Commentator Ben Shapiro has strongly criticized New York City Mayor Zuhairah Madani for an "antisemitic" statement released on the three-year anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack. Madani's statement acknowledged that Hamas killed over 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 people, expressing "fake sorrow" for the loss. However, the statement notably omitted explicit mention of the sexual violence, the murder of children, or the fact that children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. The mayor then shifted to a harsh condemnation of Israel, accusing it of "genocide" in Gaza and of attacking ambulances, residential buildings, and journalists, while also alleging Israel prevented aid from entering. Critics viewed Madani's statement as a perfunctory nod to the anniversary before pivoting to his usual anti-Israel political messaging. Shapiro highlighted the disparity, tweeting, "49 words to remember the Jews murdered on October 7. 141 words about how Israel is responsible for everything and the only answer is to give more power, money, and authority to those who want to destroy Israel."
