Description

Andrew Cuomo has adopted quite the shifting stance on Israel following his Democratic primary loss in New York City’s mayoral race. Cuomo, who previously defended Israel vigorously and even joined Netanyahu’s legal team, is now presenting what his aides describe as a “nuanced” position: supporting Israel’s right to exist while questioning its actions in Gaza. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, along with independent journalist James Li, discuss the political theater of candidates trying to appeal to Jewish voters and contrast Cuomo’s position with Zohran Mamami’s decidedly pro-Palestinian stance. The trio also discuss Mamami’s perceived authenticity versus establishment co-option, his approach to worker rights, and broader critiques of political hypocrisy in the Democratic Party.

They asked that question because they knew Zohran was not going to go to Israel, and the media would make a huge deal of it. Thankfully this backfired in the media's face.
