New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was able to overcome his history of anti-Israel sentiment to take up residence in Gracie Mansion, but Gotham residents just got a reminder that contempt for the Jewish nation runs deep in his family.
Newly unearthed social media activity from Hizzoner’s wife, Rama Duwaji, shows her allegedly liking posts that celebrated the October 7, 2023, sneak attack on Israeli civilian areas by the Hamas terror organization that resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 people, some of them slaughtered in their own homes and others taken hostage.
According to Jewish Insider, which published the posts, the new mayor’s better half “unambiguously celebrated the terrorist attack” and liked one post that was dated on the day of the attack, which described the massacre as “resistance” against Israel.
The caption for the image of a bulldozer plowing through a fence read “Breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation,” with a longer comment stating “if and when the occupation forces retaliate against this resistance,” the people living in Gaza would be “punished for wanting freedom from apartheid.”

“The posts liked by Rama Duwaji, a Syrian American artist, unambiguously celebrated the terrorist attack, which saw nearly 1,200 Israelis and foreign workers killed, thousands wounded, 251 people kidnapped and numerous episodes of sexual assault,” according to Jewish Insider.
“The first post, shared on the day of Hamas’ onslaught, came from The Slow Factory, which bills itself as “a school, knowledge partner and climate innovation organization” that “center[s] the voices and ideas of the Global Majority (Black, Indigenous, and other people of color) to share their knowledge outside the boundaries of institutions & oppressive systems,” the outlet reported.
Jewish Insider also featured another post liked by Duwaji that “shows stills from participants’ livestreamed footage of the attack: first of a bulldozer that terrorists used to breach the barrier separating Israel from Gaza, the second of attackers riding on a captured IDF vehicle. Printed on the former are the words ‘Breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation,’ and on the latter ‘Resisting apartheid since 1948,’ and on both the slogan ‘Systemic change for collective liberation.'”

Mrs. Mamdani’s ill-advised posting of her approval for terrorist butchery sparked outrage from X users.
Why is this is a story? Of course Mamdani’s wife celebrated the Oct 7th attack. The Mamdani’s haven’t hid who they are at all. They are Terrorist sympathizing communists. They wear it loud and proud. Anybody who paid an ounce of attention knew that going in and he still won.… https://t.co/3q3gIlqO5r

Other users noted that Mamdani’s father is also sympathetic to terrorists.
He agrees with her, btw – Mamdani refuses to condemn Islamic terrorist organizations and their barbarity. And a reminder that his father – a professor at Columbia -which was ground zero for the pro-Hamas riots, thinks suicide bombings should be legitimized. https://t.co/gIMTAHfcOu pic.twitter.com/ySYlwdYav8

The Ugandan-born socialist insisted that his spouse is a private person.
🚨 Zohran Mamdani responds after posts surface showing his wife liked content celebrating the October 7 attacks, saying:
“My wife is the love of my life… she’s a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my city hall.”pic.twitter.com/bxyfJa02xL

“My wife is the love of my life and she’s also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall. I however was elected to represent all eight and a half million people in the city and I believe that it’s my responsibility because of that role to answer any questions about my thoughts and my policies and my decisions,” Mamdani said at an unrelated press conference, according to NBC New York.
During his campaign, Mamdani was repeatedly put on the spot over his reluctance to unequivocally condemn the slogan “From the river to the sea,” which is a rallying cry for the genocide of the Israeli people.
