I think it is pretty obvious that all these attempts to steelman the refusal to hold Israel accountable in 2023-2024 are ipso facto also preemptive arguments for not doing so in 2029 and it is strange how people are being coy about that

It certainly helps to avoid any embarrassment with our friends over the water, though there surely aren't any reasons that might be a factor, nor have we seen any evidence of that kind of behaviour recently.

Forgive me if I don't place much currency in the Prime Minister's confident assertions regarding Van Gang when hundreds of balaclava-clad football lads romping around on public transport have apparently been running rings around our intelligence services despite operating entirely out in the open.

Quite difficult to obscure just how radicalised and extreme this stuff is, which is awkward because we have been told in no uncertain terms that it's actually *opposing* it that's the violent extremist position. Bit of a pickle, make no mistake.

One of the more profound takeaways from Mahmoud’s book talk last week was when he said that his green card, which the Trump administration has been trying so desperately to revoke, was the first ID he had ever received in his life that had the word “permanent” on it.

A very interesting admission: Abdul won't recognize the right of Noah's bugbear emotional support state to possess an exclusionary legal and political character to the detriment of 50% of the people under its control, therefore Abdul is a bigot. Fascinating!

He said it had been "framed by the understanding that minority groups are only safe under conditions of democracy, freedom and the rule of law, and also how that understanding really led to my empathy for Palestinians and their dispossession in 1948Ạạwhich had led him to believe that "the best way to right that is a two-state solutionẠạ

Campus sexual assault is not an “institutional problem” merely in the sense that assault takes place at an institution. It is an “institutional problem” in the sense that the institution fosters the conditions for the problem, punishes the victims, and colludes with the perpetrators to cover it up.

This isn’t wrong: you can get bail with conditions like “stay away from your ex-wife’s house” or “no going to the shops on the high street you keep stealing from”. I cannot imagine what conditions might be imposed on people reasonably suspected of doing Iranian terrorism.

Bailed on condition of not approaching any American military bases with a van full of petrol, I assume

Bloomberg and others reported on Tuesday that investigators considered a plot involving Iranian proxies as the most likely explanation for the incident.
Burnham was also asked why the men were bailed given the apparent severity of the incident. The PM indicated they had not been released under bail typical conditions.
"I think people need to understand that, you know, when it says 'released,' that isn't as people might think. It's obviously with the strictest possible bail conditions."
Pressed on whether they had been released, Burnham said: "The authorities have this under, as I say, the strongest grip and the closest control, and I can assure you of that."
He added that UK officials had spoken to US counterparts to explain the circumstances of their release. "I have complete confidence in the way British security services are handling this."
