Zohran Mamdani Criticizes Hamas, Israel and the US in Statement Marking October 7 Attack

Zohran Mamdani calls US complicit in a genocidal war, endorses Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, and labels Israel an apartheid state, facing backlash from New York's Jewish community.

  • On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani, New York City Democratic mayoral nominee, issued a statement on the second anniversary of the October 7 attacks, mourning lives lost and criticizing U.S. and Israeli responses.
  • His past statements show Mamdani cofounded a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, endorsed the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, and described Israel as an apartheid state.
  • New York City's demographics matter because it hosts the largest Jewish population outside Israel and sizable Arab communities, while reports cite 1,200 killed and 251 taken hostage.
  • Online critics reacted with calls to denaturalize and deport Mamdani, while commentators argued his rejection of Israel as a Jewish state 'smacks of antisemitism' and affronts Oct. 7 victims.
  • As the mayoral race unfolds, Israel's war in Gaza has become a flashpoint, affecting Jewish and Arab voters in New York City amid protests both for and against Israel.
