Supporters of the protesters argue that a mayor honoring October 7 mourners betrays the cultural memory of communities that see the vigil as tied to ongoing displacement, so loyalty itself is contested.
Supporters of the protesters argue that a mayor's presence at a vigil tied to October 7 signals cultural alignment with one narrative over another, and that representing a diverse city demands refusing such symbolic endorsements.

Supporters of the protesters argue Mamdani's vigil attendance signals weakness, and that branding him "traitor" is a calculated move to make his base doubt his loyalty before the next election.

Supporters of Protesters counter that a vigil framing all lives as equal erases the moral distinction between oppressor and oppressed, honoring the killed alongside those who killed them.
Supporters of the protesters argue that a mayor's presence at a vigil honoring October 7 victims betrays the sacred trust of communities demanding accountability, and that religious conscience obligates them to name such participation a betrayal.
Supporters of the protesters argue that a mayor honoring October 7 contradicts the sacred duty to protect his own community, and they see his vigil attendance as a betrayal of that trust.
Supporters of the Protesters counter that mourning October 7 without naming the religious duty to defend the living misreads tradition; in their view, honoring the dead while ignoring ongoing violence betrays the faith's call to justice.
