by Gerald A. Honigman
I’ve followed your campaign for mayor in one of the greatest cities in the entire world, New York, along with volumes of antisemitic comments with much interest.
Please don’t think ALL of us are fools (although many are…you’ve got many ignorant and/or self hating Jews supporting your views and campaigns)
when you and your Jew stooge campaign assistant claim that there’s a rat’s derrière’s difference between your obviously hatred of the sole, resurrected, minuscule nation of Israel Reborn and your feelings towards Jews. There isn’t in 99.999 % of the cases.
Anti-Zionism merely transfers millennial hatred in both the Christian West and the Muslim East for Jews as individuals to the resurrected Jew of the Nations, Israel.
To deprive the Jewish People—the right to self determination in their own ancestral homeland—what you wouldn’t deprive others is antisemitism. Period…
My name is Gerald A. Honigman, an educator who has done extensive doctoral work in both Middle Eastern and National Security Policy Studies.
Like you, I’ve had a deep concern for justice for ALL peoples everywhere in relative terms. Well, I know I’ve held these positions, but I don’t know if you do.
For years, I was a card carrying member of the London-based Anti-Slavery Society.
Guess what people were/are still enslaving black Africans right up to present time?
Do I need to tell you?
Let’s just say their first letter begins with “A” and ends with “B.” Open the link to “Sudan: The Story Within The Story” below.
Listening to and reading your many comments, you seem to be concerned for justice for those people in the region of MENA who are only Arabs or previously non-Arab but Arabized and Islamized or Islamistized Muslims.
Continuing the above opening remarks to establish my own credentials, I’m widely published, and my forever timely book and other work have been acquired by numerous universities and other institutions of higher learning all over the world.
I cover, among other topics, the quest for RELATIVE justice for all peoples: Arabs, but also others as well. See here about my written work on behalf of the place where some eight million Arabs are really being oppressed themselves:
The main library system of the United Arab Emirates, American University of Beirut, Kobe University, Georgetown, Bethlehem University, Cornell, NYU, UF, UC-Irvine, Paris’s acclaimed Institut d’etudes Politiques (Sciences Po), Penn State, ERAU, Emmaus Bible College, University of Alberta, University of Wyoming, FGCU, and Daytona State are some examples of educational institutions using my scholarship..
The Foreword to my forever timely book is written by the President of the Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria, and some of the main jacket comments are penned by the Amazigh/“Berber” publisher of Afrique-du-Nord.
Funny how no university professor, class course, student demonstrations, or any other mention occurs or exists promoting the cause of these or other Arab and Arabized jihadi oppressed peoples.
Is anyone—ARE YOU—concerned about the wanton slaughter of over a thousand Druze and Christians in Jihadi Syria right now?
You’re quick to falsely accuse Israel of every evil under the sun, without double checking your facts and sources.
How about the additional slaughter and beheadings of hundreds of black Africans by Arabs and Arabized black Islamists in Nigeria and elsewhere by Boko Haram?
Mr. Mamdani, where’s your voice crying out for these povictims? Is hypocrisy and double standards your game?
Back to the Kurdish and Apopmazigh writers of the Foreword and jacket comments to my book, together these two gentlemen represent 80 million TRULY stateless peoples in the Midst East and North Africa (MENA).
Unlike Arabs, who already have almost two dozen states, including one on almost 80% of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine gifted to them in 1922 and known as Jordan today, tens of millions of millions of other non-Arab peoples (Druze, Copts, non-Arab/pre-Arab conquest Lebanese, Assyrians, black Africans. and so forth), Kurds of the Middle East and the Amazigh/Kabyle/“Berber” original inhabitants of North Africa (before the colonizing, settling, murderous imperial jihadi Arab invasion and conquest of the 7th century C.E.) subsequently saw their age-old ancestral lands stolen from them, and their own pre-Arab cultures and languages outlawed.
Arabs next claimed the entire region was merely “purely Arab patrimony,” forever part of the conquered Dar ul-Islam, never allowed to revert back to the realm of the assorted kafir infidels, the Dar al-Harb…the realm of war, whether in Hindu India, black Africa, Judaea (one half of Israel’s Jews are from Sefardi and Mizrahi families who fled for their lives from persecution in Arab and other Muslim lands), or elsewhere.
This is what the overall Arab-Israeli and other conflicts are all about.
The recent latest war between predominantly Hindu India (with a huge fifth column previously Arabized Muslim population) and Arabized/Islamistized Pakistan was all about as well.
Read the following impeccably researched and documented accounts below to see what I mean regarding the struggles of MENA’s various peoples for their own fair share of the justice pie in the region:

Mr. Mamdani, to an objective observer, scholar or otherwise, corroboration is very important to determine historical facts.
You’ve claimed that Jews have no historical connection to the land of Israel and that it was always “Palestinian.”
To start you off, please observe carefully the Roman coin on the front cover of my book…
Note it is an Iudaea (Judaea) Capta coin of conquest issued by Rome after the Jews’s first major revolt for freedom and independence occurring from 66-73 C.E. in the ancestral land they’ve called home since Abraham arrived from Ur in modern day Iraq 4,000 years ago, purchased a burial site for the Jewish People’s (Hebrews) patriarchs and most of their matriarchs in Hebron in Judah/Judaea.
David was born in Bethlehem of Judaea (not “Palaestina”) a thousand years later, and was crowned King of Israel by the Prophet Samuel in Hebron. His son, King Solomon, built the first magnificent Temple to G_d, something most Arabs now claim never happened.
The Judaean Hasmonean family of the Maccabees led the fight against the pagan Greeks and Syrians who desecrated the Temple several centuries before Yehoshua/Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem of Judaea.
Their town was in Modi’in in Judaea— not the “West Bank,” not “Palestine,” but Judaea, the nation the Jewish People’s own name originates from. It is the town where the story of Chanukah originates from.
Mr. Mamdani, too many of your buddies claim that the Jews’s Temple Mount on Mount Zion was always Arab, and it’s named after Muhammad’s alleged winged horse with the head of a woman, Buraq, instead of being the Temple of Solomon.

The giant fortress overlooking the Dead Sea in the Judaean Desert, Masada, still stands today and was one of the last major places that fell to Roman armies, a major tourist attraction today.
Jews fought for their freedom and independence there…not Arabs, and certainly not non-existent “Palestinians.”
Among other things, please see accounts of tens of thousands of Judaean warriors who survived the first three major revolts against Rome earlier and who joined the Persians in fighting the hated Byzantine successors to Rome just prior to the massive Arab jihadi onslaught pouring in from a fast desiccating Arabian Peninsula in the mid-7th century C.E. in the next analysis.
Note the giant Arch of Titus as well, built to commemorate the Roman victory over Judaeans—NOT “Palestinians”— which still stands tall near the Colosseum in Rome today….

Be sure to carefully read the accounts of Emperor Cyrus the Great (in the Kurash Prism) of ancient Persia, the ancient Roman historians, and others to see if the land and its people were “Palestinians,” Arabs, or Judaeans/Jews…

Finally, this last analysis indeed illustrates how and why “Palestine” and “Palestinians” came onto the world stage.
Be sure to include the two essential internal links to understand this conflict as it should be understood:
Any true student of history and rational person can ascertain from the above and much other solid corroborating evidence that the land of Israel, despite the calamities and periodic forced exiles Jews have faced at the hands of assorted enemies, is undoubtably their own ancestral homeland.
Arabs, from the Arabian Peninsula, burst out of a fast desiccating land literally seeking greener pastures, and waged genocidal wars of conquest which slaughtered untold millions of non-Arab peoples in all directions in the name of their new subjugating supremacist faith.
The slaughtered on the Indian subcontinent alone is mind boggling.
In short, Mr. Mamdani, compared to Arabism, Zionism—the national liberation movement of the Jewish People for the resurrection of Israel Reborn—shines light years brighter indeed.
@Peloni post disappeared
@Sebastien
I rescued your post several hours ago, but failed to note it.
Also, thanks again for your many informative and important comments and posts.
“Jewish students across the country and young Jewish voters have also shifted toward the Republican Party as candidates like Mamdani are endorsed by longstanding Democrat Senators like Elizabeth Warren. When a Fox News reporter asked if socialist candidates like Mamdani were the future of the Democrat Party, Warren replied “you bet.”
In the 2024 election, President Donald Trump saw a drastic increase in Jewish votersswinging to the GOP. ”

The fuss about the 60 000 dead Gazans is so much hypocrisy as the Arabs have since the Algerian War of independence killed over three & half million Arabs and othere Moslems – at a conservative reckoning. So much for war crimes when every war has seen sieges to starve out dogged armies.
Green on Green fatalities – at least half of the 5000 dead Arabs in the 1936 – 38 rebellion against the British who recovered 1000 dead Arabs from battlefields.
Half the Arab (450k by French reckoning) fatalities in Algeria 1956 – 62.
200 000 Algerians in the 1990’s GIA civil war.
500 000 Syrians inthe Assad civll war & Assad pere killed 20 000 in Hama.
400 000 Yemenis in the Houthi civil war & Nasser lost 60k Egyptians in the 60’s.
500k Iraqis and 500k Iranians in Sadam Hussain’s 1980’s war.
400k “black” Moslem farmers in Darfur (Sudan) to “white” Arab pastoralists.
200k plus to another Sudanese civil war in Khartoum Army v. RSF’s.
Turkish and Iraqi long term wars on Kurds ?????
Moroccan conquest and occupation of Western (Saharwi) Sahara.
Libyan civil war post Gadaffi break up.
Seriously, so he should endorse Mamdani. Get Musk to endorse him, give him a car. 😀

With all due respect, I don’t believe Mamdani and his breathless followers have a clue about the history of Islamism. What they have is an endless capacity for propaganda and other stupidities.
So nothing that issues from the minds of intelligent human beings is of any consequence to them. I often use the slaughter on the Indian subcontinent as a perfect example of what has happened in the past, in the hope that whoever is listening or reading of this slaughter will immediately “connect the dots”… But all I ever get is blank looks; very disconcerting…
Nevertheless, I certainly “enjoy” reading what you write, if only for the fact that it discloses the sheer ignorance and hypocrisy that abounds today.
Amen to the article and to Keelie’s comments
