The New York Post, citing a February 2024 post and a screenshot of the like, attributes the attention to social media activity surrounding the attack\u2019s coverage. A free press reporter shared the screenshot on X, highlighting the reaction to Duwaji\u2019s like.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also features testimony from survivor Tali Biner, who recounts hiding during the events at the Nova Music Festival, describes the violence she witnessed, and urges Duwaji to acknowledge the facts of what happened that day. Biner\u2019s remarks emphasize the physical and sexual violence she says occurred and condemn denial of the events.<\/p>\n<p>in addition, the article notes older Tumblr posts attributed to Duwaji in which she allegedly praised Palestinian terrorists and criticized U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">service members<\/a>, suggesting a pattern of controversial views from her youth. some outlets quoted in the piece argue that these posts indicate ongoing support for terrorism, though the report also indicates these views were expressed years earlier.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>New York City First Lady Rama Duwaji received a stern reality check about the Hamas terrorist attack on Oct. 7, 2023, after liking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fact-check-has-the-who-director-general-not-been-vaccinated-against-covid-19\/\" title=\"FACT CHECK: Has The WHO Director-General Not Been Vaccinated Against COVID-19?\">social media post claiming<\/a> the mass rapes committed that day were a hoax.<\/p>\n<p>According to an article in the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/03\/07\/us-news\/mamdanis-wife-rama-duwaji-liked-post-calling-october-7-hamas-rapes-of-israelis-a-mass-hoax-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>, Duwaji liked a post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> Instagram in February 2024 where a user questioned the legitimacy of reporting by The New York Times regarding the attack.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If I told you that The New York Times hired a recently graduated college student with only a couple prior articles written on the subject of food and cooking to be their lead on the ground &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-issues-crushing-ruling-against-j6-prosecutors-vacates-judgement-of-dc-circuit-court\/\" title=\"SCOTUS Issues Crushing Ruling Against J6 Prosecutors, Vacates Judgement of DC Circuit Court\">reporter&#038;rsquo<\/a>; on the &lsquo;mass rape&rsquo; hoax they fabricated, would you believe it?
