"The assemblyman will not denounce Hamas. The assemblyman will not renounce Hasan Piker, who said America deserved 9/11. The assemblyman just said in his response, Well, it depends on occupation.' He added: That is code, meaning that Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish state, which he has never acknowledged. That is from the river to the sea. That's why he won't denounce globalize the intifada, which means kill all Jews."
"I want to be very clear: the occupation is a reference to international law and the violation of it, which Mr. Cuomo has no regard for since he signed up to be Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team during the course of this genocide. He added: And I find the comments that Hasan made on 9/11 to be objectionable and reprehensible. And I also think that part of the reason why Democrats are in the situation that we are in,"
A New York City mayoral debate grew heated as Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and Independent Andrew Cuomo exchanged sharp accusations while Republican Curtis Sliwa sought relevance. The confrontation focused on Mamdani's refusal to explicitly call for Hamas to disarm after a Fox News interview. Cuomo accused Mamdani of failing to denounce Hamas and Hasan Piker and argued Mamdani's "depends on occupation" phrasing signals denial of Israel's right as a Jewish state. Mamdani replied that "occupation" refers to international law violations, condemned Hasan's 9/11 comments, criticized Cuomo's defense of Netanyahu, and urged broader Democratic outreach.
