"In those first days of the onslaught, it wasn’t yet clear that wiping out Gaza’s entire healthcare system could conceivably be part of the Israeli plan...And that, of course, would be the narrative that Israeli authorities would continue to push.."
The killing of 7 Palestinian journalists and media workers in Gaza on Aug 10 and 5 more on the 25th has prompted verbal condemnations, yet little to no substantive action. This has become the predictable and horrifying trajectory of the international community’s response to the Israeli genocide.

Mamdani’s opponents are clearly counting on the candidate’s steadfast criticism of Israel and his passionate support for the victims of the genocide in Gaza to drive away Jewish voters. But it’s simply not happening.
Debunking the Myths About Mamdani's Candidacy
Zohran Mamdani’s remarkable campaign for New York mayor has left the Democratic party deeply divided. Moderates and conservatives like James Carville and

I get this instinct but based on years of evidence it has just reinforced the idea that immigration is about public safety (a lie) rather than about labor and seeking refuge. Instead of arguing on their terms it's much more effective to do what Mamdani did when Trump threatened to denaturalize him..
But not saying that allows the public to erroneously believe, as Trump claims, that ICE is going after immigrants in gangs, convicted of violent crimes, etc.

Moreover, "criminals deserve due process" is constitutionally correct but unlikely to change minds. "These people aren't criminals" might.
repeating “ICE aren’t going after criminals like Trump said they would” is a fantastic triple threat of propaganda: it affirms arguments about immigrants as public safety or national security threats, shoring up arguments plenty of Dems parrot, even as it purports to defend some “good” immigrants
Trump’s moves have less to do with policy than power. And his use of ICE raids is the same... The chaos is the point. Having an entire nation hanging on his every word, on his ability to call off ICE raids one day and resume them the next, is what feeds his power.

Why lie, when you know the lie will be exposed as soon as you tell it? Because the lie is the point. The more blatant the lie, the more likely it will be repeated every time it is refuted. Repeat it enough and the libel, no matter how vile, will stick.
