Nora Barrows-Friedman, associate editor of The Electronic Intifada, joins the show to discuss Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian Columbia student activist abducted by DHS. Trump’s plan to deport Khalil, a permanent resident and the lead negotiator in Columbia’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment marks a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on the Palestine solidarity movement. Barrows-Friedman puts the crackdown into context as Israel ratchets up its starvation campaign of Gaza.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
