Nobody should care what Israel's fascist, genocidal government thinks.

Mamdani has expressed support for the Jewish population of NYC.

The only thing he did here that Israel is criticizing him for, is reaffirming the distinction between Jewish identity and the state of Israel. The definition he scrapped conflated the two; it was a bad-faith definition aimed at obfuscation.

It's entirely possible to validly criticize the actions of a nation's government without promoting hatred of its people; the fact of Israel being an ethnostate doesn't change that.

It's also harmful to conflate Jewish identity with Israeli politics, because there are many Jewish people who don't support the actions of the far-right, ultra-orthodox government of the state of Israel. Conflating them results in the dispersal of blame for Israel's actions across all Jewish people everywhere, and that is anti-semitic.

Also, Arabic is a semitic language, so doesn't that make islamophobia a form of anti-semitism? That would mean Benjamin Netanyahu is the biggest anti-semite alive today. Just food for thought...

Israel is hated by the entire world lol

Fuck israel

Who cares? Anyone who doesn’t take glee in genocide, raping and murdering babies, bombing hospitals, murder of journalists, etc. is called antisemitic these days. The word has lost all meaning.

If they didn’t, he’d be doing it wrong.

Israel blocked Doctors Without Borders from Palestine.

They don’t get to have an opinion anymore.

Well look at that, a foreign country interfering in US internal politics again, and both major parties turn a blind eye.

Changing the name to Antifa Jihad City was a bit much imho

I don't understand how you can have restrictions on boycotting anything, much less a country.

Like I genuinely don't get what that means or how it could be in any way enforceable.

The Zionists love to use antisemitism as a sword against criticism of Israel. (and the Shoah as their shield) Meanwhile the American right is split over the goddamn Jewish question. Who else thinks this strategy is short-sighted?

Israel's foreign ministry can fuck themselves with a wire brush

Israel using anti-semitic tech from peter thiel for its war machine, and recieving aid from the most anti-semetic western country, calling a single person a anti-semite. when you think the saying" everyone is a bitch to you, you are more than likely a bitch", same goes for anti-semitism

Who gives a fuck what facials think?

When Israeli Government criticizes anyone, my response is “so what”.

Death, death to the IDF!

Got into a repeated argument with a guy here on fediverse this morning who was promoting "Mamdani is antisemitic" stuff. He was extremely adamant, and was following the same type argument structure as I used to get into with the MAGAts on reddit. I regret to announce that the trolls have arrived :(

From what I've read the new mayor has withdrawn all orders from the previous mayor following his criminal indictment on the grounds that they may be self serving to the previous mayor and/or made as political favors intended to avoid prosecution.

I've also read the new mayor is reviewing each to see which are worth reimplenting in part or in whole.

Whether or not this was a wise choice is up for debate, but it is no surprise that those affected were ready to pounce in order to score political points. Someone associated with the new mayor must have seen this coming for this particular religiously charged topic, and must have known the NY press would not be forgiving.

That card expired long ago

Israel Threatens NYC with Second 9/11 Over Antisemitic Mayor

"We won't be so subtle this time, you Goy Fucks!" declares moderate party leader Bull DozeGaza.

As 19th century journalist Donn Piatt said, "A man's greatness can be measured by his enemies."

BOMBING Innocent people is JEWISH TRADITION and Anyone who Opposes it is ANTI SEMETIC! We need MORE good Jews like the Bondi Beach Shooter who was ONLY COPYING Israel and therefore NOT Anti Semetic!

Of course they do.

Does the Pope poop in the forest? No wait ... I'm confused now

Conflating criticism of Israel and antisemitism is one thing Israel and antisemites agree on, except that they start from different ends of the same equation.
