Front Page Magazine: Tens of Thousands of "New Voters" Registered to Vote for Mamdani
Zohram Mamdani's recent electoral success is attributed to low voter turnout and a significant influx of new voters, particularly from communities with names associated with majority Muslim countries. This demographic shift raises questions about the age distribution of voters, as the reported high turnout among 18-25 year-olds appears implausible.
The analysis suggests that organized community voting may be influencing these results, reminiscent of tactics seen in UK elections. Concerns are being raised about the potential for similar strategies to gain traction in the U.S. electoral system.

The Telegraph: Bobby Vylan’s chant was far worse than Lucy Connolly’s tweet. So why is he not in prison?
Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury, where a rapper incited chants of "death to the IDF," has sparked criticism over the lack of action from law enforcement and the Crown Prosecution Service regarding anti-Semitic hate speech. Despite public outcry, authorities appear unlikely to pursue any consequences for the incident.
The festival organizer acknowledged the chants crossed a line, yet the police's response suggests a pattern of inaction towards anti-Semitic rhetoric. This perceived leniency raises concerns about a double standard in the justice system regarding hate speech.

Times Of Israel: Norwegian pension fund drops US, German defense firms from portfolio over Gaza war
Norway’s KLP pension fund has divested from Oshkosh Corporation and ThyssenKrupp for supplying military equipment to Israel, citing concerns over human rights violations. KLP's decision reflects its criteria against complicity in international law breaches amid the ongoing Gaza conflict.
The fund, managing $114 billion, sold its holdings in both companies, emphasizing their continued military cooperation with Israel post-conflict escalation. Meanwhile, Norway's sovereign wealth fund remains under scrutiny but recently rejected calls to divest from firms linked to Israel’s military actions.
