccinated.
