Weekly Roundup - 12/16/24

This week: In partnership with Hyperallergic, we are sharing a curated collection of art that has either been censored by cultural institutions or removed in protest by artists since October 7th, 2023—speaking to the way art exhibitions over the past 14 months have been meaningfully shaped by work not shown.

We are also sharing a piece by editor-at-large Peter Beinart, who discusses the new book Israel Alone by the French philosopher and journalist Bernard-Henri Lévy, and argues that the book exemplifies a liberal Zionist discourse that has fewer and fewer spokespeople willing to go to bat for it.

This fall, public health expert Devi Sridhar estimated that the death toll in Gaza—including indirect death caused by disease and lack of access to basic necessities and medical care—could reach 335,500 by the end of the year. As we approach that devastating milestone, we are resharing a report from January where Israel/Palestine fellow Maya Rosen examines how disease became a deadly second front in Israel’s war.
