New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been lambasted following his tone-deaf post on the third anniversary of the October 7 attack. On Wednesday, Mamdani commemorated the tragedy that saw 1,200 Israelis killed and 251 others abducted by Hamas. The mayor labelled Hamas’ attack as “horrific” and honoured the victims and their families. Mamdani then dedicated several more paragraphs to slamming Israel’s actions against the Palestinian people and the “ongoing genocide in Gaza”. Several social media users widely criticised the mayor’s post, calling it “despicable”.
