Netanyahu's Party Targets Mamdani In Tel Aviv Billboard

Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party has put Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, on a campaign billboard in central Tel Aviv, drawing comparisons with leaders of Iran and Hezbollah.

The poster shows Mamdani alongside Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, and Naim Qassem, described as Hezbollah’s chief. Beneath the images, a message says: “They want Netanyahu to lose … Don’t let them win,” alongside Likud’s logo.

Campaign Spur After Knesset Dissolution

Netanyahu has stepped up his election campaigning as Israel prepares to vote in October after the Knesset, parliament, was dissolved in July. The elections will be the first since the Hamas-led attacks of 7 October 2023.

The billboard is the latest move in a growing dispute between Netanyahu and Mamdani, who has been an outspoken critic of Israel’s war in Gaza since launching his mayoral campaign.

Dispute Over Gaza Comments And Arrest Call

The verbal fight between the two intensified last month after Mamdani accused Netanyahu of being a “war criminal” and said he “belonged in The Hague”.

Mamdani also urged US authorities to ensure the International Criminal Court warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest is carried out if he attends the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September.

Netanyahu responded by accusing Mamdani of “fomenting hate” and of encouraging divisions between different religious communities in New York. He also said he was concerned that progressive Democrats aligned with Mamdani could put at risk the once-bipartisan level of political support for Israel in the United States.

Recent polling in the US cited in the report indicates that Mamdani is more popular among American Jews than Netanyahu.

UK Remarks And Ongoing Gaza Talks

The latest attack on Mamdani comes after Netanyahu described the UK as “the Islamic republic of Britain” during a podcast interview earlier this week. In the same conversation, he also referred to Britain as the “first Islamic republic to get a nuclear weapon”.

Netanyahu posted the billboard image on his social media accounts on Sunday and shared a video featuring Mamdani’s remarks about him being a war criminal.

The feud is unfolding as US-Israeli talks on a Gaza ceasefire agreement are said to be stalling. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and an envoy, met Netanyahu on Monday for about three hours, but no breakthrough was reported. Israel, the report says, is refusing to withdraw troops from the strip unless Hamas agrees to disarm first.

Mamdani has not publicly responded to being included in Netanyahu’s election campaign materials.

The Jews that gleefully commit such atrocities don't belong in this world.

0.2% the world wouldn't miss, and would be better off without. 🙂

You're clearly one of the too bad Hitler didn't finish the job brigade.

The thin-skinned, ultra sensitive, snowflake victims in Israel just can't handle any criticism whatsoever. The real question is, is it really a democracy when there's no freedom of the press?

Humanity and the world would be better off if he held back on going for Stalingrad, in all likeliness, sure. 🙂

One Israeli Jew on the web board that has Evil in his handle was actively trying to hunt down the names and locations of local establishments that have No Israeli signs out front. Perhaps to commit terror attacks against them.

In which country?

A video popped in my feed where an Israeli took down a "Free Palestine" sign in a restaurant. Not sure where.

Found it. It was in Iceland.

Fortunately, it did not escalate into violence.

No they did not close major newspapers, but all of them are highly censored at this point and the editor's face intense repercussions for publishing critical articles.

Two years into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, press freedom inside the country has reached a breaking point. Journalists report escalating censorship, harassment, and self-censorship that, they say, now functions as “part of the war effort.”

Independent reporting has sharply declined, leaving the Israeli public with a distorted view of the conflict. An October 2025 report by the Israeli think tank Molad found that only 3% of Channel 12’s coverage in the first six months of the war referenced the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and only two of 206 war-related visuals showed Palestinian civilian casualties.

“The Israeli media decided, and decides anew every day, that we will not report on the humanitarian situation,” Haaretz reporter Nir Hasson told CPJ. “The Israeli media is part of the war effort.”

Thankfully, in this modern day and age, the evil that is Israel cannot hide every atrocity it commits.

The behavior of their traveling scum can be seen worldwide.

Everyday losing more friends, losing more support, getting closer to their own self destruction, with no one bothering to help them.

Yup. Not too smart to be posting some of the things people here do. I guess some still think we still live in the good old days of privacy when we are actually in a full surveillance state now worldwide. This includes the internet now. Unless you're a geek that understands opsec, dont know why anyone feels comfortable saying whatever they want even on a forum that has a couple thousand people. Whatever you post will be here as long as the servers stay up

Isn't it strange that the MAGA's suddenly all are hardcore Jew/Israeli defenders (lovers), but at the same time they hate every other religion or nationality on planet earth?

If there ever was any evidence of brainwashing in a cult, then this is the prime example.

Not really, The Venn diagram will have a huge overlap between Evangelists and MAGA supporter. Many evangelical Christians believe that the modern state of Israel and the return of Jewish people to their ancestral homeland fulfil biblical end-times prophecies. This viewpoint, often rooted in a theological framework called dispensationalism, links key geopolitical events in the Middle East to the second coming of Jesus Christ and the final judgement. We're supposed to be now in the time of tribulation, and some of them will be cheering on the Nukes. For them, it just means the Rapture is imminent. Listen the to language Mike Huckabee, who still looks strange with a beard, the US Ambassador to Israel, how he describes the occupied territories. He uses biblical terminology all the time.

They don't have a love of the Jewish people, revealed by this interview with a Pastor:

https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/will-every-jew-be-saved

They are pro-Zionism, in so much this was predicted in the Bible, but they basically believe that Jewish people killed Jesus. Israel is viewed as a as a theological instrument rather than a Jewish homeland

Some forms of dispensationalist Christianity anticipate dramatic end-times events involving Israel and the Jewish people, followed by mass conversion to Christianity. Thus, enthusiastic support for Israel can coexist with a belief that Jews will eventually cease being religiously Jewish. In the most extreme formulations, Jews become characters in an essentially Christian eschatological story.

Well known evangelists are often nakedly antisemitic. In 1979, Jerry Falwell came up with the line "Jews make more money accidentally than you can on purpose.". In 199, he decided the Antichrist was going to be a Jew, because he had to look like Jesus. Pat Robertson was another, on the one hand claiming to be a friend of Israel, while at the same pushing Jewish conspiracy theories.

This article:

https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/VA-Pilot/issues/1995/vp950503/05030003.htm

So someone can be profoundly anti-Jewish, but pro-Israel.

Then you get to someone more recent John Hagee. Hagee is head of "Christians United for Israel". Whilst professing to be anti-semitic, he's come with to real corkers over the years:

  • Hitler was used by God to help bring Jews to Israel.

  • Jews' historical persecution was connected to their disobedience to God.

  • The Antichrist would be partly Jewish.

Now, obviously not every Evangelist or Southern Baptist is an anti-semite; the vast majority are thoroughly decent people, even if they foolishly believe in a sky fairy. But theologically, most would lump the Jews with Mormons, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, who are all condemned to die in the flames of hell unless they convert. Some, maybe many, would add Roman Catholics ("the Papists!") to the unbelievers.
