If you can’t see that the progressive movement has devolved into what we used to fight, you’re not being an intellectually honest. We have no issue doxing people. We comb through public statements to find things mobs can attack people with every single day. We harass women, we

Since at least 2005, Hezbollah fighters have assassinated a Lebanese prime minister (per a UN Tribunal) and two dozen Lebanese lawmakers, ministers, army and police officers, journalists and activists. In 2008, Hezbollah fighters swept Beirut and Mount Lebanon to punish the

They've got a particularly clever system here in Multan for holding up the advertising boards during the post-match presentations

Today’s The Times and The Sunday Times column is about the self-defeating madness of authors encouraging the boycott of other authors - about Israel, gender, anything Authors are now having their own proxy war thetimes.com/article/900d51…

In terms of the rather crass “did they deserve it” debate, I think the key point is this: on the day after October 7, hundreds celebrated outside the Israeli embassy in London. British Jews did not organise masked gangs to put them in hospital thetimes.com/article/4622c8…

You go ahead and boycott whatever you want to for whatever reasons you think make it right. This is a free country after all. Meanwhile, I’ve reviewed an Israeli restaurant. Israeli food, Israeli culture, Israeli owned. And it was marvellous. thetimes.com/article/1456f7…

I appreciate the solidarity but I have to emphasize that never in my lifetime have I seen such appalling mob-incited unbridled Jew hatred being endorsed and emboldened by one of the most respected institutions in academia. The entire debate was a type of Dreyfus trial and it was

Owen Jones has gone off the rails. His hatred for Israel is a kind of mania. He rages against Israel constantly, damning it as “genocidal” and “uniquely murderous”. Hating Israel has become a lethal obsession of the bourgeois left, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/42ovEhz

Good old The Guardian, urging Jews to celebrate Purim by reflecting on "the evil that Jews commit" and "the danger we pose" to non-Jews... "With the blood of their foes barely dry, the Jews feast and make merry." Happy Purim! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The thing about Jones at Buttmitzvah? For many months his YouTube channel has been responsible for content which (whether he intends it or not) has led to Zionists being alienated and ostracised. And then he decides to go to one of the few places Zionists can still feel welcome.
