Meme - New York Times: "Mayor Zohran Mamdani sought to create a wall between his leadership of New York City and the private views of his wife, Rama Duwaji, after being asked about her social media activity surrounding the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
Mamdami Says His Wife's Views on Gaza Are No One's Business"
Thread by @daniela__127 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "If we want to talk about the social media history of people’s wives, especially how they reacted to Oct 7th, we’re going to have to talk about Zohran Mamdani’s wife 🧵
A few days ago, the NYT ran a smear article on Dan Goldman’s wife’s social media activity post-Oct 7th. Disgruntled Goldman constituents tried to pathologize the normal and common Jewish trauma reaction. The same constituents would likely shrug off Zohran Mamdani’s wife’s cheering of the actual genocidal actions of Hamas, a terrorist organization, and her support of the protests in NYC backed those actions. To his credit, Zohran Mamdani the politician has denounced the Oct 7th attacks. Similarly, Dan Goldman has also explained that his wife does not speak for him. So I guess the two have that in common. The real question is, Will the NYT run the same breathless smear article about Zohran Mamdani and his wife’s social media activity? Or is this type of “journalism” reserved for only those the NYT “reporters” ideologically disagree with? Let’s wait and see!"
Thread by @InnaVernikov on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - ".@nytimes did an entire exposé on the posts and likes of @RepDanGoldman’s wife, forcing Goldman to answer questions about his wife’s social media activity. Our First Lady, Rama Duwaji, who shares a home and a life with our esteemed mayor, literally SUPPORTED HAMAS the day after the October 7 massacre. Will the “paper of record” ask @ZohranKMamdani a single question on this? THEY WON’T. I’ll bet my life’s savings on it. Instead, @nytimes headlines on Duwaji, conveniently focus on her (btw horrendous) fashion style. jewishinsider.com/2026/03/zohran… Here she is. Supporting the narrative that indiscriminate rape & slaughter of innocent women and children is “breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation.”"
Joel M. Petlin on X - "What's infuriating about this story is not the fact that Mayor Mamdani's wife supports the Oct 7th massacre. We obviously knew they both do. What's infuriating is that the NY Times revealed that Congressman Dan Goldman's wife supports Israel, and he was forced to publicly distance from her. We've reached the moral low point where supporting terrorists doesn't disqualify Democrats, but supporting Israel does."
Mamdani Defends Wife Amid Criticism of Her Support for Palestinian Cause - The New York Times - "The mayor said his wife’s views should not be subject to broad public scrutiny... Public officials have faced questions over the political activities or other actions of a spouse or partner, most recently earlier this week. The Times reported that Corinne Levy Goldman, the wife of Representative Daniel Goldman of New York, liked or reposted social media posts from several right-wing accounts that some saw as hateful or insensitive toward Palestinians and Black people."
U.S. Supreme Court justice Alito blames wife for flying flag associated with Trump election deniers - "U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has rejected calls to step aside from cases involving former president Donald Trump and Jan. 6 defendants, saying his wife hoisted controversial flags that flew above two homes. "My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not," Alito wrote Wednesday. In letters to Congress, Alito said his wife, Martha-Ann, was responsible for flying both an upside-down flag over their home in 2021 as well as an "Appeal to Heaven" flag at their New Jersey beach house last year. Both flags were prominent at the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol... Alito explained to the New York Times, which first broke the story about the upside-down flag, that his wife put it up after a heated dispute with anti-Trump neighbours. "As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused"... Alito also noted that the beach property is in his wife's name."
Olivia Reingold on X - "Guys that post was just the tip of the iceberg, I found 70+ radical anti-Israel posts liked by Rama Duwaji, wife of Zohran Mamdani. One calls October 7 a "mass rape hoax.""
Stephen L. Miller on X - "One of the posts was from a go-pro attached live stream that showed Hamas attackers shooting dogs outside of houses after breaking down fences. The NY Times omits this."
Maria Danzilo on X - "Reminder: The NYT made this fair game. The posts she liked are awful and dehumanizing, minimizing and dismissing the atrocities committed against everyone that day : women, children, entire families. There is even one she liked which showed poor defenseless dogs being shot by Hamas terrorists. It’s time to stop pretending."
daniela on X - "The NYT was forced to report on Mamdani’s wife’s social media history and it’s honestly so embarrassing for the NYT that it probably would have been better if they hadn’t reported at all"
Rachel Moiselle on X - "The level of brazen dishonesty here really irks me. To frame liking posts that celebrated a massacre of Jews as ‘care for Palestinians’ is such a grotesque and purposeful misrepresentation of the situation at hand. You can make the case that the spouses of politicians shouldn’t be under such scrutiny, and this case is one I would agree with. But to wilfully lie about the contents of the posts in question - framing them as virtuous as opposed to morally abhorrent - is so despicably dishonest."
Frankly, this is an honest admission of what "pro-Palestine" or "pro-Palestinian" speech really means
The Persian Jewess on X - "Zohran Mamdani’s wife created Goebbels-inspired graphics of Jews for books that accuse Jews of being cockroaches and parasites. But remember, she’s a private person, so you’re not allowed to criticize all the awful despicable things she does."
Zohran Mamdani’s Wife Provided Illustration for Essay by Author Who Called Oct 7 ‘Spectacular’ and Attacked ‘Jewish Supremacist Vampires' - "Rama Duwaji, the first lady of New York City, provided a featured illustration for an essay by an author who called Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, attack "spectacular," has frequently decried what she describes as "Jewish supremacist vampires," and said Jewish Israelis are "rootless soulless ghouls." Duwaji, wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D., N.Y.), provided a drawing for "A Trail of Soap," an essay in the collection Every Moment is a Life compiled by Susan Abulhawa. The essay, published last month in Everything Is Political—an offshoot of self-described "environmental & social justice nonprofit organization" Slow Factory—details a Gazan woman's attempt to find a bathroom in the territory. Abulhawa, an author and anti-Israel activist, has a long history of supporting terror and demonizing Jews. Just days after Oct. 7, she wrote an op-ed in Electronic Intifada in which she called the massacres "a spectacular moment that shocked the world" and insinuated that Israel allowed the attack to happen... Abulhawa has spent the years since Oct. 7 offering thinly veiled attacks against Israelis, "Zionists," and "Jewish supremacists" on social media. She wrote in one December post on X that Israelis are "rootless, soulless ghouls" and in September called Israel a "cultureless, rootless human aberration in the form of a manufactured 'nation,'" adding that "we live in the time of jewish supremacist demons."... Abulhawa described a pro-Israel commentator as a "lying Jewish supremacist cockroach" and bemoaned "Dual loyalty zionists." Abulhawa described Israelis as "demonic parasite[s]" in a November post in which she said "Israel must be dismantled if humanity is going to have any chance at a moral future" and in another post said "we will have our revenge someday" against the "sons of satan." "Jewish supremacists establishing yet more mechanisms and tentacles to control the minds of your children," she warned in October 2025. When the Embassy of Israel condemned Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi for declaring "I am against Judaism," Abulhawa responded that "No one has the right to judge how Palestinians feel or what they say about their colonizers and tormentors." "The whole world is Zionist occupied," she said in February in another post in which she called believers in Jewish self-determination "parasites." There have also been posts about "Jewish supremacist vampires," "Jewish supremacist ghoul[s]," and "rabid demon[s]" in recent months... In other posts, Abulhawa made clear she was not just talking about Israel. "Wherever they are, they will drag their respective countries into war and financial ruin for their own benefit," she wrote in January, just a month before the Duwaji collaboration. "They have a singular loyalty to Jewish supremacy. The ADL and various tentacles of Pax Judaica will swallow us all whole."... Slow Factory has received mainstream acceptance even as it pushes support for terrorism. The nonprofit partnered with Columbia University on educational programming in the past, the Free Beacon reported, and has worked with companies like Adidas and Gucci. Abulhawa has similarly found a warm reception within academia. She organizes the Palestine Writes Literature Festival, which in 2023 was held at the University of Pennsylvania. That event drew scrutiny for featuring openly anti-Semitic speakers like former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters—who claims Jews manipulate U.S. foreign policy and dressed up as a Nazi during a concert in Germany—and Marc Lamont Hill, who was fired from his job at CNN for advocating Israel's destruction."
Of course, everyone knows she really meant "Zionist supremacists", so she's definitely not anti-Semitic
Clearly, this means nothing. But if Jordan Peterson is seen in a photo with a random stranger with an "Islamophboic" t-shirt, he deserves to lose his job and he is "Islamophopbic" too
Eyal Yakoby on X - "BREAKING: It’s been revealed that Zohran Mamdani’s wife has a long history of openly glorying terrorism, including convicted plane hijackers. She also used the n-word frequently on her old account. We warned you consistently about who the Mamdanis actually are."
Mamdani in a bind as snowball-thrower arrested for assaulting police - "A 27-year-old man has been arrested in New York for allegedly assaulting a police officer with a snowball in an incident that has put Zohran Mamdani, the city’s mayor, at odds with his own police force. After a record-breaking winter storm, which saw around 20 inches of snow blanket the city, a large group gathered in a park in downtown Manhattan for a snowball fight on Monday. Videos soon circulated on social media showing police officers being hit with snowballs, which, according to the New York Police Department (NYPD), caused injuries to their heads, necks and faces."
Of course, to left wingers, injuring the police with snowballs is harmless, but Ilhan Omar being squirted with apple cider vinegar is a horrific hate crime
Meme - Tali Goldsheft @TaliGoldsheft: "So are "cruel" budget cuts to libraries suddenly no longer cruel when they come from you, @ZohranKMamdani?"
Zohran Kwame Mamdani: "In one breath, Mayor Adams tells NYers that such cruel budget cuts to libraries, sanitation, and parks are necessary fiscal measures. And in another, he offers to restore funding to some of those very cuts in exchange for shielding the NYPD from accountability. Ridiculous."

Maud Maron on X - "lol. Month two and he is being called “racist.” The radical left reaps what it sows. The truth is the Mayor is the landlord of NYCHA and does not want to hear from his own tenants. He wants to wag his socialist finger at “bad” landlords without having a real policy discussion about what his proposed tax hikes, and his “I hate white people” advisor Cea Weaver’s vacancy decontrol laws, do to many landlords that can’t charge enough to cover the rising expenses they incur to own, maintain, and improve their properties while paying increasing taxes. The people who voted for him are in for a rough ride. The rest of us get to say “I told you so” but there’s no joy in it. Our city has the revenue and resources to flourish. What we are missing is a competent political class capable of managing the budget, and grappling with the genuine trade-offs of any policy decision. We need a competitive two party system to offer a robust debate on the ideas and policies that shape our city. The slow, and now fast, drift to socialist fear mongering and shitty policies is going to continue to be very bad for our economy and our quality of life. No surprises here."

Thread by @LevineJonathan on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "NEW from me. On Oct 9, 2023 — two days after Hamas' Oct 7 massacre in Israel — the Muslim Democratic Club of New York put out a statement blaming Israel for the attack, saying they stood "in solidarity with the besieged Palestinian people" Today, the founders of this group occupy top posts in City Hall under NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani
The Muslim Democratic Club of New York was founded by Ali Najmi, Faiza Ali, Aliya Latif and Linda Sarsour. As of today:
Faiza Ali — Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs
Aliya Latif — Executive Director of the Mayor's Office of Faith-Based Partnerships
Ali Najmi — leading the mayor's Advisory Committee on the Judiciary
All of these individuals view Linda Sarsour as a mentor. Aliya Latif has described Sarsour as her "right hand," "sister," and "seeker-mother" in posts on X. Faiza Ali spent years working at the Council on American Islamic Relations. During Ali's time with CAIR, she was a vocal supporter of the proposed "Ground Zero Mosque" two blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center. Ali dismissed critics of the project as un-American and said opposition to building a mosque so close to the location of the Sept. 11 attacks "reveal[ed] a new wave of anti-Muslim sentiment." She also represented CAIR at a 2010 press conference promoting the project."

Eyal Yakoby on X "Mahmoud Khalil last year: “We are fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization.” Tonight, is invited to the NYC Mayor’s mansion to eat with Zohran Mamdani. Wake up—do you not see what’s happening?"
Bernard Stanford ✡︎ on X - "There are two positions from which one can approach the Mahmoud Khalil situation. One is the civil liberties perspective, being concerned in a content-neutral way about free speech and due process. But Mamdani is the other—supportive of Khalil *because* of his particular views. And they are TERRIBLE views. Khalil was a student leader of an organization, the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, that unabashedly cheerleads and embraces Hamas' most violent acts. They referred to October 7th as a "heroic struggle." They published "A Tribute to Yahya Shinwar." They support "liberation by any means necessary, including armed resistance." October 7th was when Hamas, led by Shinwar, entered Israel and murdered as many unarmed civilians as they could find, face-to-face, with small arms. Khalil himself supports "armed resistance" and justifies or downplays Palestinian violence. He has forcefully defended calls to "Globalize the Intifada," and minimized that the Second Intifada was itself largely a campaign of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. Offering the most milquetoast denunciation of killing civilians in an interview, he immediately pivoted to justifying 10/7. After all, Palestinians, in his words, need not be "perfect victims." But we have many reasons to believe Mamdani shares all these views. As a longtime activist who has accused Israel of being responsible for NYPD police violence, as himself a defender of the "Globalize the Intifada" phrase. As the husband of a woman who liked posts celebrating 10/7 on social media as it was happening. And now Mamdani hosts Khalil, not simply to defend his rights but to affirm, casually, the "genocide" slander again the Jewish State—it is simply deplorable, and unacceptable for the Mayor of New York."
Simone Rodan-Benzaquen on X - "The post is disgraceful and yet so entirely unsurprising. Mamdani describes Khalil as a victim of “cruelty” who was punished merely for exercising his First Amendment rights while protesting what he calls the “ongoing genocide in Palestine.” What Mamdani does not mention is who Mahmoud Khalil actually is — and what he has actually said. Khalil has publicly defended “armed resistance,” saying: “We’ve tried armed resistance, which is legitimate under international law, but Israel calls it terrorism.” He justified the October 7 attack as something that “had to happen” to “break the cycle,” even suggesting it was tied to the prospect of a Saudi-Israel normalization deal. This is the man Mamdani chose to honor at Gracie Mansion. And he did so while repeating the blood libel that Israel is committing an “ongoing genocide.” Think about that for a moment. The mayor of New York — home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel — is hosting a man who rationalizes the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, while accusing the Jewish state of genocide. None of this should surprise anyone who has followed Mamdani’s political trajectory. He emerged from the SJP ecosystem and the activist networks that helped normalize slogans like “globalize the intifada” on American campuses. And the ideological environment around him has already shown sympathy for the atrocities of October 7 — his own wife had liked social media posts celebrating the attacks and denying the sexual violence committed that day. So no, this post is not shocking. What is shocking is that someone who speaks this language now represents power in New York City."
New York Post on X - "Mamdani claims he was defending free speech by hosting divisive Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion"
Councilwoman Vickie Paladino on X - "Such an interesting thing to say. So let’s recap. When hosting a Hamas-supporting foreigner on a revoked visa, it’s all about the first amendment. When an elected city council member speaks out against radical Islam and its impact on our country, the first amendment doesn’t apply and it’s an ethics committee investigation and a charge of harassment for Islamophobia. That’s how things go in New York under this administration."
Jim Walden on X - "Can someone tell me how the media isn’t covering the hypocrisy here? For the first time, the City Council wants to censure or expel a duly elected Council Member for private speech, which was directed only to people who chose to follow her on her personal social media account? But, Khalil’s hateful and violent speech, which made New York Jews feel unsafe—and clearly impacted hate crimes—well, that is A-Ok? What happened to the press defending the First Amendment? Help me understand! Mr. Mayor, @NYCMayor , urge City Council to drop this bogus charge against Council Member Paladino—based on the same principles you said you were advancing by dining with Khalil in the aftermath of the terrorist attack!"

Izengabe on X - "There was a HUGE spike in hate crimes committed against Jews during Zohran Mamdani's 1st month in office. So to hide the spike in antisemitic crime Mamdani had the NYPD change the way it counts hate crimes to lower the reported number & make comparisons to previous years harder."
Wall Street Mav on X - "🚨NYC Mayor socialist Zohran Mamdani has proposed lowering the exemption on the death tax (estate tax) from $7.1 million down to only $750,000. He would also increase the death tax from 16% to 50%. No other jurisdiction in the USA confiscates wealth at death from people with that small of an estate. Anyone with any equity in a home in NYC would likely exceed the $750,000 and have to pay the death tax. There is a federal estate tax (death) for estate wealth that exceeds $15 million (individuals). However, you can deduct other state and city estate taxes before paying the federal estate tax. So effectively, Mamdani is preventing the federal govt from taxing estates, NYC and NY State are taking it all first. Follow: @WallStreetMav"
