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.

    My conspiracy hat thinks that he is a puppet and already planned to “save” America after Trump’s done being used for the cias (or 5 eyes) agenda. He’s the good cop, Trump’s the bad cop, but in the grand scheme they are both working on the same goal, which they probably don’t even know about because intelligence agencies globally own the paths of nations and are the ones running the business.

    Our freedom and democracy is a manipulated illusion.

      Newsom is the good cop, if we’re looking for a figure who says he’s against trump but is deeply wedded to the very same plans the rich have for this dying empire.

      Also your conspiracy hat gives the cia too much credit - they’re not compitent enough to be in charge. An ever-shifting alliance of whichever rich people are most powerful from week to week is who’s in charge.

      Have you ever met a large group of people that can keep even the smallest secret? Imagine a global network of puppet masters that nobody knows about, not even the puppets, and tell me that that shit doesn’t spill out very publicly.

      This is an insane and unjustifiable conspiracy theory. It’s more likely that 9/11 was an inside job, and it wasn’t.
