‘Traitor’ and ‘Sellout’: Anti-Israel Protesters Turn on Mamdani at NYC Oct. 7 Vigil
Pro-Palestinian marchers disrupted the candlelight memorial as it drew a larger crowd than organizers expected, delaying the vigil for several minutes, officials said.
- On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced boos and chants of "traitor" from pro-Palestinian protesters who disrupted an "Israelis for Peace" candlelight vigil in Union Square marking the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks.
- Mamdani's statement released Wednesday morning described Israel's military campaign in Gaza as an "ongoing genocide," drawing sharp criticism from Jewish advocates and Israeli officials who accused him of politicizing the anniversary.
- Protesters marched from an earlier City Hall demonstration involving about 125 people, chanting "Long live Hamas" and "Death to the IDF" while accusing Mamdani of betraying the Palestinian cause.
- Organizers continued the vigil inside a tight police cordon despite the chaos, while Mamdani remained expressionless throughout the ceremony standing alongside former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander.
- The confrontation underscores deep divisions surrounding Mamdani's position on Gaza, with Jewish advocates accusing him of hostility toward Israel while pro-Palestinian activists claim he has abandoned their cause.
