Why Mamdani Should Oppose Kathy Hochul's Protest Ban

Capitalizing on the inaction of the international community, which failed to apply meaningful pressure on Israel to halt its genocidal war in Gaza, the Israeli state has fast-tracked its efforts to carve up the West Bank through land grabs, home demolitions, and the mass expulsion of Palestinians. The purpose of the E1 project has always been clear; as Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said last August, it is intended to "bury the idea of a Palestinian state."

Zelenskyy gives speech at Davos as US delegation meets with Putin in Moscow Europe live

As we wait for Zelenskyy, it's worth noting a cheeky social media post from Poland's outspoken foreign minister Radosaw Sikorski. He posted a video of his comments from a side event on Ukraine at Davos, in which he argued that you have to put pressure not on the victim of the aggression, but on the aggressor, and added this comment: The person to the left to whom I was giving side glances was Steve Witkoff. It is likely to be seen as a swipe at what central and eastern Europeans see as Witkoff's troubling willingness to accept Putin's explanations and his tendency to present both sides of the conflict as if they were equally responsible for the continuation of the war.
