Mamdani calls out Israel's 'genocide' in Gaza on anniversary of Oct. 7 attack
- On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a statement marking the third anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks, condemning "horrific war crimes" while accusing the Israeli government of an "ongoing genocide" in Gaza.
- Mamdani's statement, which also criticized U.S. arms shipments and invoked "apartheid," reflects a consistent pattern of anti-Zionist rhetoric that has strained his relationship with New York City's Jewish community, the largest in the United States.
- The Anti-Defamation League condemned the statement, accusing Mamdani of "weaponizing a day meant for mourning" and failing to center Jewish victims' suffering. The ADL stated, "The city with the largest Jewish population outside Israel deserves a mayor who can honor the dead without exploiting them."
- Israeli U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon rebuked the statement, posting on X that it was "like turning September 11 into a day of mourning for al-Qaeda terrorists" and characterizing the mayor's message as propaganda against Israel.
- Mamdani is scheduled to attend a city vigil for Oct. 7 victims Wednesday evening, followed immediately by a closed-door meeting with Palestinian New Yorkers, reflecting the competing political pressures on his administration.
