Overview
- Jewish Insider reported that Rama Duwaji, wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, liked multiple Instagram posts that celebrated Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, assault.
- One liked post from The Slow Factory featured images of the attack with text such as “Breaking the walls of apartheid” and “Resisting apartheid since 1948.”
- Other liked posts came from The People’s Forum tied to Times Square protests, including slogans like “from the river to the sea” and messaging that framed “resistance” as justified.
- It remains unclear when the likes were made, Duwaji did not respond to requests for comment, and at least one outlet observed that the posts no longer appeared liked after the report.
- City Hall said Mamdani has consistently condemned Hamas and the Oct. 7 attack, and the mayor told reporters his wife is a private person with no formal role who does not speak for him.
