Mamdani highlights US ‘complicity’ in Gaza war on Oct 7 anniversary
New York mayor Zohran Mamdani says many are reckoning with the unbearable grief while knowing their tax dollars fund 'war crimes'.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has spoken out on the third anniversary of the Oct 7, 2023 attacks, highlighting the US's complicity in the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. In a post on X, Mamdani expressed deep grief for the countless New Yorkers who have lost loved ones, acknowledging that the suffering did not begin nor end on that tragic day.
He emphasized that the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 74,000, with over 21,000 of those victims being children. Mamdani stressed that the US tax dollars are supporting these war crimes and called for an end to a world that tolerates occupation and apartheid. He urged people to fight for a world where everyone can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.
Despite a ceasefire in October 2025, Israel has continued its attacks on Gaza, resulting in over 1,400 deaths and nearly 5,000 injuries, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
