Truth-telling Hochul lets Mamdanis genocide lie slip right on by

“Not telling the truth is something that needs to be called out,” sniffs Gov.Kathy Hochul of Benjamin Netanyahu’s charge that Mayor Zohran Mamdani supports Hamas — yet she’s silent on Mamdani’s “genocide” lie.

The gov preached on truth-telling after the Israeli prime minister’s thundering UN address Thursday, but it’s hardly the first time she fudged facts for Zohran.She insists he’s criticized Hamas and the Oct.

7 attacks, but the mayor routinely dances around the question, as when he did last October.“I don’t really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel,” Mamdani told Fox News, “beyond the question of justice and safety and the fact that anything has to abide by international law and that applies to Hamas, that applies to the Israeli military.”The “international law” he routinely invokes is no such thing, by the way — what he (and other Israel-bashers) points to on that front is nothing but the politicized posturing of UN functionaries chosen by diplomats dedicated to Israel’s destruction.Having no “opinions” about Hamas — and both-sidesing the matter by putting the terror group and Israel in the same category — is a smarmy way to elevate a theocratic death cult while denigrating an actual democratic nation battling a ruthless foe dedicated to its destruction and the slaughter of its people.Mamdani spent months refusing to denounce the terrorist motto “Globalize the Intifada,” claiming “intifada” is a neutral term meaning “shaking off” and pretending the phrase simply calls for human rights.While he personally doesn’t use the term, he says, he also sees nothing wrong with it.But Mamdani has in fact long stood in support of global terror.Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!
