A socialist California mayor with a history of posting antisemitic conspiracy theories was let off the hook Tuesday as his City Council pals voted not to censure him despite widespread outrage.

Richmond Mayor Eduardo Martinez – a member of the ultra-left Democratic Socialists of America – got off without a reprimand in a 5-2 censure vote weeks after he shared vile posts claiming the Bondi Beach terrorist attack was a “false flag” operation and blamed Israel for antisemitism.

“The vote was not about censuring; it was about the process by which the agenda item was brought forth,” Martinez told the Post.

“The issue over the Bondi Beach is not about any statements I made. What I wrote with the reposting of an article about the Bondi Beach incident was: ‘What do you think about this?’,” he continued. “The issue is about my posting it being conflated to my believing it and “amplifying “ it.”

Several council members said since they didn’t have time to review the resolution in advance – which set off those who pushed the censure.

“To say that you didn’t have an opportunity to read a resolution does not negate the fact that we have a responsibility as a council to answer to the community,” Councilmember Jamelia Brown, the co-author of the motion said.

“If you have a pulse and you’re in the city of Richmond, then you know what’s transpired,” Brown added. “You know what’s going on.”

The resolution is back on the agenda for the Jan. 20 meeting.

Jeremy Russell, director of communications for the Jewish Community Relations Council, said the mayor should resign — but until he does the council should hold him accountable.

“Antisemitism has no place in our city,” Russell told The Post.

Despite the members voting down the motion, at least 100 residents voiced their opposition and frustration at the lack of accountability for the mayor.

There were also anti-Israel activists who showed support for the mayor, in a split and tense Bay Area city council meeting.

“Complaining about feelings over a repost is white supremacy,” one speaker said, according to a X post.

Martinez’s questionable posts included sharing an image of the Star of David on LinkedIn alongside the caption, “The root cause of antisemitism is the behavior of Israel & Israelis.

The mayor, who is up for reelection this year, took down his posts and apologized on social media.

“I want to apologize for sharing my previous posts without thinking,” he posted. “Of course we know that antisemitism was here before the creation of the state of Israel. As I’ve said many times before, we should not conflate Zionism with Judaism. They are two separate beliefs.”
