British journalist corrects framing of Israeli war at Columbia University
British journalist Mona Chalabi corrected the framing of the Israel-Gaza war to the Israel-Palestine war when she received a Pulitzer Prize at Columbia University. In solidarity with the students of New York University facing suspension and arrest for supporting Palestine, she posted a video recorded in October 2023.
In her brief speech, Chalabi emphasised the reluctance of many attending the ceremony to address the Palestine issue. She noted that although she wasn’t scheduled to give a speech, she found it necessary due to factual inaccuracies.
The British data journalist, illustrator, and writer of Iraqi descent received the prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary from Columbia University President Emeritus Lee Bollinger last October.
On 19 April 2024, she mentioned that she had emailed the President of Columbia in March but had not received a response.
In sharing the video, Chalabi extended her support to student protesters at Columbia University in New York, who organised the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Over 100 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested following its organisation. Several students at Columbia University have also been suspended from the university and its affiliated institutions.
It’s noteworthy that Chalabi won the Prize for her striking illustrations, which blend statistical reporting with insightful analysis. These illustrations provide readers with a deeper understanding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s vast wealth and economic influence.
