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.
You sure NONE of these countries have committed genocide? I see Iran and Saudi in that list too.
Saudi Arabia, sure. It’s a popular pass time for America and it’s allies. Iran? Tell me more.

Again: what the fuck are you people smoking, lmao?
Who has Iran admitted to genociding? Why do you just make up shit like this without evidence while pretending you’ve read anything “serious”? No one’s fooled by your midwittery.
Exactly, almost every country in the list is guilty of genocide. I don’t know much about Hezbollah, but only someone born yesterday would think Iran is innocent. Like hell literally few months ago Iran was massacring it’s own citizens, and that news somehow flew off his radar? Also has this guy never heard of Saddam Hussain?
The usa is killing citizens too and kidnap people based on the skin color then send many to other autocratic countries like el salvador where they are tortured and also killed .
Which reputable human right and international law organization prove iran is comiting a genocide?
Their own citizens who the mossad admitted were mossad agents on the ground, lol? What kind of radar do you have where you missed that one?
If you don’t even know what the term “genocide” means, then don’t vomit up nonsense about it.
