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.

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.

You don't think every intelligence agency in the world was keeping tabs on a blackmail campaign involving powerful people?

You're just saying the CIA and Mossad were doing their jobs LOL.

Trafficking women from Eastern Europe is the Russian Mafia's jam, but apparently you can't even imagine Putin being involved at all. Why do conspiritards make wild accusations about everyone other than Putin? Ever once wonder who's making up these conspiracy theories?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

No I mean they were financing it and arranging it. Of course every intelligence agency that knew about it would've kept tabs on it if they were able to get someone on the inside. But the most likely candidate for the actual ownership of the ring is Mossad as far as currently easily available info suggests. Not like I've done any super deep research for it.

If you have something tying Epstein to Putin, why not share with the rest of the class? It would be interesting to learn more.

Also the thing with Putin conspiracy theories is that they're usually not just theories. There's paper trails for Russian funding of right wing groups in Europe and the US. Everything was going right by the Foundations of Geopolitics playbook till he overplayed his hand in Ukraine.

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