Antisemitism is sometimes leveraged in critiques of Israeli crimes.

That doesn't make the antisemitism or the crimes OK.

I've made a variety of the argument before in favour of what we do making local newspapers: local newspapers are a record for the future of what happened in a place over time. They're in the British Library, can't be redone, erased or altered.

This is brilliant. David has deep expertise on the Spiked network. Makes a v. convincing argument that it needs and searches for wounds in the social body to infect. ‘It’s not interested good outcomes, only a bad process’. It exists to thrive from debates it helps toxify.

I find this so much more annoying from Davey than the other leaders, because unlike the others, I just don’t think he, at any level, believes this stuff.

I keep thinking about what a shame it is that before striking Iran, Washington couldn't look to any recent precedents of a stronger naval power losing a conflict at sea to an adversary that uses lots of cheap drones 🤔

So the same Islamic ruling class in Iran now gets to put a toll on a Strait that was open and free before America intervened in the first place. Masterful gambit, sir

the phrase in Russian for a threat that carries no consequence is "China's final warning" but they might have to update.

That’s $200m *per day* at the daily pre-war average of 100 ships or a shade over $10bn per year? Unbelievable win for Iran.

Orban and Putin's false flag has fallen apart:

"Serbia’s top military brass said Ukraine was not behind an incident involving explosives near a gas pipeline with Hungary, in a rebuke to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán."
