This week on CounterSpin: As we record on December 7, the news from Gaza continues horrific: The Washington Post is reporting ([link removed]) , citing Gaza Health Ministry reports, that Israel’s continued assault throughout the region has killed at least 350 people in the past 24 hours, which brings the death toll of the Israeli military campaign, launched after the October 7 attack by Hamas that killed a reported 1,200 people, to more than 17,000.

In this country, Columbia University has suspended ([link removed]) two student groups protesting in support of Palestinian human rights and human beings, though the official message ([link removed]) couldn’t specify which policies, exactly, had been violated.

There are many important and terrible things happening in the world right now—from fossil fuel companies working to undo any democratic restraints on their ability to profit from planetary destruction; to drugmakers who’ve devastated the lives of millions using the legal system to say money, actually, can substitute for accountability; to an upcoming election that is almost too much to think about ([link removed]) , and the Beltway press corps acting like it’s just another day ([link removed]) .

But the devastation of Gaza and the vehement efforts to silence anyone who wants to challenge it—and the failure of those efforts, as people nevertheless keep speaking up, keep protesting—is the story for today.

Sonya Meyerson-Knox is communications director of Jewish Voice for Peace ([link removed]) . We talk with her this week on CounterSpin.
