Can you give one example of his anti-semitism?
NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, after nixing a pair of executive orders that dealt with antisemitism and boycotting Israel, defended his actions amid fallout that has included sharp criticism from the Israeli government and concerns from local Jewish groups.
As one of his first acts as mayor, Mamdani declined to renew two executive orders signed by former Mayor Eric Adams: One that adopted a broad definition of antisemitism and another that prohibited city employees from engaging in the boycott, divest and sanctions movement against Israel.

AJC Expresses Alarm Over NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani’s Continued Problematic Rhetoric and Urges a Change of Course
American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, remains deeply troubled by New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s continued use of problematic rhetoric as it relates to Israel and Jews, urges Mamdani to hear the concerns of the New York Jewish...www.ajc.org
Etc. etc.
I am not going to read it but I can guess there is zero anti semitism
How is not renewing an executive order anti-semitic?

So basically he disagrees that criticism of Israel is anti-semitic, and because of that you automatically brand him as anti-semititc, JFC.As for the definition of antisemitism adopted by Adams, which was promulgated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, Mamdani noted that many Jewish organizations in the city do not abide by the interpretation, which, for example, equates some criticisms of Israel’s actions as antisemitic.
And because he dared to label Israel's actions as Genocide, that also make him an anti-semite? I know you hate the guys but none of these are examples of anti-semitism and when people like you label them as that, it makes actual anti-semitism more difficult to spot because you constantly label any criticism of Israel as anti-semitic.

Hamas continues to publicly call for the annihilation of the State of Israel and for violence against Jews - this is deeply personal to most Jewish New Yorkers, presumably including those who are critical of Israel’s war in Gaza. It should not be difficult to clearly and consistently condemn this terror organization
Mamdani repeated that he does not support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state as he “would not recognize any state's right to exist with a system of hierarchy on the basis of race or religion."
Whatever floats your boat and makes you comfortable - typical leftist.
Phew, goal post moving like a champ. And he has condemned HamasAh, did you miss that he refuses to condemn Hamas?
You are making that up, please quote where he said anything like that?I wonder why...could it because he thinks Israel is an illegitimate country would not be sad to see them wiped off the map?
Making an "unproven claim" about Israel is not anti-semitic. Slurs against Israel are not anti-semitic. You people can't get your head around the idea that criticising Israel is not the same as criticising Jews.Also, repeating the "genocide" claim is anti-Semitic in the sense that it's a claim that is unproven yet is used as deliberate slur against Israel.
See my previous response, he has condemned themAh, did you miss that he refuses to condemn Hamas? I wonder why...could it because he thinks Israel is an illegitimate country would not be sad to see them wiped off the map?

52 seconds... "Of course I condemn Hamas"
I have never met someone so confident about things that can be proven false with just a little googling...

The list of concerns about Mamdani’s rhetoric is long. Despite pressure, he has still refused to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which many perceive as a call to violence against Jewish and Israeli civilians. He has not accepted Israel’s right to exist as the world’s singular Jewish state. He supports the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement, which has been widely accused of applying double standards to Israel and fostering antisemitism. He has repeatedly called Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide, a legally fraught buzzword in relation to this conflict that diminishes the magnitude of the term.
During his time as a SoundCloud rapper, Mamdani also released lyrics praising the Holy Land Five, a group that has funneled millions of dollars into the hands of Hamas.
These comments go far beyond criticism of Israeli policy. They do not resemble a call for Palestinian human rights, nor do they represent a genuine hope for peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians alike. Rather, his comments come off as supportive of terrorism and aimed at delegitimizing the very idea of Jewish self-determination. This kind of inflammatory rhetoric should be disqualifying for any serious leadership role — let alone the leadership of the city with the world’s largest Jewish population outside of Israel.
Glitch McConnell from the matrix?
