As Twitchy recently reported, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tore into New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his "Hamas buddies" in response to Mamdani bragging since this summer that he would have Netanyahu arrested for war crimes if he set foot in New York for the UN General Assembly in September.
It's probably no coincidence that Mamdani decided to plant an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families while Netanyahu was in town.
Last night I planted an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Palestinian families from Gaza.

17 days after the Oct 7 Massacre, while Israel was still sifting through ashes to identify the 1200+ Jews who were raped, kidnapped & murdered, Zohran Mamdani led a pro-Hamas rally calling for the destruction of Israel.

Mamdani doesn't want peace. He wants dead Jews pic.twitter.com/5DR1s1rd1a

Sir, why is Netanyahu not in police custody?

There was no genocide. Why do they get an olive tree?

Shocking you didn’t do this on 10/7.

Just a full on social media manipulator.

Looking forward to your tiktok planting an olive tree at Gracie Mansion with Israeli families on October 7th

Have you invited anyone from the Bibas family, whose babies were strangled to death my Palestinan Arabs and HAMAS? You're a despicable POS. pic.twitter.com/DrNsaZZSud

Did they help you build a tunnel after that?

How many Israeli hostages did they keep in their homes?

Islam has no value in the west. I hope your tree fails to thrive as much as I hope your culture fails to thrive.

I’m a New Yorker and I’m sick of this.

What does this have to do with NYC?

Hey Mamdani, what happened to you jailing Netanyahu? Oh yeah, you could not, you cannot, all you do is perform. You are a lying snake.

Nothing more performative than planting a tree that can’t survive in your climate.

Olive trees only grow in New York if they're planted inside a container and then moved inside during the winter. You probably just killed that tree like you're killing New York.

If you’re buddies would stop killing Jews and anyone else that won’t bend the knee you wouldn’t have to be partaking in such performative nonsense.

Netanyahu described you, your policies and your associates perfectly. I love nature but in this case, hope the tree withers and dies
— Les Scott 🇺🇸 (@LesScott813449) September 24, 2026
So, he didn't think to invite any Jewish families to the event? They'd like peace.
This is as hollow as his 9/11 appearance.
