Remember when there were still Israeli infants being kept hostage in Hamas tunnels and the pro-Palestinians began insisting it was the same as teenagers held in Israeli prison for literally stabbing Jews?
If you can’t unequivocally condemn the October 7 massacres and the Hamas terrorists who committed them without excuses or reservations, there is something fundamentally wrong with you.
@CaitlinPacific Then he spends the rest of the statement blaming the Jewish victims for their own suffering and hysterically libeling Israel. He's awful as is this statement.
Desecrating the memory of murdered, innocent Jews today of all days and refusing to even condemn Hamas is obscene. There are 364 other days you can wrongly criticize Israel for defending herself. If you had respect for the dead, you'd just acknowledge the tragedy, but you don’t.
It’s perverse that the same people who were jubilant on October 7 now implicitly demand that this day be stolen from its victims and turned into a day of mourning for Palestinians who died at least weeks, months, and years later in a war catalyzed by the terrorist attack they celebrated.
Mamdani’s October 7 statement is repulsive, morally twisted, and clearly calculated to cause pain to the Jewish community on a day of collective mourning.
What a vile, vile individual.
Mamdani is a vile piece of shit. And if you can't see past his forced permasmile to discern what kind of man he is, then your judgement is severely broken. He is sinister. Fuck him.
October 7th changed me forever, and I am not alone.
Seeing people I thought were my friends root for the barbarians that kidnapped, raped, and gleefully slaughtered Jews woke me up.
A Democratic party that cheerleads the theocratic gangsters that subjugate women, execute LGBT people and seeks to die to usher in a glorious worldwide caliphate is a Democratic party that is not thinking clearly enough to lead this country.
Even on the anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, he can't stop himself from making a modern-day blood libel against Jews. Just a terrible and dishonest person
My heart goes out to the people of Israel who experienced a heinous act of evil and terrorism on this day three years ago.
I reaffirm that Israel has a right to exist and defend itself from those who wish to seek its destruction.
#Neverforget#Neverforgive#October7
Just for the fucking record, so everyone is clear, I'm not getting paid. I do it to combat the fire hose of bullshit lies that get spewed from almost every institution, podcaster, entertainer. I do it so my Jewish friends know they're not alone as the world turns on them. Again.
wow, the Mayors are queuing up to make sure we don't get to grieve without offering an apology. After a drive-by gesture of regret Mamdani proceeded to contextualise us to death and without ever uttering the J word . J people not allowed their own mourning even when massacred, mutilated, raped, abducted .
The question is not whether Mamdani’s statement is as grotesque as everyone says—of course it is. The question is whether that was its entire point, and that the mayor of NYC is just trying to bait Jews on their day of sorrow. It’s all so deeply pathetic.
@NYCMayor It would've been better for Mayor Mamdani to be silent on the anniversary of the October 7th massacre and merely be thought of as an Antisemite, rather than to use the occasion to post a blood libel against Jews and be proven to be an Antisemite.
@NYCMayor You are such a fucking piece of shit. Today should only be about mourning the victims of 10/7, not for your hysterical editorializing about Israel and your ridiculous blood libel of "genocide." This is egregious. Fuck you.
The world demonizes Israel 365 days a year.
Perhaps, for just one day—October 7th—the critics of Israel could take a vacation from their hysterical hatred of the world’s only Jewish State and find it within themselves to express condolences for the thousands of Israelis murdered, maimed, mutilated, raped, and abducted at the hands of Hamas.
Today we remember the victims of the October 7 massacre – the killing of innocent Israeli people, the torture, mutilation, rape and kidnapping, parading of the dead, the wanton cruelty and the depraved celebrations of murder, the gleeful delight in brutality, the degeneracy of its perpetrators and supporters. It is a day that stands out for its unparalleled sadism and nihilism.
The scale of the killing of people of all sorts, all races, Jewish and Arab and others, is unequalled in a single day in modern times.
It was the greatest murder of Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Its cruelty and barbarism seem to belong to cruel times long ago – this was a lurch back to the raids and slaughters of the Mongols or the Huns - but it is unique too in its 21stcentury hi-tech modernity: it was filmed live by its perpetrators and other cameras and so unlike any other atrocity in all of human history, its details are beyond question.
It is the most documented butchery and sadism ever perpetrated – and therefore the reactions to it are simply the clearest and most unequalled test of humanity available to us, reactions that will be remembered in the future.
It was also a crime against peace: its effects were utterly destructive for Israelis but also for Palestinians and the innocent people across the whole region who perished in the wars it unleashed.
More than that, it was an atrocity against humanity itself - and the humanist values that mark all decent people, the values of liberal, free, kind societies and communities everywhere.
Its effects were utterly destructive for Israelis but also for the Palestinians and the rest of the region.
Today we remember those who died, those who were wounded, those who were kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed in the tunnels of Gaza, those who lost friends and compatriots.
It was a crime of annihilation to launch the liquidation of an entire people and nation, to kill and torture Israelis and Jews.
Am Yisrael Chai.
