Fellas, is it antisemetic to perform your mayoral duties to New York City instead of Tel Aviv?
Yawn. Israel needs to shut the fuck up
The opinion of a genocidaire is worthless.
From the IHRA working definition, "[C]iticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic."
Well, if you still had any doubts, this ought to convince you!
So they're shit scared of Mamdani then? That sounds like a good thing.
I'm accusing Israel of antisemitism. They are making it hell for the Jewish culture with their genocide.
They really are. They're putting a target on the backs of average and everyday jewish people who want nothing to do with Israel's bloodlust.

Repeat after me: being anti-Israel (government) is not being anti-Semitic. Being anti-Hamas is not being Islamophobic. When you are against assholes and warcrimes you are anti-asshole and anti-warcriminal.
Mandami lifted a rule stating you cannot stop doing buainess with isreal.
He gave people the FREEDOM to choose to stop dealing witb isreal. And of course, let the crybabies come out of the woodwork.
Hey Israel, that word doesn’t mean what you think it means.
They don't care what it means, they just use it to bludgeon people into doing what they want.
Surely nobody cares what Israel has to say at this point.
There was a time when a foreign country impugning a mayor would’ve been big news. Now “Israel accuses person of antisemitism” is just something that happens every few days.
Mamdani immediately rescinded all of Adams' executive orders made after Adams' indictment. I wish this article clarified if this EO was part of that batch.

Israel proves it has a government based on bigotry.
His own base is alienated over his concessions to Zionism, and they still call him "antisemitic".
May as well be dealing with Trump Republicans.
That terrorist country did what?
Sorry Israel but you don't represent Jews
"Israel says..." and "Israel accuses....." now have the same credibility and value as "Trump says..." or "Trump accuses..."

Just like with the US government, if Israel's government is criticizing you you're on the right side.
The word antisemitism used to carry weight, now thanks to Israel it doesn't really anymore
That's what fascists do. Take terms that are commonly understood to mean something serious and use it against every person/group they don't like until it loses all meaning. Then when the fascists are inevitably found to be acting exactly like that term originally described, they can discredit whoever is accusing them because "everyone uses that word for everything, you just don't like us" despite being the cause of that problem in the first place.

Upset and piss off the establishment you love to see it.
Pardon my French but WHAT THE FUCK does Israel’s opinion on the mayor from a city half way around the globe have to do with anythingv
NYC has the largest jewish commiunity outside israel, many of which anti-zionists, and it shows how people of different faiths can co-live peacefully, so you can see why isreal wants to influence our politics
breaking my hiatus to say this:
New York is the present day Lviv in what it meant to Jewish identity before the rise of zionism following the Odessa Pogroms. israel knows this. they want to re-evoke the origins of their movement. they want to control what it means to be Jewish.
but Jewishness is defined for a lot of Jews not by our connection to Levantine soil, but instead our opposition to oppression. fuck zionism forever. and fuck its need to reignite hate against semitic people to create a self fulfilling prophecy that we cannot be safe in our own communities.
israel is pharaoh.

This is how you know that Mamdani made a good choice. When the bullies cry crocodile tears, you can ignore them.
They call him Bibi because he's a big fucking Cry Bibi
Being anti Israel is not the same as being antisemitic, it's being anti-zionist.
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.

"Fascist war criminals say [whatever]"
Ok, sure, who cares. Let's talk AFTER your ICC conviction.
