The People’s Prince-ss of the Cave Daddies
Mamdani's Party Denounces Gaza Ceasefire and Accuses US of 'Complicity'? Girl, Bye.
FACT: When the far-left calls Israel’s self-defense “colonialism” and can’t bring themselves to say the word Hamas, it’s not activism — it’s antisemitism with a moral superiority complex.
When I read that Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter had denounced the Gaza ceasefire and accused the United States of “complicity,” I thought it was satire. Then I realized it, unfortunately, is the politics of 2025. The climate of hate—especially Jew hate—is here to stay, and it’s our job to either pay it no mind or play by their rules, which won’t end well for them, judging by the many Israeli victories we have enjoyed in the midst of the October 7 War.
Let’s be clear: the ceasefire they’re talking about—an “expected exchange of hostages,” as The New York Times grossly mischaracterized it—isn’t an abstract policy debate. It’s life or death. It’s women and children held underground for months. And let me throw in as well for innocent Palestinians.
Yet Mamdani’s party statement doesn’t mention Hamas once. Not the kidnappings of civilians. Not the sexual violence. Not the bodies still missing. Not the execution of innocent Palestinians who want a better life. It’s the trash-talking, usual recycled garbage about “genocide” and “occupation,” bla bla bla—yada yada yada—words that have become moral outrage camouflaged as deep concern from people who can’t bring themselves to condemn terror when it targets Jews or Palestinians, for whom they’ve been marching in the streets and stinking up endless parts of the world.
Welcome to the official progressive, socialist Democratic Party who are sucking on the teat of a nepo baby prince-ss as their proposed leader to helm New York City. What was not too long ago a utopia—a city built by Jewish immigrants who escaped real genocide. And the People’s Princess Mamdani intends to be mayor? Of New York City? Gay gezunteh haite. No pun intended.
When a politician calls Israel’s fight for survival a “colonial project” while refusing to utter the word “Hamas,” that’s not nuance—it’s gross dishonesty.
Mamdani’s statement fits neatly into that collapse of standards in our politics and especially in our journalism. It steals language—“breaking,” “reports,” “facts on the ground”—to lend moral weight to propaganda. The media, in turn, give him oxygen. Though frankly, well—I won’t say it. Instead of pressing the People’s Princess on omissions or inconsistencies, outlets like the BBC, The Guardian, or The New York Times repeat his cloaked-in-hatred framing as narrative and let lies breathe.
This is why we, the people, have lost faith in “legacy media” due to their endless media malpractice. When standards vanish, bias fills the void.
But Mamdani’s rhetoric takes it further. It isn’t bias—it’s bigotry cloaked in activism. When you erase Hamas’s crimes, you erase Jewish suffering. When you accuse America of “complicity” for supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, you’re not critiquing policy; you’re indicting an entire people for existing. That’s not progressive. That’s prejudice. And that must be punished—if not literally, then at least by the ballot box. And in the tragic event of his winning the mayorship… well… he is many people’s least favorite human. He’s been compared—despise-wise—to Trump on several occasions. So, he better get his cave-daddies ready to be his butch security queens.
New York deserves better. Its Jewish population—1.4 million strong—shouldn’t have to tolerate a mayoral hopeful who traffics in blood-libel-adjacent talking points. Nor should Muslim or Arab New Yorkers be reduced to props for his ambition. They deserve leaders who build bridges, not burn them for attention. Not to mention those lunatic, fur-hat-wearing, self-hating Zionists who can take a siddur and shove it.
Maybe Mamdani sees himself as the people’s champion, but to me, he’s the People’s Princess of the Cave Daddies—living in a political cave, surrounded by the echo of his own righteousness. I left New York City in 2013, and watching from warm weather the unfolding catastrophe—reminiscent of the 1970s, with garbage piling up and crime out of control—has made me grateful to be a refugee from the city I love so much. Or have loved, anyway.
Truth still matters. Facts still matter. And those who abandon both have no business asking for anyone’s vote—or their trust.
