We’ve gone down this terrible road with de Blasio who aligned with Jew-haters (including Sarsour) and systematically persecuted Jews while destroying the city. Not again, Yang, Not again.

Andrew Yang’s mayoral campaign manager has close ties to Linda Sarsour

Andrew Yang’s new mayoral campaign manager Sasha Ahuja is a longtime progressive activist with ties to controversial Palestinian-rights fighter Linda Sarsour, a review of social media records by The Post shows.
Sarsour, 41, has for years been a deeply polarizing figure in city politics, where critics frequently accuse her of anti-Semitism.
“I understand why Andrew Yang hired her; trying to project yourself as a progressive,” Mark Meyer Appel, founder of The Bridge Multicultural Advocacy Project, told The Post. Appel, a supporter of Yang opponent Eric Adams, said Ahuja has been “hanging out with some real trouble makers.”
Polling suggests Yang is the undisputed frontrunner in the race for City Hall. Ahuja, 33, was recently promoted to the leadership of Yang’s campaign, named a co-campaign manager earlier this month along with Chris Coffey, a bruiser consultant from Tusk Strategies.

Much of Ahuja’s association with lightning-rod Sarsour has been documented on social media. On March 8, 2017, the pair were arrested together during a protest outside Trump International Hotel & Tower in Manhattan.
“We get arrested in civil disobedience (unplanned ????) on International Women’s Day during the #DayWithoutWoman noon event organized by the Women’s March,” Sarsour said in a Facebook post documenting the moment, and sharing a photo of her, Ahuja and fellow activist Faiza Ali being arrested.
Ahuja has gushed about her controversial mentor.
“What they don’t realize is that @lsarsour has raised a generation of activists. She paved the way for all of us. When they come for her, they come for all of us. Not on our watch. NOPE. We love you and stand with you always, Linda! #StandWithLinda,” she said in one tweet from Aug. 2020.
“Linda Sarsour is a freedom fighter and she taught us how to fight #istandwithlinda,” she said in another. “Linda Sarsour is my shero. The end. #phenomenalwoman” Ahuja added in yet a third social media homily to the activist.
Before Yang, Ahuja spent her time in more progressive circles and appears more philosophically aligned with his opponent Maya Wiley — to whom she donated $250 in Aug 2020 (before Yang entered the race).
In 2019 Ahuja offered a tweet sympathetic to Kimberly Watkins — who accused Yang of firing her when she worked at his company Manhattan Prep because she was married. Yang denied the allegation.

Sarsour and her Women’s March were closely aligned to hate boss and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Sarsour herself delivered a passionate speech at his #JusticeOrElse march in Washington D.C in 2015. She has also publicly praised Palestinian terrorist Rasmea Odeh, who was convicted in 1970 for participating in the bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket which left two dead.
Sarsour has frequently lauded the benefits of Sharia Law and supports the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.
“Her views have no place in our political discourse and any candidate who associates with her is guilty of handing a megaphone to anti-Semites around the country,” Ronald Lauder, a Republican and President of the World Jewish Congress, told The Post in September after Sarsour was named an official surrogate of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign.
Sarsour did not respond to a request for comment but does not appear to have made an endorsement in the race. A review of her social media suggests she is personally friendlier with Eric Adams — who she backed in his campaign for Brooklyn Borough President in 2013.
Yang has made a concerted effort to court the city’s Jewish voters. He’s come out hard in favor of Israel and against BDS, and voiced support for greater autonomy among the city’s religious Yeshiva schools. On Thursday he named David Schwartz, a Brooklyn district leader, as his “Jewish Community Outreach Director.”
“Andrew and I have been outspoken in our support for Israel and equally outspoken in our opposition to BDS, which singles out Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, for delegitimization. The private relationships of campaign staffers have no bearing on the clearly stated policy positions of Yang for New York. We unequivocally reject BDS —always have and always will,” campaign co-chair Congressman Ritchie Torres told The Post.
Reps for the campaign refused to say what role — if any — Sarsour might play in a future Yang administration.

Yang is actually a very amicable kind of guy until you listen closely to what he supports. He is a hard core communist with a softer approach and now an anti-Semitic…. New York will love him. Just think he can be the first ASIAN mayor! They just love “diversity” up there…

“Linda Sarsour is a freedom fighter and she taught us how to fight #istandwithlinda,” she said in another. “Linda Sarsour is my shero. The end.” Well, what a deluded little girl. Linda Soursewer is a snake who makes herself out to be the victim. Every time. The true definition of a serpent.

Freedom means whatever you want it to mean when you’re a Leftist. It’s Newspeak. Collectivism is individualism. Slavery is freedom. Submission (Islam) is peace.
“Freedom, in a political context, means freedom from government coercion. It does not mean freedom from the landlord, or freedom from the employer, or freedom from the laws of nature which do not provide men with automatic prosperity. It means freedom from the coercive power of the state—and nothing else….
If one upholds freedom, one must uphold man’s individual rights; if one upholds man’s individual rights, one must uphold his right to his own life, to his own liberty, to the pursuit of his own happiness—which means: one must uphold a political system that guarantees and protects these rights—which means: the politico-economic system of capitalism.” – Ayn Rand

Who can’t agree with what Ayn Rand wrote here? Of course, Communists, Nazis and f’ing muslums are all able to spout platitudes about liberty, justice and freedom, it’s implementing them that’s the problem.

A lot of people can’t agree with what Ayn Rand wrote here! LOL! That’s why we are in the situation we’re in. Individual rights and private property rights can ONLY be defended and upheld on a moral foundation of RATIONAL SELFISHNESS. If selfishness is wrong, so is individualism and the rights of the individual. If, there is a better and higher morality than rational selfishness, let us say if ALTRUISM is the highest moral ideal, then rational selfishness and therefore capitalism, must be put a stop to. If man is not an end in himself then he is an end to something else other than himself, for instance the “common good”, society, the race, or Allah.
“Some unphilosophical, eclectic altruists, invoking such concepts as “inalienable rights,” “personal freedom,” “private choice,” have claimed that service to others, though morally obligatory, should not be compulsory. The committed, philosophical altruists, however, are consistent: recognizing that such concepts represent an individualist approach to ethics and that this is incompatible with the altruist morality, they declare that there is nothing wrong with compulsion in a good cause—that the use of force to counteract selfishness is ethically justified—and more: that it is ethically mandatory.
Every man, they argue, is morally the property of others—of those others it is his lifelong duty to serve; as such, he has no moral right to invest the major part of his time and energy in his own private concerns. If he attempts it, if he refuses voluntarily to make the requisite sacrifices, he is by that fact harming others, i.e., depriving them of what is morally theirs—he is violating men’s rights, i.e., the right of others to his service—he is a moral delinquent, and it is an assertion of morality if others forcibly intervene to extract from him the fulfillment of his altruist obligations, on which he is attempting to default. Justice, they conclude, “social justice,” demands the initiation of force against the non-sacrificial individual; it demands that others put a stop to his evil. Thus has moral fervor been joined to the rule of physical force, raising it from a criminal tactic to a governing principle of human relationships.” – Leonard Peikoff

If Yang is the front runner, how horrible are the others?
The cream usually rises to the top. Yang is more like what happens when you add lemon to milk.
If you hated de Blasio, you are sure to hate Yang even more. But seriously, why do so many Dems have Jew haters on their staff?

I found it really strange that a woman like Sarsour became a spokesperson for the Woman,s Movement while wearing a hijab and telling us that sharia is a good thing, meanwhile she screams nasty crap about America, nasty crap about Jewish people, and yet she uses Facebook which is owned by a Jewish guy who was born, and lives, in America…Go figure…

ERFA MATA. if you cannot or do not speak arabic, how do you read your kor’an?? feel free to ask your favourite imam to translate for you. that is, if he can speak arabic..
