If you want to fight an ideology like Hamas, the argument is you need to present a better ideology, some better options and that is not coming at the moment at all.β

If you look in the history, it's very hard for a regular army to defeat an insurgency. Think about Vietnam, Iraq, for the Americans and others.

A photo of the front cover of issue 1641 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "ON SHELVES NOW!" The headline reads "DONALD TRUMP: AN APOLOGY." The cover features a mock statement claiming that, in contrast to past descriptions of Trump as "a sleazy, deranged, orange-faced man-baby," the magazine now recognises him as "a political colossus, the voice of sanity, a champion of liberty, and the saviour of the Western world." The parody humorously describes him as "slim, handsome, and young," concluding with a note that "this statement has not been fact-checked."

The new Private Eye is out now
