NYC Mayor Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji liked posts celebrating Hamas Oct. 7th rape & murder massacre, you absolute horror of a human being

UPDATED: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji celebrated Palestinian terrorists and plane hijacker Leila Khaled in a flurry of resurfaced social media posts she made as a teenager and in her early 20s, a shocking new report said. Rama Duwaji "you absolute horror of a human being". The Big Apple’s first lady — already under fire for her troubling past social media activity — used her Tumblr account to hail Palestinian plane hijacker Leila Khaled and other members of the terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), according to posts reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Rama Duwaji, 28, used the now-inactive account while she was living in the Middle East, according to the Beacon, which linked the posts to her, in part, using facial recognition technology. Rama Duwaji had seethed on Twitter that Tel Aviv “shouldn’t exist in the first place,” calling its residents “occupiers. Leila Khaled hijacked her first plane for the terrorist group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in 1969. The PFLP is a Palestinian Marxist–Leninist terrorist organization founded in 1967 by George Habash. In February 2024, a few months after The New York Times published an investigation into the sexual violence that occurred on October 7, 2023, Rama Duwaji, the wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, liked an Instagram post referring to the “mass rape” hoax that was “fabricated” by the paper.  

Newsflash for Rama Duwaji all you fans and flag wavers for Palestine and the PLO and PFLP groups. If you are a Palestinian you just might be a terrorist. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) is a USA recognized terrorist organization. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) ideology is Marxist-Leninist, revolutionary socialism, Palestinian nationalism, and anti-imperialism. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani ideology is Marxist-Leninist, socialist.

October 7th, 2023 survivor Tali Biner who witnessed unthinkable atrocities of rape and murder during the Hamas massacre at Supernova Music Festival near Kibbutz Re'im has a blistering message for Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji, "you absolute horror of a human being". “They (Hamas) dismembered bodies and sexually violated women and men, including rape and the insertion of objects into their bodies,” Tali Biner said. NYC Marxist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji liked media posts celebrating Hamas Oct. 7th 2023 rape & murder of Israeli citizens near Gaza fence. Barbarians at the Gate! The largest number of Israili deaths occurred during the attack on the Supernova Music Festival, where at least 364 civilians were killed. The Supernova Music Festival near Kibbutz Re'im.  

Agence France-Presse (AFP), which cross-referenced numerous data sources to verify the number of people killed, has assessed that 815 of a total of 1,195 people killed were civilians, including 79 foreign nationals. Among them were at least 282 women and 36 children. Hamas, the Palestinian terrrorist movement that has governed the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip since 2007, stated that its armed wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades (the “Qassam Brigades”), led the rape and murder assault on October 7th 2023.

The posts liked by Rama Duwaji, a Syrian-American 'artist', unambiguously celebrated the terrorist attack, which saw nearly 1,200 Israelis and foreign workers were raped and killed, with thousands wounded, 251 civilians and military personnel kidnapped and numerous episodes of sexual assault, rape. The first post, shared on the day of Hamas’ onslaught, came from The Slow Factory, which bills itself as “a school, knowledge partner and climate innovation organization” that “center[s] the voices and ideas of the Global Majority (Black, Indigenous, and other people of color) to share their knowledge outside the boundaries of institutions & oppressive systems.” 

The Instagram post shows stills from participants’ live streamed footage of the attack: first of a bulldozer that terrorists used to breach the barrier separating Israel from Gaza, the second of attackers riding on a captured IDF vehicle. Printed on the former are the words “Breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation,” and on the latter “Resisting apartheid since 1948,” and on both the slogan “Systemic change for collective liberation.” The extensive caption on the post laments that “if and when the occupation forces retaliate against this resistance” Gazans will be “punished for wanting freedom from apartheid.” 

Rama Duwaji, who met Mamdani on Hinge dating app in 2021 and married him in early 2025, liked this post and others using a personal account in her own name, on which she has posted her often-political illustrations and with which the mayor has interacted in the past. She has used it also to directly criticize Israeli policy. The unapologetic tone of the Slow Factory Post contrasts radically with the mayor’s debate-stage messaging on the attack, which characterized Hamas’ actions as “war crimes,” even as he continually lambasted the Israeli military response. Rama Duwaji did not respond to multiple requests for comment, and the mayor’s office would not answer questions regarding his feelings about her online activity, or whether they had discussed the Oct. 7 attacks at the time. Rather, his team repeated his standard line on the bloody terrorist rampage. Newsflash for all you fans and flag wavers for Palestine, Hamas Runs the Country from Gaza, Palestine is Hamas, Palestine is Terrorism. HAMAS has been the de facto governing body in the Gaza Strip since 2007, when it ousted the Palestinian Authority from power.

NEWSFLASH FOR NYC FIRST LADY "RAMA DUWAJI" IRAN HANGS 3 TEEN PROTESTORS, IRAN SUPPORTS HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH IN GAZA. Iran provides extensive funding, training, and weaponry to Hezbollah and Hamas, utilizing them as proxies to counter Israel and expand regional influence, notably amid the Gaza conflict. MARCH 19, 2026 Iran executed a 19-year-old champion wrestler in a public hanging Thursday along with two other people who were arrested during the brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters in January 2026. Saleh Mohammadi, a rising star from Qom, was allegedly tortured to confess to the capital crime of waging war against God, with the teen executed without a fair trial, according to human rights groups. “His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society,” Nima Far, a human rights activist and Iranian combat athlete, told Fox News.

Newsflash for all you fans and flag wavers for Palestine. If you are a Palestinian you just might be a terrorist. HAMAS the acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement) is the largest and most capable militant terrorist group in the Palestinian territories and one of the territories' two major political parties, they run the show, 'Hamas is the Boss'. Palestine is based on terrorism. What are the differences between the flags of nationalist and Islamist groups like Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, People Front for Liberation Palestine, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Jihad Jibril Brigades, Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Hezbollah, and jihadist groups like Al Qaeda, its offshoots, and the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham? Nothing, they are all terrorists who seek to force their political or religious beliefs by violence on others. While Hezbollah is Shiite and Hamas is Sunni, those sectarian differences have mattered little in their shared nationalist, Islamic, and anti-Israeli, anti-American narratives. Both groups have a military wing that has committed acts of terrorism, and both participate significantly in local politics in a big way. Palestinian political violence has targeted Israelis, Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Egyptians, Americans and citizens of many other other countries since November 1918 after WWI. Any and all Palestinians is/are a terrorists.

Iran had supported Hamas terrorism covertly for years, and after the West cut off aid Tehran publicly pledged fifty million dollars a year to the Hamas-led government in Gaza. “Without this Iranian money, we never would have been able to pay the 45,000 government workers in Gaza,” one Hamas politburo member told the Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat. Palestinian Media Watch reported that the Palestinian Authority spent more than $5 million a month paying salaries to Palestinians and Israeli Arabs imprisoned in Israel for terror crimes. They also stated that groups in a summer camp for children sponsored by PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad were named after militants: Dalal Mughrabi, who led the Coastal Road Massacre; Salah Khalaf, head of Black September that carried out the Munich massacre; and Abu Ali Mustafa, the general secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine who perpetrated many attacks. Saddam Hussein, the leader of Iraq, donated $25,000 to the families of suicide bombers, and $10,000 to the families of Palestinian civilians killed by the Israeli military.

Did 'Red & 8' convince some other teen or teens to abduct Nancy Guthrie in Tuscon AZ? It happened in Scottsdale AZ and in Minneapolis MN, same exact M.O. with a home invasion kidnapping for crypto currency. Ransom notes related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie were sent to multiple media outlets, including the celebrity news website TMZ and the Tucson-based CBS affiliate KOLD-TV, via their respective email tip lines, were received by these outlets in early February 2026.

Did "Red and 8" send two teams from California, one to kidnap Nancy Guthrie in Tuscon AZ at 1:47 a.m. and one to do a home invasion kidnapping in Scottsdale AZ at 10:44 a.m. on or about the same day Saturday January 31st 2026 into Sunday February 1st, 2026. Kidnapping at about 1:47 a.m. at Nancy Guthrie's house in Tuscon AZ, and home invasion kidnap attempt at 10:44 a.m. in Scottsdale AZ, both break-ins occurred within a 15 hour time frame. The method and targeting of wealthy victims have prompted speculation about a broader organized scheme that could intersect with Guthrie’s case. Sunday February 1, 2026, Scottsdale Police arrested two juveniles in connection with an attempted robbery and home invasion that occurred on Saturday January 31, 2026, at approximately 10:44 a.m.. Scottsdale Police officers responded to a report of an unknown problem at a residence in the 9800 block of Windrose Drive. Upon arrival, officers discovered an active home invasion in progress. At about the same time frame in Tuscon AZ Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home in the early morning hours of Sunday February 1, 2026. Investigators determined she was taken against her will after her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m., followed by activity at the residence and her pacemaker app disconnecting from her phone at 2:28 a.m..

On January 31, 2026, just hours before Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today‘s Savannah Guthrie, was last seen outside her home in Tuscon Arizona, two teenage boys from California, Jackson Sullivan, 17, from San Luis Obispo CA and Skylar Lapaille, 16, of Morro Bay CA were arrested after dressing as delivery drivers and allegedly duct-taping and assaulting two adults at their home in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to Fox 10. Police believe the boys were extorted to rob the homeowners because they allegedly possessed $66 million worth of cryptocurrency. The teenagers “got the information from someone known as ‘Red’ and someone known as ‘8,’ and all communications with those people were through the Signal application,” police said. The teenagers who were arrested for the alleged cryptocurrency robbery traveled to Scottsdale Arizona from San Luis Obispo California about a 9 hour drive.

TMZ media outlet in Los Angeles received multiple ransom notes from 'Red & 8' seeking cryptocurrency for the return of Nancy Guthrie. Why did kidnappers choose TMZ to send Nancy Guthrie ransom notes? The 75-year-old journalist and lawyer, Harvey Levin, told CNN that the demand received by TMZ, which had already received at least four notes seeking a reward or ransom, was “a really sophisticated note” given “the manner in which they’re asking for the money.” Nancy Guthrie Case Could Be Cracked With Detailed Looks at 'Pharmaceutical Records' That Match Missing Woman's Meds, Private Investigator Says.

The FBI has posted billboards in California to expand the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor
Savannah Guthrie, who was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona, home on January 31, 2026.
The decision to place billboards in California is driven by several investigative factors: Geographic Expansion: Digital billboards have been placed along major travel corridors, such as the 10 Freeway near Palm Springs and in cities like Irwindale, Buena Park, Los Angeles (TMZ location), and San Diego. These locations connect directly to the freeway leading east toward Tucson, covering potential travel routes used by the abductor.

West Coast Leads: Ransom notes received by TMZ media outlet suggest that Guthrie may have been moved to the West Coast or possibly northern Mexico. Connection to California Suspects: Investigators are exploring potential links between Guthrie's disappearance and two teenagers (TMZ link) from California who were arrested for a violent robbery in Scottsdale, Arizona, on the same day Nancy Guthrie vanished. 

Public Awareness and Rewards: The billboards display Guthrie's physical description and a $50,000 FBI reward (supplemented by an additional $1 million from the family) to encourage tips from the public in high-traffic areas.  The campaign is supported by Clear Channel, which has donated digital space to aid law enforcement across California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. Ex-FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffe Links Nancy Guthrie Abduction to Recent Arizona Arrests: How Cases Are Connected by Crypto ransom demands sent to TMZ in California by teenage kidnappers see more at https://www.tvinsider.com/1252038/nancy-guthrie-theory-disappearance-linked-arizona-teen-arrest/

I will bet that the FBI VICAP board has lit up like a Christmas tree when they connect the dots form the Nancy Guthrie home invasion kidnapping in Tuscon AX to the home invasion kidnapping in Scottsdale AZ to the home invasion kidnapping in Minneopolis MN all for Bitcoin or Crypto currency ransom and all masterminded by a 3rd party in all cases, like the unknown "Red" and "8". Sept 25, 2025, Exact same M.O. used by 2 Texas Brothers Charged in $8 Million Armed Crypto-Kidnapping Heist in MINNEAPOLIS MN. It appears that the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping in Tuscon AZ and the home invasion kidnapping in Scottsdale AZ are carbon copy cases pulled exactly from the Minneapolis MN case in Sept 2025. Raymond Christian Garcia, 23, and Isiah Angelo Garcia, 24, were charged federally by complaint with Kidnapping for engaging in a home invasion kidnapping and cryptocurrency heist where they held a family at gunpoint for nine hours and stole $8 million in crypto currency, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson. Isiah Garcia demanded that Victim 1 transfer large amounts of cryptocurrency into a cryptocurrency wallet that Isiah Garcia provided. During the robbery, Victim 1 saw both Garcia brothers frequently making phone calls to an unknown third party, ("Red and 8") who appeared to be providing the information related to the cryptocurrency accounts and transfers. Through this third party, ("Red and 8") the Garcia brothers became aware that Victim 1 had additional cryptocurrency funds. They demanded the money.

NYP Writes 2/14/2026; Nancy Guthrie kidnapper’s possible looks revealed by forensic artist reviewing surveillance footage, sorry I don't see it! From what I saw on the surveillance footage of the masked man at Nancy Guthrie's front door, I saw a heavy set white man (not Latino) around 185 lbs at about 5' 10" tall with a round face, I would estimate the age of the man at above 50+ due to his fumbling around with the doorbell, the way his holstered gun hung down in front of him between his legs due to his beer belly and the belt holding the holstered gun sliding down along his hips, just sloppy, not Rico Suave.

Investigators believe the handle (grip) of the gun may provide enough detail for ATF personnel to eventually identify the specific firearm. FBI Reports; Additional recovered footage, from the same camera - at the same timeline the morning of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. This footage is just before the original video shared, with the individual approaching Nancy Guthrie’s front door. On Tuesday, law enforcement released still images and surveillance video of an armed man (heavy set white male) captured on a Nest camera outside the 84-year-old’s Catalina Foothills home front door. The images show a masked man at Guthrie’s front door wearing a jacket, gloves, pants, holstered gun, and carrying a backpack. In one photo, the man appears to be holding something in front of the camera. 

The armed masked man outside Nancy Guthrie’s home looks like he is carrying a Russian semi-auto Makarov 9x18mm pistol with a curved grip, also the holster is wrong it appears to go with a western type revolver with a long barrel. The armed man at Guthrie’s front door uses  a"cheap universal nylon style" cowboy type holster made for a revolver, he uses it to house a semi auto pistol, not a guy proficient with handguns, LOL. Most likely the gun is the Russian Makarov semi-auto pistol with curved grip, they have been readily available in the USA for decades. I knew as soon as I saw the photos that the gun the kidnapper had was most likely a Russian semi auto Makarov style pistol, as I have had one for over 25 years.  

VIDEO; Private investigator calls new FBI video key break in Nancy Guthrie case. The footage shows a masked, armed figure approaching her doorstep, disabling her Nest camera, and leaving before her pacemaker app disconnects. The masked man appears to be a white, heavy set, middle aged man with a beard and mustache peeking out from under his mask. Blood was later found outside the home. The investigator says the suspect’s movements, behavior, and attempts to hide from the camera offer critical clues.

The masked man photographed at Nancy Guthrie’s front door seen with the "cheap universal nylon style" holster for the semi-auto pistol could most likely be carrying the Russian 9x18mm PM Makarov semi-auto pistol, which also had the slightly curved grip, makes sense. I have a Russian 9x18mm PM Makarov semi-auto pistol I bought 25 years ago in Florida, they are common at all gun shows. The 9x18mm PM (Pistolet Makarova) is a compact, Soviet-designed double-action/single-action pistol, utilizing a simple straight-blowback operation. Introduced in 1951, the Makarov features an 8-round magazine, a 3.8-inch barrel, and a 9.27mm (.365 in) bullet diameter, making it slightly more powerful than a .380 ACP, but the gun is heavy to carry, you would need a holster but not like how the masked man in the photo is doing.

New surveillance images show armed masked man outside Nancy Guthrie’s home looks like he is possibly carrying a Russian Makarov pistol, with curved grip in a cowboy style nylon holster which is set for a revolver with a long barrel. If I was the kidnapper, as supposedly this mook in the photo who stares directly into the ring bell camera is, I would not carry my gun hanging from a "cheap universal nylon style" holster dangling between my legs in front of me. The kidnapper is no expert or is he even experienced, he is no pro! Look, if the victim of a single kidnapper (like man in photo) is 18 or 80 you darn well know there is going to be a struggle, you do not break into the house with your gun hanging loosely from your belt in front of you where the victim could grab it. Expert analysis (and me) suggests the suspect may be inexperienced with firearms because the semi-auto pistol is being carried in a holster designed for a much larger weapon, likely a long-barrel revolver. The Russian pistol Makarov PM is fairly heavy and that is why it appears to hang in the photo at an awkward angle.
