Sheer speculation on my part: In an interview with the current mayor of New York City, were a journalist to ask him to recommend a good book on the political ideology of Democratic Socialism and its most respected theorist so his constituents could benefit from its wisdom as he has, he likely might dodge the question by refusing to promote one book over another, when he likely has never read such a book because he is underneath a Shiite Muslim, whose sect, some say, are the most enthusiastic practitioners of Islam’s principle of taqqiya/ dissembling, in the vernacular, deceitful lying.

He, of course, is a major supporter of the verbal hologram of “the Palestinian nation” and the antisemitic myth that they are currently suffering genocide at the hands of the illegitimate state of Jews.

And, not coincidentally, one major source of taqqiya is Sura 48 in the Koran entitled Fatah, the name of the principal Jew-killing cult of the last half-century, chosen by its eight founders in 1959 who were all raised in the clandestine Muslim Brotherhood franchise in Mandatory Palestine, established by the father of the non-“Palestinian,” Egypt-born Yasir Arafat. In this Koranic chapter, Muhammad negotiates a truce of ten years with his enemies in Mecca (his second-cousins), but then, after two years, seeing an opportunity, violates his promise, attacks and is victorious, establishing the principle that one can swear/promise peace with an enemy, to get him to lower his guard, and then you strike.

In general, the Arabs are a culture of hiding in public, a veiled society, perhaps as spiritual heirs of their distant, Biblical forebear Ham, son of Noah of Flood fame, the first “sex offender” when he exposed his father’s nakedness. Notably, the recent rebellion in Iran was also sparked by a female exposing some hair beneath her improperly-worn hijab for which she was arrested, and when in custody, beaten to death.

Mayor Mandani claims to be a Democratic Socialist but this politician’s principal pronouncements are not about political matters at all but criminal; the Jews who he believes stole Palestine from the “Palestinians” and today are doing to them what the Nazis did to the Jews. And as such, Israelis deserve no sympathy for what was done to them on October 7, 2023 or even the Holocaust.

Indeed, the next day, when the extent of the satanic violence became known – e.g. cutting off Jewish babies’ heads in front of their horrified Jewish parents; castrating men, raping Jewish women, slicing off their breasts and throwing them around like volley balls; cramming nails into Jewish vaginas, tying up families together and burning them to death – video surfaced in London of Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn being pursued by a journalist asking for his reaction to which Corbyn acted as if the journalist was not there; as in Washington, video also recorded the identical behavior of a journalist pursuing a mute Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.

And thus was preserved evidence of the current version of Jew-hatred: the Jews deserve no pity for the fiendish cruelty done to them, which produces the current, monumental lies that either there was no Nazi Holocaust, or, alternately, if there was, the Jews got what they deserved.

It should by now be clear to the rational and sober that Mr. Mamdani ran for the New York City mayoralty not to serve the people of the Big Apple but use the platform to Jew-bash. His first act in office was to cancel the previous administration’s public acceptance and respect for the International Alliance for Holocaust Remembrance’s definition of antisemitism, probably, as fellow “pro-Palestinians” have said, because it denies the “Palestinians” the right to call Jews Nazis. And this behavior has nothing to do with Democratic Socialism (whatever that is) since socialism is primarily an economic theory.

Mamdani is a dissembler with his words and his face. That forced smile of his calls to mind a constipated man which expression covers up his normal face when at rest, also on display in other photographs, which present a very different Mamdani. His eyes project the anger, cruelty, hatred and death that animates his every pronouncement on the world’s only, miniscule state of Jews whose “crime” is living free of the Islam that has persecuted this people on a daily basis for fourteen centuries.

The Koran is quite clear that the Jews must be “oppressed and humiliated” and so they were from almost Day One of Islam. At first, Muhammad hoped the Jews would recognize him as the last and greatest of their prophets and instructed his devotees to worship in the direction of Jerusalem just like the Jews; but when they dismissed his pretension, he ordered followers henceforth to pray in the direction of Mecca and also preached that when the Jews’ Torah records that Ibrahim bound his son Isma’il for a human sacrifice, and believe the episode took place in Jerusalem, they lie. The son chosen was not Eeshkhok /Isaac (all three names plagiarized and mispronounced) and it happened in Mecca. So constitutionally important for Islam is this claim, every Muslim is enjoined at least once in a lifetime to make the pilgrimage/haj (like the other words, a mispronunciation of the Hebrew chag/holiday) to the very spot in Mecca where it happened. The continuation of the existence of Jews and Judaism after being dispossessed by the One True Faith is experienced as an insult and offence to Believers, let alone their liberation from their Islamically mandated abuse.

This is the ideology of the current mayor of America’s greatest city, not Democratic Socialism. That is his disguise.

His victory is a frightening omen of the same fate – unless the U.S. relates to Islam as it does to Nazism and Communism, all three totalitarian systems and on fire with Jew-hatred – that awaits America like the current conquest of western Europe of its post-Christian Europeans not having children, by Muslim invaders propagating like rabbits via their hateful-of-women polygamy.

  1. was housing rent stabilized in israel during the first temple period?

    +1 No, housing rent was not stabilized or controlled by price ceilings in ancient Israel during the First Temple period.Instead of modern price controls, biblical law focused on land tenure and property permanence through the Jubilee Year rules.Property and Land LawsAgricultural land: Could not be sold permanently because it was viewed as a divine family inheritance; it returned to the original family every 50 years during the Jubilee.Houses in walled cities: Were treated differently than farm fields; if a house in a walled city was sold, the seller had only a one-year window to buy it back, after which ownership became permanent.Absence of price caps: Historical and biblical texts contain no record of government-mandated rent freezes, caps, or stabilization policies for urban rental housing.If you want, I can share more about:How ancient Israelite homes were built and sharedThe social critiques of wealth and property by First Temple prophets like Isaiah or AmosLet me know how you would like to proceed.

  2. “did Israel have universal healthcare in the first temple period as it does today?”

    Google AI Overview:

    No, ancient Israel during the First Temple period (c. 1000–586 BCE) did not have a state-administered or universal healthcare system comparable to modern Israel’s statutory system overseen by the Ministry of Health and managed via modern health funds. [1, 2]
    Healthcare in the ancient Near East and Iron Age Israel was decentralized, family- and community-focused, and deeply intertwined with religious and folk traditions. Key aspects of health management during the First Temple period included: [1, 2]
    * Home and Folk Remedies: Most illnesses and injuries were treated at home by family members using localized, natural remedies such as herbal poultices, plant extracts (like the famous Balm of Gilead), honey, and oils. [1, 2]
    *
    * The Role of Priests (Levites): Rather than functioning as medical practitioners or doctors who handed out treatments, Levitical priests acted as public health inspectors and ritual arbiters. Their role—as outlined in texts like Leviticus—involved diagnosing skin conditions, managing quarantine protocols, and overseeing ritual purification to prevent community-wide contamination. [1, 2]
    *
    * Independent Healers and Physicians (Rofim): Secular or practical healers (rofim) did exist in ancient Israel, though they are only sparsely mentioned in biblical texts. These independent practitioners relied on empirical or traditional remedies, but their services were accessed privately depending on an individual’s means, rather than through a public entitlement. [1]
    *
    * The Spiritual Paradigm: Illness was frequently viewed through a theological lens as a matter between humanity and the Divine rather than a mechanical failure managed by a bureaucratic medical system. Consequently, people often turned to prayer, prophets, or direct supplication to God for healing rather than seeking institutional medical infrastructure. [1, 2, 3, 4]
    *
    Modern universal healthcare in Israel is a 20th-century development, formalized nationally by the National Health Insurance Law enacted in 1995, which stands in stark contrast to the agrarian, subsistence-level realities of the First Temple monarchy. [1, 2, 3, 4]

    Would you like to explore how public hygiene laws in the Torah functioned as an early form of preventative communal health, or look into how medicine evolved later in the Talmudic period?

  3. islamist socialism meaning history

    +11 Islamic socialism is a political and economic ideology that combines Islamic teachings with socialist principles. It centers on core concepts like social justice, wealth redistribution through religious charity (zakat), and community solidarity. (Note: It is distinct from “Islamism”—political Islam aimed at establishing an Islamic state or strict sharia governance—as historical Islamic socialists typically championed secular state-led nationalism or Marxism alongside faith).Meaning and Core PrinciplesEconomic Equality: Argues that Quranic injunctions against hoarding wealth and obligations to help the poor align with socialist anti-capitalism.Social Solidarity: Rejects both unrestrained free-market capitalism and Soviet state atheism, framing communal welfare as a religious duty.Anti-Imperialism: Emerged heavily as a resistance identity against Western colonial dominance in Muslim-majority regions.Key Historical ErasEarly Soviet Period (1900s–1920s): Movements like Hummet in Azerbaijan and the theories of Mirsaid Sultan-Galiev (Muslim National Communism) sought to align Muslim workers and peasants with Bolshevik anti-imperialism.Post-Colonial Era (1950s–1970s): Adopted by nationalist leaders and thinkers like Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser, Pakistan’s Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi to legitimize land reform, state nationalization of industries, and welfare programs under an Islamic cultural banner.Decline: Faded as state-led socialist economies struggled and conservative religious factions or orthodox Islamists (such as the Muslim Brotherhood) pushed back against secular socialist control.

  4. All that’s left to be said is along the lines of, “I told you so!” This guy should never have been elected. Actually, we had enough warning from London.

    • Mamdani wins 33% of the Jewish vote in NYC, compared to 63% for Cuomo, exit poll shows

      Zohran Mamdani won over 33% of Jewish voters as he was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, according to exit polling.

      The poll found that 63% of Jewish voters cast their ballots for Andrew Cuomo, the former governor who ran as an independent after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary. Cuomo polled second throughout the general election and was the subject of a campaign by Jewish advocates to consolidate votes against Mamdani, a longtime critic of Israel whose positions elicited allegations of antisemitism.

      Only 3% of Jews voted for the third major candidate, Republican Curtis Sliwa, according to the poll, conducted on behalf of multiple news organizations by the polling firm SSRS.

      The pro-Cuomo push appeared to yield results in precincts with many Orthodox Jews in particular. Cuomo neared 80% of the vote in such precincts, along with winning large populations of more liberal Jews in Manhattan and the Bronx, according to The New York Times. But the Upper West Side, seen as a bastion for Jewish liberals, went for Mamdani, albeit at slightly less than the citywide rate.

      There was evidence that much of Cuomo’s support came from Republicans: 69% of his voters said they believed Donald Trump was doing a good job as president.

      Though concerns about affordability reigned among New Yorkers at the polls, Israel also loomed over their votes. The SSRS poll found that 67% of New Yorkers said the candidates’ positions on Israel factored into their vote, with 38% calling those positions a major factor. The election coincided with a broad drop-off in support for Israel among U.S. voters, as demonstrated repeatedly in polling over the last year.

      Over 2 million New Yorkers voted, more than double the number who voted in the 2021 mayoral election. Dominating among younger voters, voters of color and voters with college degrees, Mamdani became the first candidate to win over 1 million votes in a New York City mayor’s race since John V. Lindsay in 1969.

        How ironic. I wonder how it will vote next time.
