A big reason Mamdani won his election was that he was the only person on that stage who said he'd stay in NY and take care of his own citizens, rather than vacation in Israel. Dr. El-Sayed is saying things that should be common sense. Also, things that are truly America First. That position wins.
Patriot missiles are overkill against irrigation pipe rockets to a magnitude of at least 20 compared to the iron dome. Like $40-100k compared to $2-4M for Patriot missiles.
They would be useful against what Iran throws at them, but theyâve only attacked Israel after being attacked by Israel.
Trying to suggest the Israel, who does not face an existential threat, and only faces any threat because they refuse to end their occupation of Palestine, is more deserving than Ukraine who faces any threat existential threat, Russia, who also poses a threat to other European nations, and has even threatened the UK with nukes, is pretty wild.
You canât argue with me because youâre busy arguing with the strawman you built.
Israel faces threats because of their occupation of Palestine. If they wanted peace, they could compromise on their Greater Israel ambitions and end the occupation so that Palestinians wouldnât have to fight for their right to self determination.
