Likud’s depiction of Zohran Mamdani is latest move in spat between Israel’s prime minister and New York City mayor
Benjamin Netanyahu’s party has compared the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, to the leaders of Iran and Hezbollah on a campaign billboard.
The billboard in central Tel Aviv depicts Mamdani alongside the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and the chief of the militant group Hezbollah, Naim Qassem.
“They want Netanyahu to lose … Don’t let them win,” says the poster featuring the logo of Netanyahu’s rightwing Likud party.
Netanyahu has entered campaign mode to keep his far-right coalition in power after the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, was dissolved in July before elections in October – the first since the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October 2023.
Oh noes! He’s fixing roads and wants people to be able to buy groceries! The horror! The absolute horror!
It’s 3 leaders of nations and a mayor. Their Zionist anxiety is showing.
It’s shit like this that reassures me about the evils of our world.
Isn’t it funny how the worse people on the planet tend to be sooo similar to each other?
As complex as the human brain is, it’s interesting how people tend toward various specific archetypes. You’d think everyone would be very different from one another, but we’re all really similar to someone.
Glad hes getting to them. Fuck Nettanyahu and his entire shitty party. Next leader needs to ensure the ultra-conservatives who get taxpayer funded handouts and dont have to enroll in service are introduced to consequences
What an ungrateful leader Netanyahu is. He should be thanking the US every day.
Israel is majority right wing, it become so off the back of rightwing conspiracy theories about who killed former Prime Minister, Yitzak Rabin.
