    heā€™s right. many people are passive lib zios because they donā€™t understand. these two do understand and want to preserve israel as a jewish state through reform and ā€œbeing nicer to the colonizedā€. sanders was a settler on a kibbutz and is nostalgic for the israel of the past. lander actively worked to tie israel to new york as comptroller. they arenā€™t like other liberal zionists, theyā€™re worse

    Lander's views must be condemned, but it's true that he has unusual views for a self-identified Zionist, because most of them explicitly support ethnonationalism over democracy and he, despite this being a Zionist and this being contradictory, says that everyone in Israel should have equal standing under the law regardless of ethnicity.

    I think Lander is an awful fool of a lib Zionist and he shouldn't be supported, and furthermore that Hasan is too soft on him, but Hasan is correct that Landers has unusual views.

    I say this as someone who dislikes Hasan and his apologists here.

    New York City public pension funds increased their investment in Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons supplier, by 268% under Comptroller Brad Lander's management between June 2024 and June 2025.

    The holdings grew from approximately $280,000 to over $1 million in the arms manufacturer in the middle of Israel's livestreamed genocide of the Palestinians. Lander defends the investments as strictly adhering to a "fiduciary lens" required by law to secure maximum returns for retirees, stating he does not bring politics to pension management.

    Brad Lander has consistently stated that he opposes the Global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, arguing that its tenets are incompatible with Israelā€™s right to exist as a Jewish state.

    Brad Lander left the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in October 2023 because the organization promoted a pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square on October 8. Lander described the rally as "heinous" and "vile" for the way it spoke about Hamas, stating he could no longer remain a member after 30 years.

    I have no interest in arguing that Landers is in any way good, he is still a reactionary running dog, and I told you he should be condemned and Hasan is too nice to him, it's simply a fact that while he is a Zionist, he has some strange views compared to the Zionist establishment. Strange, not materially better, just strange.
