Ashura is a time of remembrance, sacrifice and reflection.
Today, on the 10th day of Muharram, we are reminded of Imam Hussain's unwavering commitment to truth and dignity. His timeless legacy reminds us of the enduring values of faith, service to one another, and the belief that justice is always worth fighting for.
Our City’s strength comes from the many faith traditions that shape it — and our shared struggle against injustice and oppression.
May we carry these values forward as we continue building a more just City for every New Yorker.
Israel is deliberately killing Palestinian children.
Not by mistake. Not by accident.
To destroy the biological continuity of Gaza.
To erase future generations before they are born.
There is a word for that: GENOCIDE.

Last weekend in Al-Khalil (Hebron) Israeli soldiers fired at a Palestinian family in their car. The soldiers claimed the car was speeding at them.
A 7-month-old baby died from agunshot to the head.
It turns out someone took a video of the incident. The car fully stopped. The soldier fired anyway.
He murdered a baby, and almost an entire family, in cold blood.
There was no violence and no fighting going on. No unrest. No stress.
This is Israeli society: am industrial scale assembly line of baby murderers in cold blood.
This is the apartheid and occupation Palestinians are forced to live under decade after decade.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis could have been there instead of that soldier, and make the same decision, and have no emotional response whatsoever.
The Jewish state is a superpower of child murder. And it is protected by all the cultural, political, academic, economic, creative forces of an entire civilization.
May it burn with all its psychopaths and murderers.
