The Guardian UK:
"Warner Bros Discovery has rebuked a pledge signed by more than 4,000 film industry figures to not work with Israeli film institutions 'implicated in the genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people', saying that such a pledge would likely violate its internal policies.

In a statement to Variety, a spokesperson said the company 'is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful environment for its employees, collaborators, and other stakeholders'.

It continues: 'Our policies prohibit discrimination of any kind, including discrimination based on race, religion, national origin or ancestry. We believe a boycott of Israeli film institutions violates our policies. While we respect the rights of individuals and groups to express their views and advocate for causes, we will continue to align our business practices with the requirements of our policies and the law.' ”

-Well, the battle to isolate and censure Israel's film industry is certainly news. But not to the NYT, which often leaves stories like this out. Why remind citizens that they can boycott Israeli cinema.

Common Dreams:
" 'The EPA’s illegal termination of Solar for All has left states, communities, and businesses across the country in limbo, with critical projects stalled and vulnerable households facing higher energy costs.' ”

Warning that the US Environmental Protection Agency’s termination of the Solar for All program this year came at an especially inopportune time, with electricity bills soaring for families across the country, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday led 32 members of the Democratic caucus in demanding that the Trump administration restore the program.

The Solar for All initiative, which was spearheaded by Sanders (I-Vt.), was meant to create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs while allowing low-income households to benefit from renewable energy. If EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin had not illegally pulled $7 billion that had already been appropriated by Congress, said the lawmakers, Solar for All would have lowered residential electricity bills by at least 20% for nearly 1 million homes and saved working families nearly $9 billion in electric costs."

" ‘Wow’: Observers Surprised After Dem Moderate Rejects AIPAC Cash. 'AIPAC’s brand is increasingly, perhaps irredeemably toxic,' wrote one observer. A centrist Democratic lawmaker on Thursday surprised many political observers when he announced he would be returning donations he’d received from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), who is running a primary challenge against Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), said that he was rejecting donations from AIPAC because it had aligned itself too closely with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who last year was accused of committing crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court."

Common Dreams:
"Peace Has No Meaning When Right-Wingers Like Maria Corina Machado Win the Nobel Prize. As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention dressed up as democracy.

If this is what counts as 'peace' in 2025, then the prize itself has lost every ounce of credibility.

Machado’s politics are steeped in violence. She has called for foreign intervention, even appealing directly to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the architect of Gaza’s annihilation, to help 'liberate' Venezuela with bombs under the banner of 'freedom.' ”

Common Dreams:
"The Not Above the Law Coalition on Thursday released a report documenting how President Donald Trump’s administration has been corrupting every aspect of federal law enforcement.

The report, titled Trump’s 'Crooked Cops: The Corruption of Federal Law Enforcement,' said that the president has 'gone to extreme lengths to appoint top officials with no compunction about abusing their power to pervert justice to punish political enemies and favor political friends, before showing how these appointees have swiftly eliminated their agencies’ independence from White House political pressure.

'Law enforcement that serves the political interests of the president rather than the public eliminates a core tenet of democracy, namely that we are a country of laws, not of men,' the report emphasizes."

-->The story of Trump subverting justice for political gain is pretty classic. Why can't the NYT come out with these facts. Or is the NYT going to pull a Columbia University, and give the government everything it wants?

The Guardian UK:
"The international community has a legal and moral duty to deny Israel 'the tools of genocide', the Malaysian foreign minister, Mohamad Hasan, said at a meeting in New York of the Hague Group, the growing alliance of countries dedicated to coordinating practical economic and legal steps to isolate Israel over the war in Gaza.

The group, co-chaired by South Africa and Colombia, has become a central exchange for practical steps to try to pressure Israel, including stepping up collective action at ports and airports to prevent the transfer of weapons and goods to Israel, including dual-use heavy machinery.

Brazil last week joined the South African action in the international court of justice accusing Israel of a genocide and said Israel’s claim of self-defence had no application in the context of an occupation. Chile, another group member, has withdrawn its ambassador to Israel."

-->Why is the American press afraid to cover this story? It may be because intricate knowledge of the Gaza genocide implies some responsibility, especially if you are a reporter or photographer.

"The international community has a legal and moral duty to deny Israel 'the tools of genocide', the Malaysian foreign minister, Mohamad Hasan, said at a meeting in New York of the Hague Group, the growing alliance of countries dedicated to coordinating practical economic and legal steps to isolate Israel over the war in Gaza.

Hasan said states also needed to identify the multinational companies found to be enabling Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land.

The group, meeting as world leaders were in New York for the UN general assembly, heard calls to support the aid flotilla trying to break the Israeli siege of Palestine and for Israel to be blocked from international cultural events."

Common Dreams:

"Finnish President Says Security Council Members Who Violate UN Charter Should Lose Voting Rights. 'The composition of the UN still largely reflects the world of 1945,' said Alexander Stubb. 'As the world has changed drastically, so should the decision-making at the UN.'

Finnish President Alexander Stubb on Wednesday renewed his call for expanding the number of permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, abolishing veto power, and stripping voting rights from states that violate the UN Charter.

'Today, the UN is struggling to fulfill its central promise of delivering peace and stability,' Stubb said during his UN General Assembly address. 'Countries have increasingly taken the liberty to break the rules of international law, and to use force to gain other peoples’ territories, and suppress other nations.' ...

Under Stubb’s proposal, all five permanent Security Council members would likely lose voting rights: the United States bombs countries and alleged drug traffickers in violation of international law while backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Russia is invading and occupying Ukraine, Britain and France back Israel’s genocidal war, and China persecutes people within its own borders."

-->The NYT writes a lot about Alexander Stubb, but none of it pertains to the genocide of the Palestinian people. Why is our newspaper of record still protecting Israel?

The Intercept:

"Pro-Palestine student activists across the country have struggled to get their universities to respond to pressure for divestment from Israel and its military–industrial complex. So when a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology withdrew from a grant from the Israeli military after hearing feedback from students protesting the ongoing genocide in Gaza, it was especially welcome news.

'This is one of the only cases where we know that student activism and public pressure led directly to an Israeli tie being cut, let alone a collaboration with its genocidal military,' said Mila Halgren, a postdoctoral associate at MIT. (The university did not respond to a request for comment.) ...

'This concession shows that student campaigns do have an influence,' Halgren said. 'It also shows that these ties cannot survive transparency and public awareness. Student action is not meaningless; despite increased repression, it is more important than ever to resist genocide.' ”

-->Why didn't this story get NYT coverage? Because Israel and the US are afraid of boycotts. And because the NYT is the newspaper of the genocide.
