Israel Condemns New NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani as ‘Antisemitic’-lllllllllllll
Israel’s government on Friday accused newly sworn-in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of antisemitism after he revoked all of former Mayor Eric Adams’ executive orders issued since Adams’ 2024 indictment — including two measures explicitly supportive of Israel.
Among the rescinded orders were Adams’ adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and a city policy barring officials from participating in boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) efforts targeting Israel.
“On his very first day as mayor, Mamdani shows his true face: He scraps the IHRA definition of antisemitism and lifts restrictions on boycotting Israel,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry wrote on X. “This isn’t leadership. It’s antisemitic gasoline on an open fire.”
The ministry’s rebuke followed widespread criticism from Jewish groups and New York Republicans who argued Mamdani’s actions would weaken protections for the city’s Jewish residents.
The IHRA definition, used by the U.S. State Department since 2010, characterizes antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews,” including the “demonization or application of double standards to Israel.” According to the Anti-Defamation League, more than 1,000 institutions worldwide have adopted the standard, describing it as the international consensus.
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist and the first Muslim to serve as New York City mayor, defended his decision as part of a broader effort to give his administration “a clean slate” following the Adams scandal.
“What we did was sign an executive order that continued every executive order that predated the moment when our former mayor was indicted,” Mamdani said Friday. “That was a moment when many New Yorkers lost faith in city government’s ability to prioritize the needs of the public, as opposed to the needs of the person.”
Pressed by reporters about the backlash from Israel and Jewish advocacy groups, Mamdani insisted he would continue to combat antisemitism, but argued that the IHRA framework had drawn criticism even within the Jewish community.
“I know that a number of leading Jewish organizations have immense concerns around this definition,” Mamdani said. “We will deliver on our commitment to protect Jewish New Yorkers in a manner that is able to actually fulfill that.”
He added that his administration “will be relentless in its efforts to combat hate and division,” pledging to “fight the scourge of antisemitism by funding hate-crime prevention, celebrating our neighbors, and practicing a politics of universality.”
Supporters of Mamdani, including Jewish Voice for Peace, defended the rollback, saying the IHRA’s language has been used to silence critics of Israeli government policy. But mainstream Jewish groups, led by the ADL and the American Jewish Committee, called the move “deeply irresponsible,” warning it would embolden antisemitic behavior at a time of heightened tension in the city.
Republican leaders also blasted the new mayor. “This is what happens when radical activists take over City Hall,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.). “He’s siding with anti-Israel extremists over the safety of Jewish New Yorkers.”
Mamdani, 33, was sworn in shortly after midnight Thursday and moved swiftly to undo Adams’ post-indictment directives. His first executive order declared: “All Executive Orders issued on or after September 26, 2024, and in effect on December 31, 2025, are hereby revoked.”
The former mayor had been indicted for allegedly accepting illegal donations from Turkish sources to facilitate construction of a new Turkish consulate. The Justice Department ultimately dropped the case earlier this year, but the episode damaged Adams’ political standing and set the stage for Mamdani’s populist victory.
Mamdani also signed three housing-related orders on Thursday, establishing task forces to accelerate affordable development and address the city’s worsening housing crisis. But his rescission of the Israel-related directives quickly overshadowed his domestic agenda and triggered international diplomatic blowback before his first full day in office had ended.
By Friday evening, Mamdani’s office was facing calls from both state lawmakers and foreign officials to reinstate the IHRA definition. The new mayor remained defiant, saying his actions reflected “a city government grounded in inclusion, not intimidation.”
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
