I'm rooting for Mamdani. He seems like a well-rounded guy. That question framing on why he wasn't vising Israel was the most cultist shit I've ever seen. He gave a good reply.
I don't agree with him that Israel has a right to exist when he was pushed on BDS during the debate.
But any candidate who passes the low low bar of "not financially or militarily supporting Israel" gets a pass.
I think responding to the question with "Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights" is the best way he could have phrased it. I know the preferred way for those on the left is "no state has a right to exist," but that's not a sentiment that's going to resonate with liberals, and many would see it as "scary radical wants to burn it all down."
His answer is a clever way of proposing a one-state solution without freaking people out.
