"All conservatives—generally including Jewish ones—agree that it’s fine to use antisemitic tropes and slurs against Jews on the left, or against Jews who don’t embrace Zionism and Trumpism.

"Mamdani is a target of Greenblatt and others in the old school U.S. Jewish establishment not because he is a Muslim or because he has defended Palestinian rights or because of anything that has to do with anti-Semitism.

"but that he actually represents core Jewish values better than reflexive defenders of Israel’s genocide in Gaza like Greenblatt or the Israeli government mouthpieces at AIPAC.
Indeed, it is this last point that gets to the real crux of the problem for Greenblatt and the Netanyahu cheering section who purport to be Jewish leaders but who are actually just a branch of MAGA."
