Secret in Mamdani’s video that shows what a lie ‘Nakba’ is

Like all theater kids, the artist formerly known as Young Cardamom — more famous now as Zohran Mamdani — loves a good prop.

So when his administration released a tear-jerker of a video to commemorate the Nakba, the word Palestinians use to describe their displacement during the war of 1948, it began with a tracking shot of a gorgeous poster hanging in the home of 88-year-old Inea Bushnaq.

The poster shows the Old City of Jerusalem in the shadow of a lonesome olive tree, with a caption that read “Visit Palestine.”

The camera caresses it longingly, as Bushnaq shares her sob story of having to flee the dastardly Zionists who kicked her out of her home all those decades ago.

Never mind that Bushnaq’s story ignores the complexities of a war started by five Arab armies, which invaded the nascent state of Israel amid vows to eradicate it.
