Here in W. Europe meanwhile, we had Plomin's genes for "socio-economic success" - those for intelligence were mostly maternal, to be fair!

Mamdani said he supports BDS, not that he'll force his administration to BDS - he couldn't anyway.
What he could do - with NY State's help - is end the tax exemption for donations to NY charities funding illegal settlements

So her silence about anti-Zionist Jews and Mamdani "speaks louder than words" as well. Or does it "speak" only when it can be used against her and Mamdani?
I'd rather say I don't know.

Afaik again, she didn't support them either. If *you* know she did please link to her statements.

Great questions for members of Trump's admin. My first one would be "what will she do to stop NYPD, ICE and CBP violence, and violations of civil & human rights?"

Afaik,
1. neither do 63% of Jews & others who didn't vote for "pro-Hamas" Mamdani
2. He showed them he doesn't discriminate and values competence over divisive ideologies
3. Should she disagree, she'll leave and he'll replace her
4. Unlike 63% of NY Jews, she doesn't oppose/condemn anti-Zionism

She "backs" Israel's right to exist (who doesn't today?), is against antisemitism & NYPD's corruption. Since the Muslim officers gave her an award, she's probably against islamophobia too.
So is Mamdani. They probably disagree on much else & she'll either back his policies or leave.
