The New York War Crimes

MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING CAPITALISM
About this episode

In this episode Josh interviews Amba Guerguerian and Harry to discuss the New York War Crimes project and their efforts to get people to Boycott, Divest, and Unsubscribe from the New York Times.

Amba Guerguerian is an associate editor at The Indypendent  and a contributor at The New York War Crimes

Harry is a writer, educator and organizer with Writers against the War on Gaza and a contributor at The New York War Crimes

The New York War Crimes is a project dedicated to de legitimizing the imperial mouthpiece that is The New York Times through focused contemporary and historical critique, while providing an alternative platform for Palestinian and Arab authors, poets and artists — precisely what you won’t find in the pages of The Times.
