Red Star Rising Over NYC: China’s Hidden Hand in the ‘Jews for Zohran’ Scam
If you thought New York politics couldn’t get more cynical, think again. - Charlton AllenAn exposé from The New York Post has shone a harsh spotlight on one more act in the city’s ideological theater of the absurd—Jews for Zohran, a meticulously choreographed campaign crafted to launder the record of Zohran Mamdani, the self-styled Democratic Socialist assemblyman from Queens with a well-documented history of Israel-bashing.
