"The mayor is busy inciting against and promoting a boycott of the Jewish state. His method is the 'well-known' antisemitic one: 'No matter what, blame the Jews.' This is exactly the same method that was used a century ago by the Third Reich."

Why It’s Conflation

The thing Akunis points to is a boycott of a state. He calls that blaming the Jews and compares it to Nazi Germany.

New York’s mayor supports boycotting Israel.
