WATCH: Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the anti-Semitic protests that have rocked Columbia University, says "we" couldn't have avoided Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre.
"It felt frightening that we had to reach this moment in the Palestinian struggle," he said. "We couldn't avoid such a moment."
Later on, Khalil said the attack had to happen "to break the cycle," given that a "Saudi-Israel deal" was "very imminent."

If you read carefully, this is an admission of a remarkable deception. They ran a story about malnutrition but didn't include the context that the malnutrition is not caused by a lack of food, but by a pre-existing condition, a disease that affects the child's ability to thrive.
We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.
ALT Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York Times reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story about Gaza’s most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, who is about 18 months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. We have since learned new information, including from the hospital that treated him and his medical records, and have updated our story to add context about his pre-existing health problems. This additional detail gives readers a greater understanding of his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from Gaza, bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war.

To write this tweet and *not* say who was murdered takes serious effort.
Absolutely nothing justifies the murder of innocents. I am devastated by the killing of two people outside an @AJCGlobal event here in Washington. Our prayers are with the victims, families, and loved ones of all impacted.
As we await more details, we must be clear that hatred has no home here. Antisemitism is a threat to all we hold dear as a society. It must be confronted and rooted out everywhere.

This is claim is flatly false, which you can tell if you click the link, read the actual quote or listen to the podcast. The claim as rendered is a reconstruction of separate quotes to make a point that Charlie never himself made. Didn't even come close to.
At the supporting link, contra its misleading headline, he didn't advocate protecting "white demographics." He advocated protecting the southern border.
What Charlie actually said in full is below. His thought process, regardless of whether you agree with it, or think it's a great or terrible idea, was clear.
1) There's an invasion at the border
2) deputize a citizen force to the border
3) And, by the way, the "other side has openly admitted that this is about bringing in voters that they want and that they like and honestly, diminishing and decreasing white demographics in America."
This is just a factual point. He didn't advocate what's alleged at the link offered to support it.

A few thoughts on the Hamasnik Op-Ed in the Times.
1) The essay, by an Hamas-appointed mayor, takes as fact claims by the Gaza Health Ministry, which is controlled by Hamas, without disclosing that fact. Seems elementary to disclose that.
2) It mentions a "deadly attack" by Hamas but doesn't condemn it, or even state who was attacked (civilian communities) or what happened (pillaging, arson, rape, murder, taking of hostages back into Gaza).
3) Leaves out important context for Israel's campaign in Gaza: The hostages. Instead, it claims that no "sane person" could do what Israel is doing. You certainly don't need to agree with Israel's aims, but you do need to engage with them. The word "hostage" doesn't appear in the essay.
4) At the end of the essay, the mayor asks, credulously, "Why can't we live in peace and have open borders?"
With proper context, the answer would be too obvious to write that question. Open borders, really?

“The Israeli Authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on 7 October.
“To protect the Agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay. Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution."

“We as Democrats are struggling to maintain the loyalty of minority voters—and Donald Trump, of all people, is forcing us to confront an uncomfortable reality.
As Democrats, we have long believed that the country’s changing demographics would inexorably lead to a lasting majority for our party, rooted in voters of color, reducing the Republican Party to a white, rural relic of a reactionary past. This prediction of permanent Democratic control—built on the permanent loyalty of black and brown voters—was debunked definitively on November 5, 2024.”
