However, clips from his interview with Uncivilized Media were shared as collaborative posts on Instagram, meaning they appeared on both Mamdani's account and the outlet's account.The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other experts on online antisemitism say that Uncivilized Media has produced content accusing Jews and Israelis of seeking global domination, being inherently colonialist and controlling the media, among other conspiracy theories.
