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.

Criticizing Israel is not Antisemitism.
It will never be Antisemitism.
It is an assault on non-israeli jews world wide to try to claim valid critisim of Israel is antisemitism. It is an intentional and malicious undermining of what Antisemitism is, to try and claim it has anything, whatsoever, to do with valid criticism of the racist, genocidal state of Israel.

at this point that’s a compliment
“Antisemetic” now means “disagrees with the agenda of the Israeli government and military,” which currently involves the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, the disruption of the economy, government, and society of all NATO nations and allies, and normalizing human rights abuses around the world.
We need more of these so-called “antisemites” in the US and other governments.
The fact the political establishment is this afraid of one mayor in one city with these ideas is all the indication you need to know these ideas are in our (the working people’s) best interests.
To be fair, it has meant that for a while now.
Agreed. It would more accurate to say it’s no longer a secret
he scraps the IHRA definition of antisemitism and lifts restrictions on boycotting Israel.
Which the IHRA itself adopted as a non-legally binding working definition. It is explicitly not meant to be used in a legal context.
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?
Its like “democratic republic” of North Korea, or national “socialists”. They are none of these things, it’s authoritarianism in cosplay.
Fascists know their ideas are unpopular, that’s why they always pretend to be something else
You’re right, Ashkenazi are Europeans. Antisemitism just means Jewish supremacists don’t like you.
Projection?
Fuck you Israel.
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.
Where can I buy antisemitic gasoline?
They’re a New Yorker. Why should they care about that?
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?
Trip them up Zohran, adopt the Jerusalem Declaration.
If something displeases Israel, it very much pleases me. Please continue Mr. Mamdani!
