On his first day in office, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Thursday has overturned all the executive orders signed by his predecessor, Eric Adams, after September 26, 2024, the date that the outgoing mayor was indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud and campaign finance offenses.
Among the canceled orders are the ban on protesting in front of synagogues, the ban on city employees cooperating with the BDS movement and the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance controversial definition of antisemitism.
Under the IHRA definition of antisemitism, claims that “the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” deny the “Jewish people their right to self-determination.” The IHRA definition is often criticized for conflating legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
Truly amazing how much time and money this country spends on Israel Israel Israel Israel Israel. So very very tired. Glad we have all our problems solved here.

I feel like that comment is dunking on Adams, not Mamdami, for wasting time and resources on these pro-Israel laws. Could be wrong but I had to reread it a couple times to figure out how it could be interpreted your way

To me, undoing Zionist decisions isn’t the obsession with Israel being criticized in the comment. Also, the reversals returns constitutional rights so I assumed it wasn’t the thing they were mad at here
I guess we’ll wait for OC to clarify.
