Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive. But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

China, always a friend in need

An astonishing editorial in Israel's liberal Haaretz paper calling for full western sanctions against Israel and not the feeble entry restrictions on two cabinet ministers announced this week by the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway. You can't imagine anything like

The challenge of climate change is affecting people’s lives and livelihoods and destroying infrastructure. We thank the rescue teams for their response and we will assist the people that have been affected by this disaster.

By avoiding escalation against American bases in the Middle East and by keeping the Straits of Hormuz open for now, Iran is wisely disincentivizing direct American involvement in the war, and also keeping a mighty retaliatory measure in its hands. They are also showing that

Netanyahu hoodwinked Western leaders again! Following their lukewarm criticism of his genocidal campaign in Gaza, he launched an unprovoked attack on Iran to force them to back him, and drop their qualms about his genocide. And they have taken the bait!

This guy has spent the past 20 months defending, promoting, encouraging the bombing of tens of thousands of human beings and homes. People without any shelters. People he still thinks it was right to kill. The lack of self awareness - or is it shamelessness? - is astonishing.

This is Trump's Waterloo. He posed as the Leviathan who would bring a stealthy Peace, a smart Deal that averts a war with Iran. Then, with one more gross violation of international law, Netanyahu puts him in a little box: For either Trump knew of the attack, in which case

I am very happy this baby is safe and hope their family are too, but it is just so mind-blowing to see a state that has killed thousands - LITERALLY THOUSANDS - of babies tweet this without any awareness that this is who *they* are, thousands of times over

Israel has constantly bombed hospitals, schools, towns and villages under the claim that Palestinian fighters launch rockets from between civilians. Last night, Israel affirmed and confirmed to the world that they operate their military bases, defense missiles, and weaponry from

Important read, to assess whether there was even an iota of justification for Netanyahu’s unilateral attack on Iran. theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

This is an interesting and apparently credible post from a retired US general, including a call for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Worth a read. As ever, those that have actually seen war as soldiers are more prone to seeking peace.

The level of Orwellian confusion in Europe over Israel’s attack on Iran is staggering. It’s so sad to see the total inability of European leaders to think with their own heads (rather than act as derivatives of the US) in the Middle East

Focus should instead be on one thing and only one thing: a new economic development pact to drive job-creating, sustainable growth - as I argue in my Sunday Times op-ed piece today.

I debated this man in public last year, in New York. I asked him about the targeting of Palestinian families in Gaza by Israel, in their apartment buildings and homes, including the Al Dos family. He defended it. And didn’t give a damn. And now he has the nerve to tweet this:

Wits School of Governance's Professor Richard Calland says although he is in support of the National Dialogue process to find common interests, more focus should be on growing the country's economy. There's been mixed reaction to President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of a

Who, exactly, was the target of a Trump deception operation? The US is not entering the war because the cost is very clear for the American military. This is not Yemen, where they can half-ass two carrier groups for a month of danger zone. Attacking Iran means destruction and

1.The challenge of our times is our collective failure to apply analyses & rules equally to all. This is a basic principle of democracy & yet all of us fail to practice it. We easily call out the racists,fundamentalists & chauvinists in other communities,but never within our own.

This is an outstanding and thorough examination of BBC coverage of the Gaza war. The BBC, an organisation I love and support, has serious and troubling questions to answer.
