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.

Remember kids, if Mamdani is killed, it's CIA

Hey, don't be so presumptuous.

It could also be Mossad.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do you also think Mossad killed Charlie Kirk?

Candace Owens is batshit crazy, but even she doesn't make conspiracy theory accusations before there's even a death to invent conspiracy theories about.

No and my remark was mostly a joke. I don't think Mossad cares much about Mamdani. Not yet anyway.

I DO think they're likely to have been behind the Epstein-Maxwell pedo ring if we're getting conspiratorial. There's circumstantial evidence, but no smoking gun. 1) a former CIA spy said that compromising people is very much Mossad playbook. 2) Maxwell's dad was a double or triple agent with Mossad ties. 3) some prominent Israeli politicians like Ehud Barak were very close to Epstein.

Right, Kirk was a fervent Zionist so Mossad killed him. And I guess RFK killed JFK

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

CIA should grant privilege for that to happen

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, Trump could just tell CIA to go ahead and grant permission if Bibi asks him to. It's not that difficult to make things like that happen in the current admin.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, you're right
