the Israelis are really helping the Hamas cause by their brutality - backed up of course by Trump and his thirst for prime real estate for his family at any human cost

I was looking at a book documenting the Warsaw ghetto. The images are too close to those of Gaza. It is an act of madness that will stain the reputation of the country for years, possibly for ever. Hamas could not have planned it better.

please Corbyn is just a shill for the right - Someone so embittered, mediocre and devoid of any new ideas would be hard to find or make up in the most deluded Daily Mail columnist fantasies - look to the new generation, its time for Corbyn to retire to his allotment or somewhere

@therestpolitics.bsky.social What are your thoughts on The BFG as a new political, diplomatic and possibly economic force. With the disunity and complexity of the EU could this new less formal grouping begin to have some clout, as the world's third largest economy, and address some presents woes

ask yourself what Reform really want and the answer is something not that different from North Korea or the Taliban

Israel has become an engine of antisemitism and is undermining even its legitimacy to exist as a Jewish state. Maybe this is what Hamas wanted. They are playing the long game and Israel acting to order.

Liz Truss has a point - culture is not nationally defined, looting is part of our culture and the recent history of the Elgin marbles is also important. Its facile to think all pieces of art should be repatriated to their (present day) imagined communities and fashioned for nationalistic purposes.

What Israel is doing is far more shameful and damaging to Jewish people than anything said at Glastonbury

without moral leadership the world goes to hell in a handcart - Laurence Rees's documentary The Nazis a Warning from History shows how Hitler did not so much order but gave people the choice to do good or evil with impunity - This is what Trump has done with Israel to the Middle East's peril.

you could make the same argument about the Houses of Parliament or Buckingham Palace but I don't suppose that will go down well with their readers
