How New York Aids the West Bank Occupation w/ Chris Gelardi

On this edition of Parallax Views, journalist Chris Gelardi of New York Focus, the nonprofit publication that asks the questions "Who Runs New York?", joins us to discuss the investigation he co-wrote with Julia Rock entitled "New York’s Ties to Israel Bring the Gaza War Home". Chris and I delve into the network of nonprofits, major companies, and wealthy individuals in New York who are aiding the illegal settlements in the West Bank. Moreover, we delve into NY political figures like Mayor Eric Adams, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Rep. Ritchie Torres and their relationships to Israel and lobbies like AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. Other issues discussed include the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) pro-Palestine protests, the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction) movement and free speech, lack of media coverage in New York about these issues, and much, much more!
