Mamdani’s wife liked posts celebrating Oct. 7

The wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Rama Duwaji, liked social media posts celebrating the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, Jewish Insider reports.

Duwaji liked a post on Instagram that showed photos of Palestinians breaching Israel’s borders and said the invasion was “breaking the walls of apartheid.”

Another post she liked showed Palestinians sitting on a captured IDF vehicle alongside the caption, “Resisting apartheid since 1948.”

Those posts were shared on the day of the Hamas attack.

Duwaji also liked two posts supporting protests against Israel the day after the attack.

There is no immediate comment from Duwaji or Mamdani. The two became a couple in 2021 and married last year.

Earlier this week, The New York Times reported that the wife of US Rep. Dan Goldman, who is Jewish, liked social media posts immediately after Oct. 7 that criticized Jews who supported the Palestinians, suggested people supporting the Palestinians be sent to Gaza, and called Black Lives Matter a “terrorist organization” because one of its chapters celebrated the Hamas onslaught.

New York City councilmember Inna Vernikov, a Jewish Republican, criticizes The New York Times report, saying, “Will the ‘paper of record’ ask [Mamdani] a single question on this? THEY WON’T.”
