Foreign ministry says mayor has poured ‘antisemitic gasoline on an open fire’ by scrapping IHRA definition
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”.
The joke of American politics is that we really are rife with antisemites, but they’re very friendly with the Israeli lobbying coalition.

It’s become routine to see Zionists and White Nationalists holding hands together at CPAC, TurningPoint, and the Conservative Climate Leadership Conference.
Imagine a bunch of John Birchers doing photo ops with Xi Jinping and making ritual visits to Beijing, to praise Mao, because they think it will Own The Libs. That’s the state of American partisanship.
Zionism fits with the white nationalist goal of separate ethnostates, while all the right-wing theocracy fans want the Jews to control Israel because it fits their “prophecy” of an American government ordained by god.
Schrödinger’s Jew: embraced or demonized depending on what’s most politically convenient.
Edit: I think the better framing, in the context of Schrödinger’s thought experiment, would be: “Schrödinger’s Jew: simultaneously a hated enemy and a strategic ally, until observation collapses the state.”
The Christofascists need Israel to rule the region as an ethnostate, it is a prerequisite for the Christian end times.
And the current events seem to be directly moving towards these various prophecies, likely intentionally directed by various State actors as well. World War 3 being based in the region is certainly a possibility looking more likely by the day.
