Today, I am thinking of human beings in Gaza buried under the rubble. I am thinking of their joys, dreams, hopes & fears. I wonder, if the dust ever settles, whether opponents of a ceasefire will look back and reflect on the cost of their inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.
I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage MP fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.
Nigel Farage was rehabilitated by ITV when it paid him £1.5m to appear on I’m A Celeb. He is also joint-second for most appearances on BBC Question Time. When I say the *entire* media class is complicit in the normalisation of Islamophobic & anti-migrant rhetoric, I mean it.
Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.
