Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City, proving that supporting Palestinian rights is a popular position.

The Trump administration’s recent efforts to target left-wing groups started with attacks on the Palestine movement, following the strategy established by pro-Israel organizations that worked for decades to pave the way for such repression.

By sportswashing its reputation through events like the New York City Marathon, the Indian conglomerate Tata Group has built a multi-billion-dollar brand name as it directly profits from Israel’s occupation and genocide.

There’s outrage in Israel over the leaked video of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner. However, the outrage isn’t about the rape itself but the fact that the video was leaked in the first place.
