This article can be challenged with New York Post's editorial-standards team.

  • Amend the headline to remove the editorial characterisation 'tone-deaf' and the framing of the mayor's statement as an 'attack,' replacing it with a neutral description. A faithful example: 'NYC Mayor Mamdani marks Oct. 7 anniversary with post citing ongoing genocide in Gaza.'
  • Update the article to include a response from Mayor Mamdani or his office to the specific allegations made by Ambassador Danon, including the characterisation of him as 'dangerous and sophisticated,' or add a clear editorial note explaining that no response was sought or received.

Mamdani's tone-deaf Oct. 7 post attacks Israel for 'ongoing genocide,' sparks outrage

Mayor Zohran Mamdani sparked outrage Wednesday by using the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 slaughter of Israelis to instead attack the Jewish state of “war crimes” in an “ongoing genocide.” Hizzoner dedicated less than a quarter of his statement to the “unthinkable loss” suffered when “Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others” — with the vast majority instead devoted to his ongoing attacks on Israel. 3 Naama Levy is taken hostage, Oct. 7, 2023.

William Farrington for The NY Post “The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza,” he said, decrying the Palestinians killed in response to the Hamas attack being marked Wednesday. “That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist , and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing.

The biased statement by the mayor — already widely criticized for making Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe with his ongoing attacks on Israel — was quickly met with horror. “What he is trying to do is hijack the only day we have for the victims and survivors. He’s trying to hijack the day to talk about attacking Israel,” Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon told The Post: 3 Blood is seen splattered in a child’s room following a massive Hamas militant attack in Kibbutz Nir Oz, Israel. AP “It’s like on 9/11 you talked about victims and al-Qaeda terrorists. It’s basically taking the only day we have for victims and trying to attack Israel with propaganda. He’s dangerous and sophisticated. He will go to both ceremonies and try to say he feels for both losses of life.” Mesneshe Shapiro, a former adviser to Mamdani’s predecessor, former Mayor Eric Adams, called the statement “incitement and electronic violence against New York’s Jews.” “He doesn’t get to hide behind Hamas’ made-up stats to justify his open Jew-hatred.”
