"The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying." This is a statement from the United Nation's most senior humanitarian official. She could not be more explicit. Her statement is barely covered by the Western media.

In his latest TV appearance, Baron Cohen's Borat character claimed that, in Kazakhstan, Kamala Harris would be arrested and executed for marrying a Jewish man. This is a gross lie played for laughs with a public that has been fed decades of Islamophobic propaganda. In reality, Kazakhstan was a haven for Jews during the Holocaust, the country taking in huge numbers of Jewish people from Eastern Europe. Today, Jewish group praise the country as a model of tolerance. But you know where it is illegal for Kamala Harris to marry a Jew? Baron Cohen's beloved Israel, where inter-faith (i.e. interracial) marriage is strictly prohibited by law.
