The glue that binds international bodies together is what used to be called the delegitimisation of Israel, but is now easier to refer to simply as Jew hate
The only issue has been when and where the first mob attack on Jews would happen
One of the most obvious lessons from history is that when verbal and written Jew hate is normalised, violence always follows
Good Jew, Bad Jew – in the end we are all just Jews to the mob
The rabble outside JW3 yesterday weren’t making the distinction between good and bad Jews because…why would they?
The BBC’s credulous reporting of Hezbollah has become almost comical
Its coverage of the “money bunker” under the Al-Sahel Hospital is not just inept – it’s actually funny
Why is the Guardian shocked that terrorists are portrayed as monsters?
The paper’s review of October 7 documentary One Day in October is amoral in criticising the film for sympathising with the massacre victims
Postmodernism and moral relativism have led us to disaster

The 310 bus is, they say, really a Jewish plot to force Muslims to live as second class citizens
Simon Sebag Montefiore taking apart William Dalrymple was a rewarding spectacle
It was like watching a panther dismember a goat
The hypocrisy in reaction to the riots is striking
While those who attend the riots but don’t actually riot are rightly condemned, those who attend the hate marches alongside antisemites are described as “decent”
Why Natalie Portman’s first TV drama left me bored senseless
It is packed to the rafters with Jewy things and it’s beautifully acted, so the JC’s editor-at-large should have loved it. I did not
For the BBC, Ismail Haniyeh was ‘moderate and pragmatic’, for the rest of us he was a monster
Why is the corporation incapable of describing him as what he was
