Decisive defeat. Then elimination of fear. Then rule of law. Then economic revival. Then democracy. Then, if all that works, statehood. Then prosperity in every sense.
. @mrjamesob is a disgusting anti-intellectual, radicalised by his own arrogance - and today he participated in an act of visceral antisemitism - a tactic deployed in mediaeval times, in Nazi times, in soviet times, and in the muslim antisemitism we see driving these times - by…
It's not just him.
David Lammy has no idea what he's doing. Hamas is refusing a ceasefire. Lammy says if Hamas continues to refuse a ceasefire, Israel will be punished. He is PROLONGING this war. People will get killed because the UK has an overgrown student politician as its foreign secretary.
For James O'Brien to uncritically read out this outrageous claim as the truth is irresponsible and dangerous journalism. At a time of heightened antisemitism when synagogues and Jewish schools require increased security, the threat created by such unsubstantiated claims is real.…
This is simply untrue. Every detail is wrong and the allegations are antisemitic. How can it have been aired?
Hating Israel has become the moral glue of the upper classes. These Posh Twats for Palestine are a menace, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/UhxI4SV
Another excellent, wide-ranging yet coherent video essay. Packed with argument. Like a Bronowski monograph.

Hey @grok, is it true that Jewish Americans played a major role in building up the country and are among the most loyal citizens of any ethnic group?
25 nations just called on Israel to abandon the hostages. That’s what an “unconditional” ceasefire means.
The proposition that IDF soldiers - citizen reservists & 18-21 year-old young people - murder dozens of Palestinian civilians on a daily basis is a “big lie.” The source for this claim is an organization that gleefully murdered more than 1200 people in a single day 1/2
Reporting over the last year has witnessed a Jedi mind trick whereby Hamas casualty claims are now routinely reported as fact by mainstream media and accepted on their face by many governments. This in turn feeds Hamas daily pushing the envelope. Hamas’ chosen narrative won.
In Israel, Druze are cherished citizens. But elsewhere in the Middle East they are a persecuted minority. Just this week over 1000 slaughtered in Syria! And @amnesty? Never mentioned the Druze here! Not Once! Not ever! If you are persecuted by Islamists - Amnesty don't care.
There was a young man from Nantucket Who thought that his mind was a bucket. So he went back to school Where they filled it with gruel Until he rebelled saying
I know what you’re thinking but please do not be concerned! We have all been reliably informed that there is no antisemitism problem in Ireland. Therefore, this middle-class Irish lady ranting to me about how Jews run the world and how she feels sick when she hears the word Jew…
Always remember, everyone, there is no antisemitism problem in Ireland. As one of our members of parliament stated only this week, to say as much is ‘hugely hurtful’, ‘hugely offensive’, and ‘slanderous’.
Far more Druze were slaughtered this week than even Hamas (inflated nonsense numbers) are claiming were killed in Gaza. Number of headlines on @bbcnews about the slaughter of the Druze = ZERO Number of Hamas propaganda headlines about Gaza = 42,655 We see you.
You don’t seem bothered by the fact that Israelis are woken up in the morning wondering which country in the Middle East has bombed us today. Only when Israel strikes back. I wonder why.
You wake up each morning and wonder which country in the Middle East has 🇮🇱 bombed today. i24news.tv/en/news/israel…
Jeremy Corbyn never said anything this brazen — and he invited Hezbollah to tea. I don’t think people yet understand how much of a code red situation this is. The severity of the moment.
And it is still getting worse.
Here is Mamdani, recently, saying “If you Don’t Clap for El-Yateem” — a Palestinian community organizer — “You’re a Zionist.” I’ll say it again: the turning of “Zionist” into a slur in mainstream western liberal spaces is the most significant antisemitic development of the 21st…
I haven't read Kant's reply to that criticism, but from what I've read, he gave the wrong answer. And justified it by his infinitely slippery "categorical imperative" which, ironically, tells us to frame every moral problem in a hypothetical, context-less way.
