The wife of New York’s socialist mayor hopeful Zohran Mamdani is mourning one of the most prominent Palestinian influencers, who openly celebrated Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel and has been the tip of the spear on Hamas propaganda efforts.
Saleh al-Jafarawi, popularly known as “Mr. FAFO,” was killed over the weekend in the fighting between Hamas and other Palestinian clans, as confirmed by Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV.
Al-Jafarawi gained attention after posting a video following the October 7 attacks in which he praised Hamas’s rocket fire. Shortly after, he recorded another video crying in fear during Israeli airstrikes, earning him the nickname “Mr. FAFO.” Among other allegations, Al-Jafarawi was accused of raising $10 million to build a children’s hospital but keeping the funds.
Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, posted a tribute to him on her Instagram with broken hearts and calling him “beloved.”
Mamdani, who ran in a Gaza 5k yesterday and has endorsed anti-Israel rhetoric for years, released a statement on the second anniversary of the Hamas October 7 massacre by briefly saying Hamas had “carried out a horrific war crime,” but then escalated his rhetoric by continuing at length about Israel’s supposed genocide, writing:🚨(VIDEO)

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: a death toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered.

In June, Mamdani was pressed three times to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” and each time he refused to do so. Mamdani backpedaled in July, telling a group of executives that he would “discourage” the use of the phrase, but still refused to condemn it outright, saying, “I don’t believe that the role of the mayor is to police speech.”

“The escalation between Hamas and the Doghmush clan reportedly began when members of the clan ambushed several Hamas operatives near the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza City this past Friday, shortly after a ceasefire went into effect,” the Jerusalem Post reported. “Reports also emerged of summary executions carried out by Hamas against members of the Doghmush clan in Sabra, including claims that children from the clan were also targeted by gunfire.”
Social media users noted the duplicitous nature of what al-Jafarawi had performed:
The name "Mr FAFO" was coined by myself back in October 2023, after he infamously celebrated 07/10 before crying as Israel retaliated.
Since then he's died, been resurrected and held at least 20 roles including radiologist, journalist, doctor and father.
So long, Mr FAFO. pic.twitter.com/NFNbf64qcb
