Israel’s foreign ministry has accused the New York mayor, Zohran Mamdani, of pouring “antisemitic gasoline on an open fire” after he reversed a recent order by the outgoing mayor, Eric Adams.
“On his very first day as @NYCMayor, Mamdani shows his true face: he scraps the IHRA definition of antisemitism and lifts restrictions on boycotting Israel. This isn’t leadership. It’s antisemitic gasoline on an open fire,” the foreign ministry said in a post on X.
Mamdani revoked an Adams-era order that adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, which the previous administration said included “demonizing Israel and holding it to double standards as forms of contemporary antisemitism”.
Israel’s response came hours after Mamdani issued an order to rescind all executive orders that Adams issued after he was indicted on federal corruption charges in 2024 – charges that were later, controversially, dropped.
Pardon my French but WHAT THE FUCK does Israel’s opinion on the mayor from a city half way around the globe have to do with anythingv
Why does the mayor of NYC need to have an opinion of Israel? He’s not the Secretary of State
He can punch up why is Israel punching down
Commenting is punching down
Repeat after me: being anti-Israel (government) is not being anti-Semitic. Being anti-Hamas is not being Islamophobic. When you are against assholes and warcrimes you are anti-asshole and anti-warcriminal.
I never heard pro hamas saying being against Hamas is islamophobic
No, they say being anti Hamas is Zionist.
No they say that to those who want to deflect from the fact that Israel is the occupier
Every country is an occupier
