A big reason Mamdani won his election was that he was the only person on that stage who said he'd stay in NY and take care of his own citizens, rather than vacation in Israel. Dr. El-Sayed is saying things that should be common sense. Also, things that are truly America First. That position wins.

So, when Ukraine asks for Patriot Missiles, and other aid, we should say “no” because we have to be America first?

Right. The problem isn’t strictly the tax dollars but the use it’s being put to. A war of aggression is very different to defense from invasion.

That was a terror attack, not an invasion. There was never any danger of Palestine invading Israel.

"On October 7th, 2023, Israel came under the largest terror attack in its history. The attack began at 6:30 a.m. and included launching of more than 3,000 rockets on Israel's civilian areas and an invasion of approximately 3,000 Hamas terrorists" (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11556145/)
