It's a war crime to gratuitously destroy civilian infrastructure, yet "Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza since it withdrew from a ceasefire with Hamas in March, with entire towns and suburbs...levelled in the past few weeks." bbc.co.uk/news/resources…

On concerns shared with him over US-Israeli genocide in Gaza: “What offends so many in our city — this horror is one that is subsidized by our country,” Mamdani said. “I heard not just about a desire for cheaper groceries and a cost-of-living that was easier to navigate, but also…

Following a widespread violent crackdown on largely peaceful student protesters in Belgrade & towns across #Serbia for the 6th consecutive day, @amnesty & @crdefenders call on Serbian authorities to end unlawful use of force against student protesters amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral primary shows that, contrary to Democratic Party bosses, many Democrats don't want slavish support for Israel while it commits genocide in Gaza. trib.al/E8QgWyX
