            Mayor Zohran Mamdani a Hypocrite :  Muslim Lives Does Matter. 

Mr. Mamdani,  Let me remind you  that on July 11, 2026  the world paused to remember one of the clearest and most thoroughly documented genocides in modern history. Mayor Zohran Mamdani, your silence on this solemn day speaks volumes and warrants serious reflection.

On July 11, as thousands gather at the Bosnia and Herzegovina  , Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial Centre, ten more victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide are finally laid to rest. Many were young men whose mothers waited in vain for their sons, wives for their husbands, and children for fathers who would never return.

More than 8,372 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were systematically murdered solely because they were Muslim and identity. This was not merely the opinion of activists or self described scholars. The genocide at Srebrenica was formally recognized by both the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) after extensive judicial proceedings, evidence, witness testimony, and legal scrutiny.

Yet you have chosen to remain silent on this proven genocide while publicly promoting recognition of the so-called Armenian genocide a historical claim that has never been adjudicated and established as genocide by an international court through a comparable judicial process.

That inconsistency raises legitimate questions. If your commitment to human rights is genuine, why acknowledge one historical so call claim while failing to recognize another that has been conclusively established by international courts as a proven Genocide? Human rights cannot be selective, and the memory of innocent victims should never depend on political convenience.

July 11th we remember the victims of Srebrenica, stand with our Muslim brother and  people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and reaffirm that justice requires consistency. The world honors the truth established by law, not political expediency. Victims of genocide deserve equal remembrance, equal dignity, and equal moral courage from those who seek public office.
