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.

Who gives a fuck what Israel thinks?
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
“Anyone who hates me is an antisemite!” - The Israeli Guide to Genocide
“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
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?
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.
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?
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!

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
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.
If something displeases Israel, it very much pleases me. Please continue Mr. Mamdani!
Being anti Israel is not the same as being antisemitic, it’s being anti-zionist.
You’ll never convince zionists of that though
they know it, they are just using antisemitism as a free pass
True. But fuck them.
anti zionist you say, hmm interesting
In fact, being pro Israel is antisemitic
Jewish people are in more danger thanks to Israel. So yeah.
In fact, the zionists co-operated with Hitler, which many Jews didn’t exactly agree with.
If you play it all out to its logical conclusion you are absolutely right.
“Only two groups benefit from the conflation of zionism and Judaism: zionists, to legitimize zionism; and anti-semites, to vilify Judaism.”
These days it can just be being pro-humanity and anti-genocide.
Zionism is a nazi ideology. It’s the idea the Jewish people don’t belong among us but should be confined to a land of their own, far away. It’s literally a part of history, it just was madagascar instead of Palestine.
you know those commies, they’re your friend until they aren’t
What are you talking about
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
Fuck you Israel.
