Mexico’s fight for independence is the triumph of a people determined to shape their own future.

Today, I was proud to be the first New York City Mayor to march in Sunset Park’s Mexican Independence Day Parade alongside a community that has fostered cultural pride across generations.

Haaretz alleges Netanyahu was warned by the UAE president about a possible Hamas attack before Oct. 7, which Netanyahu has called “a complete lie.” Now former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says, “I have a good reason to believe that this is absolutely accurate. Maybe one day I’ll have to say it in court.”

A dark blizzard of disinformation is warping the public’s perception of our great city.

But we know the truth: our homicide rate is lower than every major US city, neighbourhood crimes are down and we’ve been ranked #1 city in the world 11 years in a row.

A reminder: Rabbi Mirvis studied in an illegal West Bank settlement between 1976 and 1978.
It is not surprising that for him, today is a dark day.

For many many other Jews in the UK, today's statement is long overdue.

If Palestinians targeted a synagogue in Israel it would be one of the lead stories on every UK news channel.

But the IDF attacking a mosque in the occupied West Bank? Won't get a mention.

NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death.

But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience.

The Times, Telegraph and Mail published 111 articles about Jason Arday.
