Self-described “Democratic socialist” Zohran Mamdani will soon govern New York City, capitalism’s hub in America and the free world, and internal plans from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) outline how its NYC chapter intends to pressure the mayor-elect to inject extreme anti-Israel policies into the management and life of the Big Apple.
Mamdani, who triumphed over former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa, has long been active in the DSA and is listed as one of the group’s nine “New York State Socialists in Office.” The DSA strongly supported his primary and general election campaigns, though he sought to distance himself from the organization’s more revolutionary rhetoric during the race.
<a href="https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/socialist-will-govern-capitalist-capital-heres-what-socialists-who">Just the News</a> obtained a leaked internal document reportedly from the NYC-DSA’s Anti-War Working Group (AWWG), titled “AWWG Palestine Policy Meeting = Meeting Agenda &amp; Notes.” The document, distributed at what was promoted as a public meeting, lays out a detailed strategy for pushing the newly elected Mamdani toward adopting anti-Israel policies. The proposals include: Divesting city pension funds from Israeli bonds; withdrawing city money from banks with Israeli ties; ending city contracts with companies connected to Israel; banning Israeli products from city-run grocery stores; investigating real estate agents for alleged illegal sales in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria); removing nonprofit status from charities that raise funds for the Israel Defense Forces; dismantling current Mayor Eric Adams’ NYC-Israel Economic Council; terminating NYPD cooperation with Israeli police and military, and arresting Israeli officials and soldiers for alleged war crimes.
In 2017, as a rapper, Mamdani praised and voiced his “<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/21/us-news/socialist-nyc-mayoral-candidate-zohran-mamdani-once-rapped-about-his-love-for-hamas-teror-funding-group-holy-land-five/">love</a>” for the Holy Land Foundation Five, who were convicted for funneling $12 million to Hamas.
Mamdani founded Bowdoin College’s chapter of the virulently anti-Israel group Students for Justice in Palestine.
Speaking in 2023, Mamdani’s hyper-antisemitism, intertwined with his socialist contempt for police and the capitalist system, was amply displayed in a comment about the NYPD and Israel.
Mamdani referred to the “boot of the NYPD” being on the neck of New York City residents, adding that the “boot” was “laced by the IDF.”
In May 2025, Mamdani, who supports the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement that seeks to isolate the state of Israel, <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2025/05/zohran-mamdani-new-york-mayor-candidate-forum-uja-jcrc-ny-cuomo-jewish-israel/">refused to say</a> whether Israel had a right to exist as a Jewish state. He has <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/what-nyc-mayoral-frontrunner-zohran-mamdani-has-said-about-jews-and-israel/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">repeatedly referred</a> to Israel’s war against Hamas as a “genocide.”
Mamdani has sponsored a bill that would fine Jewish groups at least $1 million for donating to “unauthorized” charities operating in Israel. The legislation would ban Jewish synagogues and charities from donating to groups such as United Hatzalah and ZAK. These nonprofit groups specialize in emergency response and treatment of victims of terrorism, according to <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-859627?dicbo=v2-puQTs4k#google_vignette">The Jerusalem Post</a>.

In a <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/04/bbc-arabic-bias-pushed-hamas-lies/">blistering internal report</a> that reads like an indictment of the BBC’s own integrity, whistleblower documents reveal that BBC Arabic deliberately downplayed Israeli suffering in the Gaza war while racing to air unverified, Hamas-sourced claims designed to cast the Jewish state as the villain. The memo, written by Michael Prescott, a former adviser to the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines Committee, accuses the Arabic service of systemic bias, misinformation, and a shocking tolerance of antisemitic voices.
According to the report, BBC Arabic repeatedly parroted Hamas talking points while omitting or minimizing Israel’s perspective — even when evidence contradicted militant propaganda. Allegations against Israel were rushed to broadcast “without adequate checks,” suggesting not mere carelessness but, as Prescott wrote, “a desire always to believe the worst about Israel.”
The BBC’s English-language coverage told one story; its Arabic wing, quite another. In July 2024, after Hezbollah rockets killed nine children in the Israeli town of Majdal Shams, the BBC’s English site mentioned the victims and Israel’s retaliation. BBC Arabic? It omitted the children’s deaths entirely, highlighted Hezbollah’s denials, and the next day suggested Israel might have faked the attack.
Prescott’s letter accuses BBC Arabic of providing a platform to extremists who openly glorify violence against Jews. One contributor, Samer Elzaenen — who once posted “We shall burn you as Hitler did” — appeared on the network 244 times. Another, Ahmed Alagha, who called Jews “devils” and “not human beings,” appeared more than 500 times. Yet BBC executives defended these individuals as “eyewitnesses,” not staff reporters. Prescott wasn’t buying it: “Most viewers would consider hundreds of appearances… to amount to being part of the BBC’s reporting team.”
The report also blasted the BBC for amplifying Hamas propaganda about Gaza’s death toll, long after the United Nations revised down its own inflated statistics. BBC Arabic continued to treat Hamas-run agencies as credible sources, even after internal reviewers warned that claims of Israeli “mass graves” and “genocide” lacked any independent verification.
In one instance, BBC coverage suggested Israeli forces buried thousands of Palestinians in hospital courtyards — a narrative later disproven, as the graves were dug by Palestinians themselves. Another blunder involved a claim that 14,000 babies were “hours from starvation,” when the real number referred to children at risk over a year. The BBC quietly corrected the article online — but repeated the falsehood the same night on “Newsnight.”
Perhaps most damning, the BBC misreported that the International Court of Justice had ruled Israel’s war a “plausible genocide.” That was false — and took months to correct. Former BBC television director Danny Cohen condemned the leadership’s response: “Having made such serious and misleading errors, BBC executives chose to hide them from the public rather than correct the record.”
When internal reviewers flagged these issues, senior managers brushed them aside. Jonathan Munro, the BBC’s news content chief, praised BBC Arabic’s “exceptional journalism” and even bragged it was “almost as trusted as Al Jazeera.” Prescott shot back: “Is Al Jazeera the new gold standard? The BBC exists to reflect British values — not echo Qatar’s propaganda outlet.”
The scandal follows another major credibility crisis for the corporation — a Panorama documentary that doctored a Donald Trump speech to make it appear he incited the Capitol riot. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and media regulator Ofcom now face growing calls to launch a full investigation into the BBC’s bias and editorial collapse.
As the memo concludes, “The BBC is prone to claiming it gets equal complaints from both sides. But looking at the evidence, it’s hard to argue the BBC is biased toward Israel. Quite the opposite.”
At a time when Britain’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster is supposed to counter global disinformation, it is helping Hamas craft its narrative and eroding trust in one of the nation’s most sacred institutions.

NBC international correspondent Daniele Hamamdjian went all in on the anti-Israel propaganda as she covered the still-unfolding peace deal between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Hamamdjian claimed — during a segment that ran around 1:30 a.m. ET — that Palestinians were at least able to return to &#8220;their land,&#8221; land she said they had &#8220;fought for — for — for decades.&#8221; She also referred to Palestinian prisoners — some of whom she described as convicted murderers and violent criminals — as &#8220;hostages&#8221; held by Israel.

&#8220;October 31st, 2023, I remember distinctly, a UN official already describing Gaza as a graveyard for Palestinian children and here we are two years later, nearly 20,000 children dead and much needed aid,&#8221; she began, parroting the death toll promoted by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.
&#8220;They have nothing to go back to, but they have their land. And for Palestinians, boy, that is what they have fought for — for — for decades,&#8221; she continued, and she went on to describe the situation outside Ofer prison, where a number of Palestinian prisoners were set to be released as part of the peace deal brokered by President Donald Trump.

&#8220;As part of this hostages for prisoners exchange, we will see 2,000 Palestinians released from prison. Who are they? Let&#8217;s start with right here, 250 security prisoners, convicted murderers serving multiple life sentences,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Some of them will be sent to Gaza. Some of them will be deported to third countries. Some of them will go to East Jerusalem.&#8221;
&#8220;Now, we&#8217;ve seen family members of those hostages trickle in to the city of Bethania, which is where I am, and they don&#8217;t know how long it&#8217;s going to take,&#8221; she said, referring to the prisoners as &#8220;hostages.&#8221;
&#8220;In the past, it&#8217;s taken in some cases hours. And they were released in the middle of the night. In some cases, it&#8217;s happened quite quickly. So it might be a very long day here,&#8221; she explained before pivoting back to attack Israel for holding some of the prisoners.
&#8220;But over to Gaza, 1,700 Palestinians detained in Gaza will be released. They are in some cases minors, doctors, nurses, journalists who have never been charged. It&#8217;s really important for people to remember that they&#8217;ve been held under what&#8217;s called administrative detention. It&#8217;s a controversial practice that allows Israel to detain people for an indefinite period of time without charging them,&#8221; she said. &#8220;These people do not know why they have been detained and so, in the eyes of many Palestinians, you ask them, they consider those people held without charge also as hostages. And Palestinian officials will tell you that they believe Israel has been arresting them, arresting as many as they can to gather to amass as many bargaining chips as possible for these negotiations.&#8221;

A man who expressed anti-Israel views and called Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro a “monster” pleaded guilty to all charges on Tuesday morning after firebombing the Governor’s Residence in April.
Cody Balmer, 38, pleaded guilty to charges of attempted homicide and terrorism, along with dozens of arson-related charges, The Philadelphia Inquirer <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/crime/cody-balmer-arson-guilty-plea-josh-shapiro-mansion-fire-20251014.html">reported</a>. Balmer was sentenced to 25 to 50 years in prison.
Balmer scaled the property fence and broke into the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence at around 2:00 a.m. on April 13, shortly after Shapiro — who is Jewish — finished celebrating Passover with his family. The arsonist lit multiple homemade incendiary devices and threw them on the floor inside the home as Shapiro and his family slept, security footage shows. Balmer then fled the property.

After the blaze erupted, the governor and his family were awakened by state troopers and escaped unharmed. The fire damaged much of the home, costing more than $7 million to repair, the Inquirer reported.
Hours after he set the fire, Balmer called police and admitted to the attack, saying that he would not “take part in [Shapiro’s] plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/arsonist-arrested-for-attack-on-josh-shapiro-hated-israel-911-call-reveals">reported</a>. Balmer told authorities that he strongly disagreed with Shapiro’s stance on the war between Israel and Hamas and admitted that he would have beaten Shapiro with a hammer if he had encountered the governor during his rampage, according to police documents.

Balmer had past run-ins with law enforcement, and his mother said that he is “mentally ill and he went off his medication.” In 2023, police responded to a call from Balmer’s home, and he reportedly told police that he attempted suicide with a “bottle full of pills” and got into a fight with his wife and 13-year-old son. His wife alleged that Balmer hit the teenager and punched her in the face and bit her. He was charged with three counts of simple assault at the time.
Last year, as Shapiro was on the shortlist of potential running mates for then-Vice President Kamala Harris, the governor faced intense criticism from many on the Left for his stance on the war in Gaza. Harris ultimately skipped over Shapiro and selected Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz. Shapiro maintained that he was not passed over due to any form of antisemitism within the party.
Balmer’s social media activity shows that he expressed a range of leftist beliefs, while also criticizing former President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/14/us-news/cody-balmer-suspected-josh-shapiro-arsonist-pictured/">reported</a>.

California State University, Northridge, is facing a wrongful termination lawsuit from an employee who alleges he was fired “because of his political views against antisemitism and advocacy on behalf of Jewish students and faculty.”
Sam Lingrosso, the university&#8217;s former Director of Academic Employees Relations, says in a <a href="https://peterlawgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2025-08-11-First-Amended-Complaint_Conformed-4.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaint</a> that his December 2024 firing was the result of his efforts to assist Jewish faculty who raised safety concerns related to on-campus antisemitism in the wake of Hamas&#8217;s October 7 attack on Israel, especially near its one-year anniversary. According to a news release, Lingrosso is seeking damages under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
“CSUN had a duty to protect their Jewish faculty members and ensure a safe learning environment, free of threats and harassment,” Eyal Farahan, an attorney with the Peter Law Group, which filed the complaint, said in a statement. “Sam’s work should have been celebrated but, instead, he was unlawfully terminated in violation of multiple California statutes that protect employees from harassment.”
The 2023 attacks led to a surge in anti-Israel activism and antisemitic incidents on college campuses throughout the United States. The demonstrations, which ranged from encampments to protests, raised major red flags for Jewish students and staff on those campuses.
In the complaint, it outlines how Lingrosso asked campus police to “facilitate a safety plan” for a professor who raised concerns about “unsettling remarks written on posters he had displayed outside his office depicting American hostages in Israel” and voiced concerns that Jewish students had of “harassment or violence” in the wake of “pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus.”
Attorneys for the plaintiff wrote in the complaint that Interim Associate Vice President for Faculty Affairs Christina L. Von Mayrhauser had given “unwarranted criticism” and undermined Lingrosso, saying it was “a direct consequence of Plaintiff’s proactive efforts to protect the safety and well-being of Jewish faculty and students.” In one incident, the aforementioned professor sent an email to &#8220;Jewish faculty and allies&#8221; thanking Lingrosso for his efforts to improve address safety concerns, but Von Mayrhauser allegedly took issue with a line in the professor&#8217;s message.
&#8220;The contrast between Plaintiff’s decisive actions and others’ inaction — particularly in Professor Katz’s statement that Plaintiff &#8216;has been focused on DOING things rather than talking about them&#8217; — was interpreted by Von Mayrhauser as a direct affront to her leadership. Her reaction was marked by visible displeasure and indignation, as she viewed the email as an attack on her authority and an attempt to undermine her credibility within the institution,&#8221; the complaint states.
Farahan added that campus leadership &#8220;failed to take meaningful action to confront hate and ultimately fostered a climate of indifference and fear&#8221; amid serious antisemitism woes at universities nationwide.
The university disagreed with the claims made in the lawsuit in a statement to The Daily Wire on Monday afternoon.
“California State University, Northridge is aware of a legal complaint filed by a former at-will employee. These spurious allegations are completely unfounded and the University will vigorously defend against them. The University remains committed to maintaining an inclusive and supportive environment for our entire campus community,&#8221; the university said in a statement.

A pro-Palestinian agitation group that celebrated the murder of two Israeli Embassy staff members in May should be classified as a foreign terrorist organization, a watchdog organization told Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The Zachor Legal Institute said Tuesday that the radical group Unity of Fields should be considered a terrorist organization, according to a copy of a complaint sent to Rubio obtained by The Daily Wire. Unity of Fields, previously known as Palestine Action US, is an organization that has called for police officers to be set on fire and encouraged anti-Israel protesters to commit crimes.
Unity of Fields &#8220;is a foreign entity that engages in terrorism and threatens the security of the United States, its institutions, and its people. By promoting terrorism, vandalism, engaging in various acts of violence, and by inciting violence against various targets including law enforcement, police, universities, individuals, and others, UoF has met the criteria to be designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization,” a draft of the complaint said.
“Treating UoF as the terrorist group will enable the full force and assets of the United States government to dismantle the organization and its leaders and prevent them from wreaking havoc against their many targets throughout our country in the future,&#8221; the complaint added.
Shortly after Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered outside the Israeli Embassy in May, Unity of Fields referred to the killing as an act of “love for the Palestinian people.” The suspected killer was a man named Elias Rodriguez.
“What Elias Rodriguez did was an act of solidarity and love for the Palestinian people. If this seems crazy and unhinged to you, ask yourself why you are so well adjusted to a constant stream of disemboweled and starving children—made possible by the country in which you reside,” the organization <a href="https://x.com/unityoffields/status/1925907082009596089" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>.
It later posted a picture of Rodriguez and called for action to &#8220;bring the war home!&#8221; and to &#8220;Globalize the intifada!&#8221;

In other social media posts, Unity of Fields <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-854132" target="_blank" rel="noopener">referred</a> to police responding to a riot at the University of Washington as “pigs” and suggested that they be set on fire.
Included in the complaint from the Zachor Institute is an “underground manual” that encourages people to spray paint private property, break windows, break into buildings, and damage property. The manual, from Palestine Action, was distributed at a New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
“Dream up crazy ideas in your cell, remember that your action is to destrupt [sic], damage or destroy your target,” the manual says. “Try not limit your action based on whats been done before. Remind yourself when brainstorming different ideas, what could I do to be creative?”

The manual also encouraged people to build a &#8220;cell&#8221; and how to research &#8220;a target&#8221; before staging an action. It instructed people how to &#8220;destroy all evidence&#8221; after committing acts of vandalism as well.

Unity of Fields was modeled after Palestine Action, an organization that has been labeled a terrorist organization in the United Kingdom.
During his time in the Senate, Rubio <a href="https://x.com/senmarcorubio/status/1846946478171828455?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> the Department of Justice to investigate Unity of Fields for “acts of domestic terrorism.”
“As Secretary Rubio aptly <a href="https://x.com/SenMarcoRubio/status/1846946478171828455" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a> last November, Unity of Fields is a violent, dangerous organization directly related to the U.K.-designated foreign terror organization Palestine Action,” Marc Greendorfer of Zachor Legal Institute told The Daily Wire. “This moment in time demands action be taken to protect against further political violence by labeling Unity of Fields itself as a foreign terror organization.”

Wikipedia editors have frozen in place a passage labeling Zionism as ethnic cleansing, blocking changes for at least a year.
On August 27, 2025, the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform launched an investigation into the Wikimedia Foundation to examine potential foreign manipulation of Wikipedia, especially content related to Israel and antisemitism. The investigation followed reports of coordinated editorial activity by a network of approximately 40 Wikipedia editors, dubbed the “Gang of 40,” accused of systematically inserting anti-Zionist and anti-Israel narratives into thousands of Wikipedia articles.
</div>
<div>
Ashley Rindsberg, in an October 2024 <a href="https://www.piratewires.com/p/how-wikipedia-s-pro-hamas-editors-hijacked-the-israel-palestine-narrative">report</a>, revealed how pro-Hamas Wikipedia editors push propaganda, scrub damaging details about Hamas, and tilt narratives against Israel. As she notes in <a href="https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/wiki-wars">Tablet</a>, these editors — many foreign nationals, some allegedly tied to Iranian interests — have racked up more than 850,000 edits across 10,000 articles, dramatically reshaping what the public reads about Zionism. A key controversy centers on a sentence added to the lead paragraph of Wikipedia’s “Zionism” article: “Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible.” This equates Zionism with ethnic cleansing, which was framed as fact in Wikipedia’s neutral “wikivoice.”
</div>
<div>
After a flawed internal dispute process, efforts to challenge the sentence were rejected. Although Wikipedia’s policies require neutrality and rigorous content standards, the “Gang of 40” allegedly exploited Wikipedia’s procedures to push through their preferred version, according to Rindsberg. The resulting Request for Comment (RfC) was closed by an administrator who later admitted to lacking expertise and misapplying site governance policies. A 12-month moratorium was then imposed, freezing the disputed content until February 2026.
</div>
<div>
This moratorium locks the ideologically-driven narrative into the article. The move may have been designed to preserve the sentence until the banned editors could appeal their sanctions and return to editing.
</div>
<div>
Rindsberg notes that several key editors have histories of downplaying Iranian human rights abuses or pushing disinformation aligned with Iranian regime interests. Editor “Iskandar323” allegedly removed references to Iranian atrocities and promoted narratives hostile to dissident groups.
</div>
<div>
Wikipedia’s editorial integrity and its role in shaping public discourse are in question. With AI tools and search engines relying heavily on Wikipedia data, the impact of the manipulation could dominate the digital knowledge ecosystem.
“Profound, a company helping brands monitor and influence their presence in AI search engines, has analyzed 30 million citations across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity from August 2024 to June 2025,” CyberNews <a href="https://cybernews.com/news/chatgpt-wikipedia-google-reddit/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> in June. “OpenAI’s ChatGPT shows a clear preference for Wikipedia, which accounts for nearly half (47.9%) of its top citations within its top 10 most-cited sources.”

“Profound, a company helping brands monitor and influence their presence in AI search engines, has analyzed 30 million citations across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity from August 2024 to June 2025,” CyberNews <a href="https://cybernews.com/news/chatgpt-wikipedia-google-reddit/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">reported</a> in June. “OpenAI’s ChatGPT shows a clear preference for Wikipedia, which accounts for nearly half (47.9%) of its top citations within its top 10 most-cited sources.”
“Multiple studies and reports have highlighted efforts to manipulate information on the Wikipedia platform for propaganda aimed at Western audiences,” The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform wrote in a <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/082725-letter-to-Wikimedia.pdf">letter</a> to Maryana Iskander, the CEO of the Wikipedia Foundation.  “One recent report raised troubling questions about potentially systematic efforts to advance antisemitic and anti-Israel information in Wikipedia articles related to conflicts with the State of Israel. A second investigation detailed actions by hostile nation-state actors to expose Western audiences to pro-Kremlin and anti-Western messaging by manipulating Wikipedia articles and other news outlets relied on for training AI chatbots.”
A comprehensive October 2024 <a href="https://www.piratewires.com/p/how-wikipedia-s-pro-hamas-editors-hijacked-the-israel-palestine-narrative">report</a> delineated how pro-Hamas editors at Wikipedia were promoting pro-Palestinian propaganda, erasing vital information about Hamas, and biasing the narrative against Israel. An April 2025 <a href="https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/exposing-pravda-how-pro-kremlin-forces-are-poisoning-ai-models-and-rewriting-wikipedia/">report</a> titled, “Exposing Pravda: How pro-Kremlin forces are poisoning AI models and rewriting Wikipedia,” showed how pro-Kremlin, anti-Western propaganda was being pushed on the site.
Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia, <a href="https://jewishwebsite.com/featured/house-panel-probing-organized-efforts-to-distort-wikipedia-including-entries-on-israel/107583/">expressed his gratitude</a> that the Committee was launching an investigation, saying, “I am glad that Congress is investigating the use of foreign and U.S. government funds to pay for biased editing on Wikipedia. &#8230; There is clearly massive support for this sort of investigation.”
Sanger said Wikipedia “makes broad editorial decisions about what constitutes reliable sources, which must be respected by large numbers of participants. &#8230; The Wikipedia Foundation could address the situation but does not.”  He noted that the Wikipedia Foundation also “refuses to reveal the identity of its most powerful editors or to override decisions by editors.”

Trump Goes To War With Wikipedia Over Political Slant

In yet another attempt to vilify Israel by claiming they are starving Gazans, the BBC published an <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce87n455dvxo">article</a> initially titled, “Malnourished Gaza woman flown to Italy dies in hospital.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Israel helps evacuate cancer sufferer from Gaza to Italy. She dies there of leukaemia. BBC suggests Israel starved her to death. To the BBC, even cancer is Israel’s fault.<a href="https://t.co/9EbFskcHm4">https://t.co/9EbFskcHm4</a> <a href="https://t.co/3f2YJ2qQwL">pic.twitter.com/3f2YJ2qQwL</a>

The article revolved around Marah Abu Zuhri, and the article began, “A Gazan woman who was evacuated to Italy for treatment while severely emaciated has died in hospital.”
The article continued, “The University Hospital of Pisa said she suffered a cardiac arrest and died on Friday, less than 48 hours after arriving. It said she had a ‘very complex clinical picture’ and had suffered severe loss of weight and muscle. Italian news agencies reported she was suffering from severe malnutrition.”
In the fourth paragraph, the BBC finally acknowledged, “Cogat, the Israeli military body in charge of aid, said on Sunday that she had suffered from leukaemia.”
But then the BBC returned to this: “The UN has warned of widespread malnutrition in Gaza, with experts backed by the organisation warning last month in a report that the ‘worst-case scenario’ of famine is playing out in Gaza.”
The BBC made sure to vilify Israel’s war effort, writing, The statement came days after Israel&#8217;s government announced troops would occupy Gaza City. Several days of heavy bombardment of the Zeitoun, the largest district in the city, have since followed. A spokesperson for the municipality told the BBC that the situation in Zeitoun was ‘catastrophic,’ with mass displacement taking place after six days of relentless Israeli air strikes, shelling and demolition operations.”
And as expected, the BBC followed by twice quoting the Hamas-run Gaza Health ministry as to the number of casualties.

Last month, a leaked internal memo at the BBC revealed the news corporation instructed its staff to slant its reporting of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza to vilify Israel and the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is trying to feed the citizens, a new report stated.
As Jonathan Sacerdoti of The Spectator <a href="https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-leaked-email-that-blows-apart-the-bbcs-impartiality-claims-over-gaza/">reported</a>, “A leaked internal email from a BBC executive editor reveals that the Corporation has issued prescriptive instructions to staff on how to cover the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The memo, titled ‘Covering the food crisis in Gaza,’ amounts to a top-down editorial diktat that discards impartiality, elevates one side of a deeply contested narrative, and imposes a specific anti-Israel legal-political framing as settled fact.”
The email was sent on Friday, June 25. It commenced by contending that “the argument over how much aid has crossed into Gaza is irrelevant,” while enjoining the staff that “we should say” the current distribution system “doesn’t work.”
“It explicitly favours a particular explanation of suffering in Gaza: one that blames the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a relatively new aid body established with US and Israeli cooperation, while glossing over the role of Hamas, the rulers of Gaza and a proscribed terrorist organisation under British law,” Sacerdoti wrote, adding that by arguing that the amount of aid doesn’t matter, the BBC ignores that Hamas has been widely reported to be hijacking, obstructing, or reselling aid.
“The BBC’s memo labels the GHF system a failure and instructs staff to say so,” Sacerdoti reports, pointing out, “The BBC – which declined to comment on the email – appears content to accept casualty figures and starvation claims from Hamas-linked bodies or sympathetic NGOs as definitive, while dismissing or omitting Israeli data and counterclaims. The email directs staff to reference ‘mounting evidence’ of starvation and deaths around aid centres, yet makes no mention of Hamas operatives looting convoys, obstructing access, or even firing on civilians attempting to collect food – allegations which have been made publicly by Israel and backed at times by video and eyewitness testimony.”
In March, the BBC once again displayed its inveterate hostility toward Israel, as a producer for the network contacted the Israeli Embassy in London and asked if it could supply &#8220;an Israeli military voice&#8221; who would &#8220;be critical of&#8221; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s military offensive against Hamas.
Orly Goldschmidt, the spokesperson for the Israeli Embassy, published the message that requested the anti-Netanyahu guest. It read:
<blockquote>
Hi, (redacted) this is (redacted) from Newshour on the World Service. Our presenter (redacted) would like to interview a (sic) an Israeli military voice (can be former) about the latest ground offensive in Gaza. We want someone who is going to be critical of Netanyahu and the ground offense (concern about remaining hostages, stretching the IDF capacity, destruction of Gaza or any other reason). Do you think you could help with this? Thank you. 
</blockquote>
The message ended with a praying hands emoji.

BBC Claims Gazan Woman With Cancer Died Of Malnutrition

BBC Anti-Israel Bias Rears Head Again: Insinuate Cancer Sufferer Died From Israeli Starvation

Columbia University has agreed to pay out an undisclosed sum of money to two janitors who were verbally harassed, physically assaulted, and held hostage during the anti-Israel protests that swept across the campus in the months after the October 7th massacre in Israel.
Lester Wilson and Mario Torres filed a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/columbia-university-janitors-settle-case-being-held-hostage-anti-israel-rioters-campus">civil rights complaint</a> against the school after they were caught up in the student-led siege of Hamilton Hall — and barricaded inside the building with protesters who assaulted them, threatened them with violence, and called them &#8220;Jew lovers.&#8221;
“The university set up the situation and ended up putting them into that situation, now the issue is holding accountable those who carried it out and were responsible for the takeover and the assault,” <a href="https://brandeiscenter.com/columbia-university-janitors-ucla-jewish-community-members-sue-orgs-behind-encampments/">Brandeis Center</a> president Alyza Lewin said of their case.

Trump announced earlier in the week that Columbia University had agreed to pay a penalty to the federal government: $220 million, $20 million of which was to go &#8220;to their Jewish employees who were unlawfully targeted and harassed.&#8221;
Despite the fact that neither Wilson nor Torres is Jewish, they are expected to take their settlement from the $20 million designated to go to employees who were &#8220;unlawfully targeted&#8221; by the protests — most of whom were Jewish.
Both Wilson and Torres had been with the university for five years, and according to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/24/us-news/columbia-janitors-trapped-attacked-by-anti-israel-mob-settle-for-undisclosed-amount/">report</a> published Thursday by The New York Post, have not been able to return to work since the student takeover of Hamilton Hall. Both state that they were injured during the protests.
According to the initial complaint, Torres stated that a masked protester had approached him, saying, &#8220;I’m going to get twenty guys up here to f–k you up.&#8221;
Torres said that he had responded by grabbing a fire extinguisher, which he intended to use in self-defense if necessary, and said, &#8220;I’ll be right here.&#8221;
He said that protesters later beat him, striking his back before he was able to escape the building. Wilson, who also eventually escaped Hamilton Hall, said that he was attacked with piece of furniture.
Prior to the protests, both men reported multiple instances of graffiti — including swastikas — inside Hamilton Hall.
&#8220;Mr. Wilson recognized the swastikas as symbols of white supremacy. As an African-American man, he found the images deeply distressing. He reported them to his supervisors, who instructed him to erase the graffiti,&#8221; he alleged in the complaint. &#8220;No matter how many times Mr. Wilson removed the swastikas, individuals kept replacing them with more.&#8221;
Torres said that he eventually began to throw away chalk that he found left behind in classrooms, saying that he did not want to leave potential vandals anything to write with.

Columbia U Forced To Pay Off Janitors Who Were Held Hostage By Anti-Israel Protesters

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night that Columbia University would pay the federal government $200 million in a settlement over its handling of anti-Israel protests. 
In addition to the penalty paid to the federal government, Trump said the university would pay $20 million to its Jewish employees “who were unlawfully targeted and harassed.” In exchange, the Trump administration will unfreeze federal funding and close down several investigations into the Ivy League university.  
“I am pleased to announce that the Trump Administration has reached a historic agreement with Columbia University. Columbia has agreed to pay a penalty of $200 Million Dollars to the United States Government for violating Federal Law, in addition to over $20 Million to their Jewish employees who were unlawfully targeted and harassed. Columbia has also committed to ending their ridiculous DEI policies, admitting students based ONLY on MERIT, and protecting the Civil Liberties of their students on campus,” Trump posted on Truth Social. 
“Numerous other Higher Education Institutions that have hurt so many, and been so unfair and unjust, and have wrongly spent federal money, much of it from our government, are upcoming,” Trump added. “It’s a great honor to have been involved, and I want to thank and congratulate Secretary Linda McMahon, and all those who worked with us on this important deal. I also want to thank and commend Columbia University for agreeing to do what is right. I look forward to watching them have a great future in our Country, maybe greater than ever before!”
In the <a href="https://president.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/July%202025%20Announcement/Columbia%20University%20Resolution%20Agreement.pdf">settlement</a>, Columbia agreed to review its Middle East-related programs and task its senior vice provost with making recommendations to university leaders about “ways to improve and support Jewish students.” Columbia said in a statement that it does &#8220;not admit to wrongdoing with this resolution agreement&#8221; but recognized that &#8220;Jewish students and faculty have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents.&#8221;
The settlement also includes a provision prohibiting the university from creating DEI programs. 
“Columbia shall not maintain programs that promote unlawful efforts to achieve race-based outcomes, quotas, diversity targets, or similar efforts. For example, Columbia will not provide benefits or advantages to individuals on the basis of protected characteristics in any school, component, division, department, foundation, association or element within the entire Columbia University system,” the settlement says. 
Admission to the university must also be based on merit, and the university is prohibited from using any proxy, such as a diversity narrative included in an application, for racial preferences, according to the settlement. Columbia will be required to provide a breakdown of students it has accepted and rejected, including data on race, GPA, and standardized test scores, to ensure compliance with the settlement. 
Columbia also agreed to hire employees based only on individual qualifications and academic and professional merit, and to ensure that women had access to all female housing, sports teams, locker rooms, and showering facilities. 
“This agreement marks an important step forward after a period of sustained federal scrutiny and institutional uncertainty,” said acting University President Claire Shipman. “The settlement was carefully crafted to protect the values that define us and allow our essential research partnership with the federal government to get back on track.”
The settlement comes just days after Columbia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-hits-dozens-of-students-with-suspensions-expulsions-for-anti-israel-campus-takeovers">suspended</a> or expelled more than 70 students, including many who participated in the storming of the university library during anti-Israel protests.

Former Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) challenged the United Nations over policy positions that coddle Communist China and unfairly attack Israel, saying that if he is confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, he will work to change that and &#8220;make the UN great again.&#8221;
Waltz delivered his opening statement on Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and he argued — among other things — that the United Nations should no longer treat China as a &#8220;developing nation&#8221; when it boasts the world&#8217;s second-largest economy.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After offering thanks to his family and military colleagues for their support, Waltz jumped immediately to how his experience as a Green Beret veteran would inform his ability to work within the United Nations and advance President Donald Trump&#8217;s agenda and vision within the global body.
Referencing his prior field experience with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Waltz noted that often the money and resources were mismatched — and said that he would direct efforts toward correcting those imbalances wherever possible.
Waltz went on to say that many Americans had become disillusioned with the United Nations, arguing that it had &#8220;drifted from its core mission&#8221; — and that a refocusing was in order. &#8220;We must return to the UN&#8217;s charter and first principles &#8230; and focus on peacekeeping, not nation-building.&#8221;
&#8220;Countering China, absolutely &#8230; is critical,&#8221; he continued, promising to work alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio to &#8220;challenge&#8221; China&#8217;s influence. &#8220;It’s absurd that the world’s second-largest economy is treated as a developing nation in most UN agencies that gives China favorable status.&#8221;
Waltz concluded by saying that it was equally important to push back against the &#8220;pervasive&#8221; antisemitism in the United Nations, pointing out the fact that in just the last decade alone, the General Assembly had passed &#8220;154 resolutions against Israel versus 71 against all other nations combined.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m confident under [Trump&#8217;s] leadership, we can continue to spread peace and prosperity — and I&#8217;m confident we can Make the U.N. Great Again,&#8221; he said.
