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.
Israel owes the people of the United States answers for what exactly Epstein was doing on their behest, and if their government was involved in human trafficking and the targeting of American government officials and socialites.
A reminder that when Robert Maxwell died, the directors of every Israeli intelligence agency attended his funeral. He had been suspected of being a triple agent by the British foreign office, with funding from the USSR and a longstanding link with the Mossad, for which he is suspected of selling backdoored software to Los Alamos and involvement in the kidnapping of a nuclear whistleblower in London who then spent 18 years in captivity in Israel.
So Epstein certainly had connections with dabblers in targeting US government institutions and human traffickers.
