In 1948, Australian Labor foreign minister Doc Evatt was instrumental in convincing the United Nations to recognize Israel. Today the ALP continues his legacy by ignoring Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people.
New York City’s corporate-friendly mayor, Eric Adams, is plummeting in the polls amid unpopular budget cuts and a stream of scandals. But the Left will have to unite behind a pro-worker candidate — because neoliberal Andrew Cuomo is waiting in the wings.
