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.
Oh no! A UK-based news outlet dares to write about things happening outside of the UK, unlike every other news outlet in the world. And they've become popular in the US, how dare they! This definitely means they're ‘our’ US news site, like every cowardly and duplicitous US news outlet, which is all of them.
And they're also still ‘aren't Israeli’, whatever the fuck that means despite The Guardian consistently criticizing Israel's attempts at the inflammatory foreign policy and comments, and you being deliberately blind to all of that. So what does your incoherent drivel mean?
P.S. I can still see you downvoting my unrelated comments, dummy.
