On the 3rd anniversary of October 7 attacks, Mamdani draws ire as he accuses Israel of genocide and war crimes New York — New York’s mayor marked the third anniversary of Hamas’ October 7 attacks on Israel on Wednesday with a statement that has sparked backlash among some Jewish leaders. In his statement, Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged the “horrific war crimes of October 7” while also accusing Israel of committing war crimes and genocide in Gaza. The mayor was met with boos as he arrived at a vigil in remembrance of October 7 on Wednesday night in Union Square, video from CNN affiliate WABC showed. He is set to attend a meeting with Palestinian New Yorkers following the vigil, according to his public schedule. “This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss,” Mamdani wrote in his statement.

Draws ire from who? Zionists, or actual human beings?

Sure, Israel has committed war crimes and genocide per Geneva and UN definitions. So has HAMAS, Iran, Hezbollah, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, et al.

It’s called having a backbone. For all of the whining and bitching from people about how politicians are bought and have no backbone, observe what that actually looks like and kindly eat shit if you don’t like it.

Accuses? Just look at Israeli social media, they post videos of the crimes.
