Major difference here is that El-Sayed is multiples smarter as Rhodes scholar, Oxford PhD and Columbia med school grad. Plus the idea is about not sending money via either Israel or any other group to the Middle East and instead spending money in Michigan on schools, roads, etc. Similar to the criticisms against Mandami and now he is the on track to be the most popular NYC mayor in history.
Well, the defeat of AIPAC will help reduce the involvement of the West in the Middle East as it was them and Bibi who are pushing for a Greater Israel, which you should look what that encompasses and requires further US military involvement and destabilization of the region. Israel has dropped 200k tonnes of ordinance in Gaza alone (85% the size of Montreal and equal to 15 Hiroshimas) since 2023 let alone the region including Lebanon, Syria, etc, and Trump just recently approved another 40k 2k bombs and 20k in penetrator bombs. Pretty sure the consequences of that are what you are seeing.
It seems the main issue today was that Trump broke his promise to MAGA regarding no foreign wars and lowering cost of living. The decision to attack Iran and the consequences wasn't even an external action like 9/11 but instead an entirely self-made decision. MAGA doesn't care about dead bodies in the Middle East, but the gas prices cannot be ignored, food costs cannot be ignored and diesel prices cannot be ignored either.
