“I said on the campaign trail that I wouldn’t be attending, and I’ve made my views on the Israeli government clear,” Mamdani said at the same briefing.
Most people only know about Puerto Rican day from the episode of Seinfeld that aired exactly once before being pulled for desecrating the island’s flag.
Sure, but does New Orleans have a large jewish population? NYC historically does, so it’s no surprise there is influence. Israel can burn imo but I’m not shocked that somewhere with a high percentage of jewish people would have a parade in support of Israel, especially considering the work Israel does to push the connection between judaism and Israel.
Large enough that the lefties were split on Palestine and the local narrative was that wearing a Palestinian flag at a protest was tantamount to being anti semitic. But i doubt we have a huge population.
Apparently there are about 1.4 million Jewish people in NYC, or about 14% of the population, so yeah, it’s sizeable. I’m not defending them at all, it just grates me that people just gloss over what I feel are important details.
NYC loves its parades. There’s the Puerto Rican day parade for one, that one is pretty big. I wouldn’t look too much into that aspect of it.
Of course, fuck Israel nevertheless
Edit: there’s so many that Futurama made a joke about it
Not sure that compares since Puerto Rico is an American territory.
It compares if you look at the US as an Israeli territory.
NYC has huge populations of both intermingled with just about every other cultural or ethnic group you can imagine
There’s also St Patrick’s for Irish, and some Italian festivals, lgbtq parades, police parades (actually I think that overlaps with St Patrick’s).
When you live in tiny apartments, almost any excuse to be outside is welcome.
so is Israel /j
Uh, I think you have that reversed lol

I thought Puerto Rico was a part of US.
It shares that with Israel
