The wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is known for her alleged anti-Israeli views, randomly bumped into Miss Israel inside a cafe.

Rama Duwaji, 28, and beauty queen Melanie Shiraz, 27, had a brief encounter on Sunday in the city that Shiraz claimed was a short but tense meeting.

In a post to her Instagram page, Shiraz shared a selfie of the two alongside a clip of her talking, describing the chance meeting.

She said: 'So guess who sat next to me at a cafe in New York, none other than Zohran Mamdani’s wife Rama Duwaji.

'The same Rama Duwaji, who posted horribly anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and terror sympathizing things not that long ago, and also apologized for it.'

According to Shiraz, Duwaji was happy to pose for a selfie with her but her behavior changed when she found out that she was Israeli.

Shiraz continued: 'Despite the setting being calm the moment she found out I was Israeli she refused to have a conversation with me.'

According to the outlet she liked an image which celebrated the attack by Hamas on Israel in October of 2023.

Another image said: 'Breaking the walls of apartheid and military occupation', followed by the date.

The image showed a bulldozer used by the group to break through into Israel on that day in which nearly 1,200 people died.

When quizzed over the posts, Mamdani said: 'My wife is the love of my life, and she is also a private person who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall.'

'She was polite throughout. But the shift in demeanor was evident, and the lack of willingness to engage even more so.'

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Someone does not know the meaning of Random.

I wonder if the "random" cafe under the Brooklyn bridge was for sale too.

The good news is that their encounter was both civil and polite. At least we now know that Mrs. Mamdani can turn her Jew-Hate down to the lower setting. It’s a start.

Yes, commendable!

So maybe there's hope yet?

Goebbels smiled at him until he learned that Eisenstaedt was Jewish – a moment Eisenstaedt captured in this photo.

Nah...

I'm so old I can remember when we had people with pronounceable First World names in Gracie Mansion.

Like John and Mary Anne and Michael and Susan.

There are probably now more Juans than Johns and more Miguels than Michaels being born in much of the SW US thanks to decades of bad immigration policy and worse enforcement. It's only a matter of time before Third Worlders occupy most positions of influence in major US cities. With Mexicans running many Texas cities, is a Somali mayor that far off for Minneapolis?
