Mamdani's victory in the Democratic mayoral primary shows that it is possible to criticize Israeli atrocities even in heavily Jewish New York City. I suspect his candor helped him. The defeated Cuomo defended the genocide. trib.al/eOuRpNS

In cutting $400 million in grants to Columbia University, Trump claims to be protecting Jews. I was just on the campus and didn't feel the least bit threatened. This is clearly about suppressing criticism of Israeli war crimes. trib.al/8lAFR8o

If the BBC Gaza documentary was a 'propaganda' film for Hamas, they really ought to have cut the several Palestinians featured in the film who were critical of or seemed pretty furious with Hamas
Beyond dismal that the BBC pulled its documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, a rare account of the brutality of Israeli's war and its effects on Gaza's children. Just one hour in which Palestinians were humanised and now withdrawn under pressure
For those of us who have lived and covered this war from 2014 and before it is hard to imagine a more counterfactual, distorted and frankly offensive interpretation of the last decade
