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.

    amplify the propaganda of a hostile foreign leader

    Not only you’re dumb beyond belief as to interpret things as that, but of course you also downvote every comment of mine here and there as if they have anything to do with anything, like that helps your argument in any way.

    Please continue to spout ridiculous nonsense as to how any site you ever visited is “your news outlet”, that will surely fortify your view.

      Sounds like you are just a Zionist anyways. Probably a “settler”.

        Oh yeah, anyone who downvotes your nonsensical drivel any time per your hundreds of downvotes is a ‘settler’. Just like it works with Israelites. But somehow you’re not one of them asswipes hijacking actual constructive discussion, are you? No, you’re just one of the incoherent clowns repeating the same accusations against people opposed to actual political discussion, aren’t you?
