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.

I don’t really follow the “anti-semitism” argument. AFAIK, Ashkenazi Jews like Netanyahu are basically European (a.k.a., white folks) with a little Semitic ancestry mixed in, whereas Palestinians are more or less pure Semites. Maybe the “anti-semitism” spiel holds up when comparing themselves to other Europeans, but how is this anything more than the usual white imperialists fabricating a philosophy to justify killing brown people and taking their land?
Peak Irony: The nation that has very purposefully done the most to spread the impression that Genocide and Mass Murdering of Children is a Jewish trait and thus has endangered countless innocent Jews all over the World, claims that somebody who is against the kind of action that nation commits is against the Jewish People.
Ironic that one would post complaints about antisemitism on shitter, the platform whose very owner did a full on Hitler salute on live television in front of thousands of a local audience as well. twice!
Fellas, is it antisemetic to perform your mayoral duties to New York City instead of Tel Aviv?
Not bending over fast enough to lick the boots of Zionists/Neue-Nazis is antisemitic!
Of course it is! You must fall to the feet of the chosen people, didn’t you know?
If something displeases Israel, it very much pleases me. Please continue Mr. Mamdani!
My Bingo card is just bonkers today.
Yawn. Israel needs to shut the fuck up
The opinion of a genocidaire is worthless.
I disagree.
In terms of Moral guidance their opinion is pretty much a perfect compass pointing exactly in the opposite direction of the one people should be aiming for.
When Evil rages about somebody, you know they’re in the side of Good.
I’m accusing Israel of antisemitism. They are making it hell for the Jewish culture with their genocide.
They really are. They’re putting a target on the backs of average and everyday jewish people who want nothing to do with Israel’s bloodlust.
IKR? Everyone loved Jews until Israel started in 1948.
Oh come on, that’s not what they’re saying. Israel certainly isn’t helping things.
They’re a 3 day old account doing nothing but defend Israel. There’s no use arguing with them.
Looking at their short history, looks like mods are taking out the bot trash
From the IHRA working definition, “[C]iticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.”
Well, if you still had any doubts, this ought to convince you!
So they’re shit scared of Mamdani then? That sounds like a good thing.
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
Mandami lifted a rule stating you cannot stop doing buainess with isreal.
He gave people the FREEDOM to choose to stop dealing witb isreal. And of course, let the crybabies come out of the woodwork.
