NYC Mayor Mamdani Accused of Minimizing October 7 Atrocities

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is accused of minimizing the October 7 massacre in a commemorative message, allegedly downplaying the number of victims and criticizing Israel's response. The article claims Mamdani failed to acknowledge Hamas's atrocities and instead focused on contextualizing the events and portraying Israelis as aggressors. Critics argue his message reflects an inability to see Israelis as victims and contributes to rising antisemitism in the city.

Fuel Costs Hit Airlines; Delta Cuts Forecast, El Al Benefits from Lack of Competition

Delta Air Lines announced a significant reduction in its profit forecast due to soaring fuel costs, with adjusted earnings projected to be much lower than previously expected. The airline's third-quarter results missed market expectations for the first time in two years. In contrast, Israel's El Al doubled its net profit in the second quarter, benefiting from reduced competition on routes to Israel and its increased market share. While Delta faces challenges passing on fuel costs in the competitive U.S. market, El Al has successfully transferred these costs to passengers.
