Power & Pushback: Activists push Elbit out of Raleigh Activists have successfully pushed Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer out of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Sarah Hurwitz, author and former speechwriter for the Obamas, has suggested that Holocaust education is failing.

For Hurwitz, the problem lies with universal lessons being applied to Israel, an unacceptable outcome in her view.

Journalist Spencer Ackerman responded at Forever Wars, “I feel like I’m going to lose my mind if I don’t address her astonishing remark that Holocaust education in the United States has improperly taught a universal lesson against genocide."

Speaking to the 2025 general assembly of the Jewish Federations of North America, Hurwitz claimed last week that “since October 7 [2023], but really before then, there have been huge shifts in America on how people think about Jews and Israel, and I think that is especially true of young people. So we are now wrestling with a new – I think – generational divide here, and I think that’s particularly true in that social media is now our source of media.”
Social media, notwithstanding all its viciousness, does provide some vital information. Hurwitz dislikes it, however, because social and alternative media also highlight Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza.

News sources other than mainstream corporate media are making an enormous difference in getting a fuller picture of the Gaza reality to the American public.

Having watched hundreds of hours of CNN during the Gaza genocide, I can attest to how frequently the network downplays Palestinian deaths and ignores Palestinian accounts of Israeli war crimes and torture. Younger people are getting a much more unfiltered view of the genocide than older viewers relying on a CNN out of touch with reality and profoundly biased toward Israeli apartheid (which goes almost entirely unmentioned by the network).

🚨 From Barcelona to the World: A Fleet & a Global Day of Action for Gaza 🚨

On 31 August 2025, history was made at the port of Barcelona. The Global Sumud Flotilla, the largest civilian maritime convoy ever, set sail for Gaza with around 20 ships, carrying humanitarian aid and hundreds of international activists, parliamentarians, cultural icons, human rights defenders, and voices of conscience from across the globe. Their mission: not just to break the siege, but to assert the Palestinian people’s right to survival, dignity, and freedom of movement.

And the struggle does not stop at sea. Just days later, on 6 September 2025, the Global Alliance for Palestine has called for a Global Day of Action for Gaza. From London to Lagos, Santiago to Sydney, Cairo to Cape Town, communities across continents will march, hold vigils, art installations, and moments of silence. Together they will demand:
A permanent ceasefire
An end to the blockade
Accountability for violations of international law

This alliance, founded in London this summer, already unites 65+ organisations from 25+ countries with the backing of prominent political and cultural figures. Their message is clear: silence is complicity.

The flotilla and the global day of action are two fronts of the same struggle. One sails across the Mediterranean, challenging the blockade head-on. The other mobilises millions in the streets, pressuring governments and institutions worldwide.

From Barcelona’s waters to the world’s capitals, the call is one:
Gaza must live. Justice cannot wait.

"It's significant and important that no one in this country is taught anything about Palestine” William Dalrymple in conversation with Ash at EartH.
