Good morning I'm Zoran Mamdani and my wife celebrated the mass murdering of Jews on 7th October 2023 , I'm a Muslim brotherhood representative and I'm here to make NY a regressive cesspool with my death cult mentality and inverse Truth statements of course I assume you as stupid as I am , O by the way FREE PALISTINE and remember Hamas and my other terrorist mates are the good guys according to me

**Rama Duwaji (wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani) liked multiple Instagram posts in the immediate aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks that framed the assault positively as “resistance,” “breaking the walls of apartheid,” or similar language.** The attacks killed roughly 1,200 people (mostly Israeli civilians and foreign workers, predominantly Jews), involved widespread sexual violence, and led to hundreds taken hostage.

Key reported details from contemporaneous coverage (primarily Jewish Insider, The Free Press, Times of Israel, NY Post, and others):

- On the day of the attack (Oct. 7), she liked posts showing images of the border breach / Palestinians entering Israel and captions such as “Breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation,” and another depicting people on a captured IDF vehicle with “Resisting apartheid since 1948.” These were characterized by reporting as unambiguous celebration of the assault rather than generic criticism of Israel.

- She liked additional posts the next day supporting anti-Israel protests.

- In February 2024 she liked an Instagram post describing *The New York Times* reporting on sexual violence/rapes during the Oct. 7 attacks as a “mass rape” hoax that was “fabricated.”

- Broader reporting noted she liked dozens of strongly anti-Israel posts in the period after the attack (including language accusing Israel of genocide or a “vile land grab,” Holocaust inversion references in some cases, and support for related protests).

Older social media activity (from when she was a teenager/early 20s, on accounts linked via facial recognition and other details by outlets such as the Washington Free Beacon) included praise for PFLP terrorist Leila Khaled (involved in plane hijackings), statements that Tel Aviv “shouldn’t exist,” and other inflammatory content. She later apologized for some of the teenage posts involving racial and other slurs, saying she felt shame and that being 15 did not excuse the language.

Mamdani has publicly described her as “the love of my life” and “a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall,” declining to engage further on the likes. Duwaji herself has largely remained silent on the Oct. 7 material in available reporting. Mainstream coverage varied in tone and emphasis; some outlets framed the likes more mildly as support for the “Palestinian cause,” while others (and pro-Israel groups) described them as celebration of the deadliest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.

These are documented social-media engagements reported across multiple outlets in early 2026 after Mamdani became mayor. Liking a post is not the same as authoring it, but the content and timing of the specific posts she engaged with are what generated the controversy.
