What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFox News reports that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted on the Oct. 7 anniversary, accusing Israel of genocide.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIsrael's UN Ambassador Danny Danon sharply rebuked it.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDanon's quote, per Fox: it is like turning September 11 into a day of mourning for al-Qaeda.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us is Gus Tanaka-Reyes, who runs a deli in Queens.

  5. Gus Tanaka-ReyesThanks, Hank. I just want to say my deli has no position on this. The only thing we're pro is egg and cheese.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFair. You're a New Yorker, so the mayor's posts reach you. Does a story like this show up at your counter?

  7. Gus Tanaka-ReyesEverything shows up at my counter. Yesterday a man argued with his own phone for ten minutes and then tipped me in coupons.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd on a day like this, with grief and anger on every side, what do your customers ask for?

  9. Gus Tanaka-ReyesMostly quiet, Hank. Folks who lost people don't want a post. They want coffee and ten minutes where nobody's yelling at them.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's a measured answer. Do you think officials should weigh in on days like this at all?

  11. Gus Tanaka-ReyesEverybody with a microphone has a take, and every take gets a rebuttal by lunch. Meanwhile my ice machine has been broken since August and nobody posts about that.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPress offices are quick, ice machine repairs are not. Is there anything you'd want the politicians to hear?

  13. Gus Tanaka-ReyesSure. Before you post, walk a block. Buy a sandwich. Read it out loud to the guy at the register. If he winces, delete it.

  14. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGus Tanaka-Reyes, thank you. Desk verdict: the deli counter is the only branch of government with a working complaint line. We'll leave it there.
