Andrew Yang who is running to be New York City’s next mayor, has announced his full support for Israel bombing women and children in the Gaza Strip.
I'm standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists. The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.

He was confronted over his shilling for the Zionist regime.

He’s been getting grief over this from all sorts of people including AOC, even though AOC just pretends to be anti-Israel.
Utterly shameful for Yang to try to show up to an Eid event after sending out a chest-thumping statement of support for a strike killing 9 children, especially after his silence as Al-Aqsa was attacked.
But then to try that in Astoria? During Ramadan?! They will let you know. https://t.co/r721mHyfri

The problem Yang has is that New York City has one of the largest populations of Jews outside of Israel. So in order for him to win office, he has to express support for Israel.
Unfortunately, Yang went from being a person who used to say some moderately interesting things when he ran for the presidency, to a standard run of the mill Democrat shill. It is just a further illustration of how bankrupt the broken the political system is.
