The Central Synagogue attack had no clear connection to Mamdani. He’s still being blamed.

That's the thing about propaganda. The narrative and purpose remains the same regardless of evidence or the truth.

Well, yeah. Conservatives will say anything to advance their goals. Doesn't need to be true or consistent with previous statements. They're bad people.

When I say he was a monster,

When I set fire to his name,

It does not matter where you hear it from,

Whether truth or lies, gets said all the same.

The only people buying into this are deluded fascists. Another piece of propaganda for Faux News.

This is exactly what happened after the Bondi shooting that targeted a Hannukah festival last year. Conservative media and politicians (and even fucking Netanyahu himself) went absolutely feral blaming the government despite the fact that ASIO stopped monitoring the shooters in 2019 under the previous government, and that one of the shooters was born in Australia, with the other (his father) having migrated here about 30 years under the conservative Howard government.

Earlier in 2025 our government recognised the state of Palestine. Ever since the shooting the Epstein class has been astroturfing the far right here and doing their damnedest to destroy the government. I don't believe that's a coincidence.

He's being blamed by filthy racists.

Why not blame them? They don't pay the cost of lies.

That's part of what happens when socially-acceptable delusions from the mud times tell you that you're part of a cosmic battle of good vs. evil and he's on the other team. The lack of evidence clearly means that he's just good at hiding it. Have a little faith / don't ask any questions.
