Zohran Mamdani’s wife liked social media posts celebrating Oct. 7 attacks

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spent the mayoral campaign distancing himself from the most radical anti-Israel elements of his leftist movement, but an examination of his wife’s social media activity reveals she liked multiple Instagram posts cheering on Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, assault.

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 civilians and military personnel kidnapped and numerous episodes of sexual assault.

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 Instagram post 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.’

The extensive caption on the post laments that ‘if and when the occupation forces retaliate against this resistance’ Gazans will be ‘punished for wanting freedom from apartheid.’..."
