I am extremely proud of fellow North-Levantine émigré Ahmed al-Ahmed who took two bullet to protect and save innocent Jewish lives. He makes both the Levant & his community proud & sets high standards against terrorism and antisemitism. Soul in the game.

Contrast this with how George W. Bush talked about Muslims six days after 9/11. He visited a mosque, quoted from the Quran, and spoke with sincerity and passion about Muslim women who wear the hijab and were being harassed.

My friends in the Christian village of Beit Sahour, the Shepherd's Fields next to Bethlehem, where I Iived for some time writing From the Holy Mountain, are about to be colonised by radicalised and violent Israeli settlers, in defiance of International Law.

Netanyahu has been working on this for decades. Max Hastings overheared the young Benjamin Netanyahu dreaming of a war when, "if we get it right, we'll have a chance to get all the Arabs out... We can clear the West Bank and sort out Jerusalem." #NewNakba

Zack Polanski, "What's your view on Gaza?" Gary Lineker, "We've got a ceasefire but it's not a ceasefire, they're just carrying on with people being killed every day. And not just in Gaza but in the West Bank as well" "I look at my phone every day and I cry most days when I see

They spent months and months insisting he was an antisemite, with zero evidence, and then he chooses to get sworn in as mayor by America’s most famous and beloved Jewish politician. His critics are a mix of liars and fools.

Why is this blatantly ahistorical call for ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Palestinians from a minister in Netanyahu’s government not a headline across the globe?

The great William D. is dismantling single-handedly an entire century of Zionist lies, fabrications, and historical distortions.

.Ezra Klein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?” @JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme

Excellent, thoughtful comment from Martin Kettle — one of my favourite columnists. Thoroughly worth reading. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Where do I go to get my apology from Mark Regev, Eylon Levy, John Spencer, Alan Dershowitz, Douglas Murray, & Jonathan Conricus? All those pro-Israel pundits and government spokespersons who I debated since Oct 7 & who claimed the Gaza death toll was unreliable/inflated/fake?

Like anyone who has tried to speak up for the Palestinians over the last few months, I have been multiply abused by Israel's defenders, including by some friends, for giving credence to the terrible casualty figures coming out of Gaza. Now it turns out they were accurate all

Hi Congressman Smurfosaur will you now apologize for this bill of yours and admit you got this wrong?

The audio does not reveal any unwillingness among members of the Roedean school community to compete against Jewish pupils. What it reveals is a real discomfort in playing against King David High School, seemingly because of its position on Israel. That is not antisemitism.

Ridiculous of the British Museum to remove the word 'Palestine" from its displays, when it has a greater antiquity than the word "British". The first reference to Palestine is on the Egyptian monument of Medinet Habu in 1186BCE. The first reference to Britain is the 4th century

Thank goodness. What does The Telegraph say for itself ?

This is a disgrace. Editorial checks and balances replaced with "adventure journalism." Shameful..

Much has been written about Roedean and King David in recent weeks, but not a lot has been spoken about the implications from the fallout. My take in Daily Maverick on the faultlines in our society around this issue, and what the implications are dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…

41% of Americans now say they sympathize more with the Palestinians in the Middle East situation, while 36% sympathize more with the Israelis.

Entirely misses the point that it's a death penalty that only applies to one ethnicity, the Palestinians, a people who are illegally occupied, living under military rule and subject to dispossession, constant violence and ethnic cleansing
