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.
I just got one of my comments removed for “antisemitism” without any reason why they thought it is that.
Anyone know how I can message the mod or get them to provide more details on their justification?
Edit: I think I know the reason, I was talking about Israel but I didn’t specify (so they might think I meant Jews), I guess that’s fair.
Go to the “News” home page and click on the 3 dots in the upper right-hand corner. Then click on “Community Info” where you’ll find a list of the mods.
Fyi - ask nicely for clarification.
What made my comment seem not nice?
I think OP means just be extra polite when you ask about it
I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to imply you weren’t.
Zahille7 said it better, and clearer, than I did.
