New York — New York’s mayor marked the third anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 attacks on Israel on Wednesday with a statement that has sparked backlash among some Jewish leaders.
In his statement, Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged the “horrific war crimes of October 7” while also accusing Israel of committing war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
The mayor was met with boos as he arrived at a vigil in remembrance of October 7 on Wednesday night in Union Square, video from CNN affiliate WABC showed. He is set to attend a meeting with Palestinian New Yorkers following the vigil, according to his public schedule.
“This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss,” Mamdani wrote in his statement.
Oh dear.
You shouldn’t discuss the Middle East without doing some serious reading. Even Iran admits they commit genocide. It’s like their motto.
Who has Iran admitted to genociding? Why do you just make up shit like this without evidence while pretending you’ve read anything “serious”? No one’s fooled by your midwittery.
Again: what the fuck are you people smoking, lmao?
Exactly, almost every country in the list is guilty of genocide. I don’t know much about Hezbollah, but only someone born yesterday would think Iran is innocent. Like hell literally few months ago Iran was massacring it’s own citizens, and that news somehow flew off his radar? Also has this guy never heard of Saddam Hussain?
If you don’t even know what the term “genocide” means, then don’t vomit up nonsense about it.
Their own citizens who the mossad admitted were mossad agents on the ground, lol? What kind of radar do you have where you missed that one?
