Review: Gaza Doctors Under Attack -
Unsophisticated propaganda and it is no wonder even the BBC passed on showing it.

Having commissioned this film, the BBC declined to air it. It said in a statement: We have come to the conclusion that broadcasting this material risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC. Impartiality is a core princ

The broadcast partnership between the BBC and Glastonbury must be axed until both show they have rehabilitated. The excuses don't fly.

The BBC has failed to explain what due diligence it did ahead of the live broadcast of a rant from the Glastonbury stage which the broadcaster itself has branded antisemitic. This echoes a statement by Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis which also appears to concede the antisemitic nature of the rant

"Compelled Listening' is not the same as "Free Speech". The Free Speech UnionUnion is wrong to defend bothersome street preachers. For once, the police are right to shut people up.

Short story shorter: A street preacher was told to shut up and move on by a police officer. She is now being defended by the Free Speech Union (FSU). I support the mission of the FSU and I think they do valuable and necessary work, but I think on this issue they are wrong. I'd better get one s

While some party leaders are more muted than others about the US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, the Green Party is clearly hostile to the West's interests.

The Labour Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, said: "Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat.The situation in the Middle East remains volatile and stability in the re...

Sabotage. Terror plots. Attacks on civilians. Iran seems to have the run of London. It is time they were stopped. In the event of war, internment, unthinkable after WWII, might be the only option we have.

Someone has to say what in modern times is the unsayable. It may as well be me: Unless, anyone can think of another solution to the problem, we may need to start thinking about where to put internment centres. Yes, I know, since the fall of the Berlin Wall there has been a sort of odd attitude th

Bombs, not 'Boots on the Ground' this time. The future will belong to those who are unashamed to use force in their own interests. It had better be us.

This blog made its name supporting liberal interventionism in the mid-2000s and supported the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq in an effort to promote a move towards democratic government in those countries, following rule by dictators and clerics. I do not believe it was wrong to do so. The effort to s

In a surprise turn-around, "Comic Dave Smith" - who once raged at Douglas Murray for suggesting he do some basic research before opening his mouth - has uttered the phrase "Go focus on something you know about" himself. Finally comedy gold!

Back in April I briefly came out of blogging retirement to talk about why 'expertise' was important, especially if your mission was to hold "the mainstream media to account". This followed the much-talked-about spat between Douglas Murray and some smug loudmouth called 'Comic' Dave Smith who took um

Is "Progressives hate Jews so much they'd rather support a theocratic state that stands against all of their core values, against a Jewish state which reflects most of those values," the most plausible explanation for left-wing support for Iran?

We all know the saying - and apparent truism - that there will be peace in the Middle East when the Palestinians start loving their children more than they hate the Jews. But it seems increasingly apparent to me that something similar applies to so-called "progressive politics". Campaigning organiza

Bunkum Bluster vs Bunker Busters: Bland and empty diplomatic words will not stop Iran's nuclear plans. Bombs will. Israel understands this. The UK does not.

British PM Keir Starmer - possibly assisted by ChatGPT - has drafted a bland and pointless tweet in response to Israel's pre-emptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Earlier this week, the UN confirmed that Iran was violating nuclear proliferation agreements by enriching uranium. This is a clea

How did Greta Thunberg end up on a yacht with a crew of Israel-haters, some of whom supported Hamas and Hezbollah, legitimised the Oct7 massacre, and one even investigated for advocating terrorism?

The good ship Madleen (let's not blame the yacht) sailed for Gaza carrying what even AlJazeera described as "a symbolic quantity" of aid that "would not have made much of a difference". In fact, it was roughly equivalent to a single trip to CostCo... which is, I'd wager, what they probably did. In

More than 80% of the world lives outside the borders of Western Democracies. They do not share our liberal consensus on gay & le***an rights, women's lib or abhorrence of antisemitism. Without borders, it is game over for g**s, women, and Jews.

There is a lot of fuss in the media today because of the violent protests in California against President Trump's efforts to enforce border control and clamp down on illegal migration. In the UK, the issue gets hotter by the day as more and more undocumented migrants arrive illegally in small boats.

In his recent article in the New Republic, “The Coming Jewish Civil War over Donald Trump,” Alterman’s view is that Jews are split over what’s more important: Trump’s crackdown on antisemitism (on campuses, for instance) and support for Israel vs. his supposed “dismantling” of institutions broadly supported by American Jews. In the course of describing this split, one would expect serious criticism of Trump, and one wouldn’t be disappointed. However, one might not expect searing criticism of Israel from his first paragraph onward.

By Harry Storm The election of Donald Trump and Israel’s actions since a ceasefire that Trump helped initiate collapsed have brought about a new virulence in anti-Israeli activity that now has taken in many in the West until now supportive of the Jewish state. Signs of this are all around us – t
