“On June 24, 2024, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Daraj clinic in Gaza City, killing five, including key medical personnel. Recovered from the ensuing rubble was the remnant of a Hellfire missile, strewn amidst the chaos of destruction it unleashed on the clinic in moments prior. The AGM-114 Hellfire, a brand of precision-guided weaponry, is manufactured by Lockheed Martin, funded through U.S. federal contracts, and often purchased by Israel through American foreign military sales. While Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor responsible for manufacturing the Hellfire missile, it procures key components from Mini-Circuits, a company specializing in the manufacture of radio frequency (RF) and microwave components. Headquartered in Brooklyn’s Sheepshead Bay neighborhood, Mini-Circuits operates out of a low-slung, dull, cement-colored building with the company name embossed on a small and faded gray label that’s easy to miss.” Read the rest of Ananya Natchukuri’s dispatch from the protest at the link in our bio.

“With just two weeks left in the race, Zohran Mamdani mayoral campaign held a day-long soccer tournament this past Sunday, October 19. The competition, dubbed the Cost of Living Classic and co-organized by the co-ed adult soccer league NYC Footy, was held at Maimonides Park in Coney Island.

As with the city-wide scavenger hunt and the candidate’s continuous walk down the length of Manhattan on the Friday night before the Democratic primary, bespoke campaign events have come to define Mamdani’s energetic candidacy.” Read the rest of the piece at the link in our bio!

“Trump is expediting his war on “Antifa,” under which he lumps together liberals, leftists, radicals and socialists and anyone else he dislikes. While the actual American anti-fascist movement is currently decentralized, leaderless and small, he targeted Antifa in two sweeping measures in the days before the Chicago raid that suggest it could indeed be a training exercise,” writes . She breaks down the history of the anti-fascist movement in the United States, and where it stands today. Link in our bio or in the new edition of The Indy, hitting the streets soon!

“I am a secular Jew who was very much raised in a Zionist milieu. For most of my life the concept of Israel being anything but a positive good felt inconceivable. Forget supporting Palestine, I didn’t even know there was a Palestine until I was 12 years old and saw horrifying images on my television screen of Gaza being bombed in July 2014. Before that, I only understood the conflict to be between Israel and “Israel’s enemies,” those enemies simply being other Arab states,” writes Cole Sandick.
