Discontent Deepens Among Guardian Staff Over Palestine ‘Double Standard’ | Novara Media

Staff say the paper’s decision to permit Howard Jacobson’s controversial piece while censoring a leading Palestinian author is driven in part by a fear of antisemitism allegations. Rivkah Brown...

The UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water, and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected.
