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.
The more Israel genocides, the more Hamas seems sympathetic/justified, kinda like Saw Gerrera in Star Wars.
Its almost like the writers were trying to say something about the nature of oppressive empires and the various revolutionaries who oppose them.
God damn Andor got me worked up. What a prescient and well-written work of art. If things get bad enough in America, there’s no doubt Andor will have tons of quotes being used to stir up the people.
“Let’s kill thousands of the adult population of Gaza since they’re all affiliated with Hamas. Surely that won’t lead to radicalization of the youth in Gaza and emergence of Hamas 2, like it did the last time.”
I wouldn’t say they are sympathetic or justified, since they’re absolutely terrorists doing terrible things to both Palestinians and Israelis. I’m just saying that I see the cause and effect.
You should read about all the times zionists killed jews or msybe you alreadycknow and just try to deflect from or minimize Israeli terrorism
