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.

Being anti Israel is not the same as being antisemitic, it's being anti-zionist.

You'll never convince zionists of that though

True. But fuck them.

they know it, they are just using antisemitism as a free pass

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.

What are you talking about

[–] Storm@slrpnk.net 78 points 1 day ago (3 children)

In fact, being pro Israel is antisemitic

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 16 hours ago

In fact, the zionists co-operated with Hitler, which many Jews didn't exactly agree with.

Jewish people are in more danger thanks to Israel. So yeah.

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.
