NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today signed two executive orders that will ensure city agencies continue to make sound financial decisions that protect taxpayer dollars and that protect New Yorkers’ right to practice their religion at houses of worship without harassment, while protecting freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.
Executive Order No. 60 prohibits mayoral agency heads, agency chief contracting officers, and any other mayoral appointees with discretion over contracting from engaging in procurement practices that discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel.
The executive order also prohibits the chief pension administrator and mayoral trustees to the city pension system from opposing divestment from bonds and other assets that would discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel.

As long as it's actually undone once he gets in office

And that will be a headline Zionists can point to claiming he's antisemitic.

[Disclaimer: I'm not Jewish] This seems more antisemite than boycotting Israel does, because this (IMHO taking into account the disclaimer) seems like someone that can't separate a government from a people, or basically "everything Jewish is the same". Similar to how many in government can't separate being Muslim, or Arab, from [insert US declared "terrorist country"].

Zionism is literally antisemitic, so that tracks.

I think the state of Israel itself has become similar to a false prophet warned about in all Abrahamic religions

"I'm not boycotting Israeli companies, but their offerings just don't fit our business requirements at the moment."
You know, like how employers legally reject you based on ethnicity/gender/etc without saying so. Use that right back at them.

This is just setting up the headline that Mamdani repealed it

He knows it won’t hold up legally, but he’s been on a Zionism tour to set up his incoming bribes, and likely fleeing to Israel to avoid more corruption charges. Proclaiming his loyalty to his masters.

So can we start to protect the support of all states as a form of religious expression?
North Korea? Iran? Venezuela? Russia? Cuba? Palestine? Ukraine? China? Taiwan? Saudi Arabia?
Heck, what about Hong Kong?
Shit doesn't make any sense at all.
