In this Sunday’s edition (5.18.25), The New York Times published an exposé of the Trump administration’s calculated execution of the Heritage Foundation's "Project Esther" plan to crush growing domestic dissent against Israel’s US-funded genocide in Gaza. The movement for peace and freedom in Palestine must unite with other forces defending the First Amendment in the United States…for the survival of our movement…and the survival of our civil liberties.
