The New York War Crimes is a free, printed newspaper, produced by and for the Palestine solidarity movement in New York City. It is distributed in bookstores and bodegas, in subway stations and coffee shops, and at protests and rallies.
Continuing in the tradition of Gran Fury's The New York Crimes (1989), which covered what the so-called “paper of record” ignored and obfuscated during the AIDS crisis, The New York War Crimes has produced thirteen issues to date. What began as a critique of The New York Times' culpability in manufacturing consent for the U.S.-backed Israeli war on Gaza has become a critical mouthpiece of the anti-war, anti-imperialist cultural front.

Published in conjunction with targeted direct actions and on significant dates including May Day, Nakba Day, Juneteenth, Pride, and October 7th, the paper has printed the names of Gaza's martyrs, reprinted seminal historical texts, and published new essays, interviews, poems, and translations. Every issue can be read at newyorkwarcrimes.com.
Expanding upon their latest issue, Vol. III, No. 13, “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood: Revolution Until Victory,” some of the paper’s many editors convene three days of screenings, readings, and conversations reflecting on the last year of resistance against occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
