"I don't know what to think..."

Last Friday, a dear, thoughtful Christian friend texted me:

“Are you writing a piece on Mamdani? (Names of several Jewish friends) are on opposite sides and I really don’t know what to think.”

I feel you my friend. I’m Jewish and I feel the same way. Given everything happening behind the scenes in my life right now, I’ve hesitated to touch this topic, because I know whatever I write will piss off someone, either because it’s not unquestioningly pro for one side or unquestioningly anti for others....
