And worse than an antizionist DSA member, no? He just is a Zionist for the love of the game instead of money

    Why don't you run for mayor of New York if you're so sure of what is to be done?

    Do you realize how much like democrat-speak that sounds? But interesting that you’ve chosen to die on the Zionist hill
