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.

" '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."
