The New York City mayor-elect made the visit on Monday evening, days after a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah event on Sydney's Bondi Beach that killed at least 15 people, including a Chabad rabbi, a 10-year-old girl, and Holocaust survivors. Australian police identified the attackers as Sajid Akram and his son Naveed, linked to ISIS ideology. Mamdani, who condemned the attack as antisemitic terror, drew praise from some in Jewish communities for the outreach gesture at the open-to-all gravesite, while critics questioned its sincerity given his past activism on Gaza and associations with controversial chants.

Key Takeaway

In a quiet moment of reflection, Zohran Mamdani stood prayerfully at the Ohel in Queens, wearing a kippah and leaving a note at the site revered by Chabad-Lubavitch.

Goldsmith, ex-wife of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, reports a 97% drop in her post impressions this year, from hundreds of millions monthly to just 28.6 million total, based on X's Grok analytics. She claims posts about Khan's jail conditions or her sons' denied access get sharply reduced visibility in Pakistan and globally, following government pressure. Khan has been detained since August 2023 on corruption charges his party calls politically motivated; a UN expert urged an end to his solitary confinement on December 12, 2025. Supporters like Piers Morgan call the treatment outrageous, while critics point to Khan's convictions.

Key Takeaway

Jemima Goldsmith shares the pain of her two sons, who haven't seen or spoken to their father Imran Khan in months amid blocked letters and prison isolation. She's turning to Elon Musk with data showing her posts about his detention reach far fewer people.

Fans highlight the irony, noting even promoted Sunderland ranks above Spurs while flipping jabs about quick tactical fixes.
