Breitbart: New York Lawmaker Declines to Support Measures Recognizing Israel
New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D) has declined to sign resolutions recognizing Israel and condemning the Holocaust, making him one of only five members in the 150-person Assembly to do so. His actions have drawn criticism, particularly after he condemned Israel following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.
Mamdani defended his stance, claiming that he voted for the Holocaust resolution but did not co-sponsor it due to a policy he implemented to focus on legislative substance. He stated that his refusal to co-sponsor resolutions was not a reflection of his views on their content. Critics, including Assemblyman Sam Berger, have accused him of antisemitism and labeled him as the "most anti-Israel person in the Assembly."

The Imaginative Conservative: The Beginning of Mystical Prayer
The charismatic movement within the Catholic Church has evolved from private mental prayer to communal practices, drawing on early Christian traditions. This shift emphasizes the importance of both emotional fervor and deeper, daily mental prayer to achieve true spiritual growth and union with Christ.
While the movement has produced significant spiritual fruit, there is a risk of stagnation if members focus solely on emotional experiences. To advance in the spiritual journey, leaders must guide participants toward authentic mystical contemplation, avoiding superficial practices that do not lead to genuine union with God.
