The anti-Z=R defences and apologists for Israel are in effect making all Jews complicit in Israel's crimes. Every time we talk about hafrada, nishul, separateness, dispossession, the violence, uprooting, the iterations of Deir Yassin, they divert to "antisemitism" of which we're accused.

Some issues are purely intellectual & can be decided on well-evidenced universally-agreed material facts. Other issues depend upon interpretation & how they are perceived against a background of personal beliefs & the emotions invested in them. What concern humans most are in the 2nd category. =>2

The expansion of Heathrow would be an expensive disaster for Britain and the world. Burnham needs to block it | George Monbiot
A third runway would fly in the face of reason. If we are to prioritise human life over short-term ‘growth’, we need to use planes less, not more, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

Netanyahu just incited genocide in his UN speech. Here’s what you missed.
At the end of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s unhinged rant at the UN, he recited a seemingly obscure Bible verse. But it’s actually a dog whistle for genocide.

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Howard Jacobson's prose is very different stylistically from that of the late Enoch Powell, and yet whenever I feel I must read the former, which is rarely, I'm invariably reminded of the latter. The complex sentences hide more than they reveal. But one knows what lies beneath the perisphrastics.
