A newly surfaced report claims that Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, previously shared social media content expressing support for Palestinian terrorists, drawing renewed attention to her past online activity.

According to material reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, Duwaji — who serves as New York City’s first lady — used a Tumblr account years ago to post favorable content about figures associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, including well-known hijacker Leila Khaled.

The report states that Duwaji, now 28, operated the since-deleted account while living in the Middle East. The outlet said it linked the account to her in part through facial recognition analysis.

In one post dated September 2017, she uploaded an image of Khaled, who participated in airplane hijackings in 1969 and 1970, alongside a quote attributed to her: “If it does good for my cause, I’d be happy to accept death.”

In another post, she shared a photograph of a Bangladeshi stamp bearing the message, “We salute the valiant freedom fighters of Palestine,” according to the report.

The Beacon also reported that in 2015, Duwaji reposted a strongly worded message criticizing American military personnel, stating that U.S. troops “fightin in imperialist wars are not brave nor are they fighting for anyone’s freedom.”

That same post accused the military of “mercilessly slaughtering 3rd world civilians” in order to uphold “American hegemony.”

Another repost from December 2015 attributed responsibility for the creation of al Qaeda to white individuals.

“You can’t blame muslims for terrorism because they didn’t construct, fund nor train Al-Qaeda,” the post said. “White People did that too.”

Additional posts from that period included statements about Israel, including one in which she wrote that Tel Aviv “shouldn’t exist in the first place,” referring to its residents as “occupiers.” The report also noted that she used a racial slur in a 2013 tweet when she was reportedly 15.

The resurfaced material follows earlier reports indicating that Duwaji had interacted with controversial content more recently, including liking an Instagram post on October 7, 2023, that marked Hamas’ attack on Israel with celebratory imagery.

She was also reported to have liked another post that described claims of Hamas committing immoral violence during the attack as a “mass hoax.”

In response to the scrutiny, Mamdani — who has been outspoken in his criticism of Israel — said that his wife has not played any official role in his political activities. He stated that she “has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall” and argued that her past social media activity should not be a focus of public attention.
