Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

It’s all too horribly familiar. Joseph Roth, a century ago: ‘The tombs of world history are yawning open in Munich and all the corpses one thought interred are stepping out. A grotesque dream is forming – and all Germany accepts this miracle with indifference, as if it was self- evident.’
A passage from my Joseph Roth biography, Endless Flight (Granta, 2022), detailing Roth’s reporting on Adolf Hitler’s treason trial in 1924:

When Hitler was put on trial for high treason in late February 1924, it was expected that this would spell the end for his political career and his National Socialist movement. Instead he spent three weeks in court in Munich exploiting the opportunity to make himself a martyr and establish his position as a figurehead for those who detested the republic. Joseph Roth looked on aghast from Berlin. Evidently he could freelance for other titles alongside his new role at the Frankfurter Zeitung - it's hard to imagine him accepting any other scenario - because one week into the trial, he wrote a piece for the Berlin socialist daily Vorwärts that expressed his horror at fascism's apparently inexorable journey towards acceptance in German life. "The tombs of world history are yawning open in Munich and all the corpses one thought interred are stepping out, Roth wrote. 'A grotesque dream is forming - and all Germany accepts this miracle with indifference, as it it was self-evident.'"' Hitler left the courtroom with a short custodial sentence and a vastly increased profile, and the evil so disturbingly depicted in The Spider's Web consolidated its presence in the reality of 1920s Germany.

There are, in my view, 25 things everyone needs to understand in light of recent events: 1) Those out in our communities last night were not protestors, but organised far right extremists. 2) Their actions align with fascist ideologies. 3) So yes: these are fascist practices on our streets. 🧵

No shame. No accountability. Irish civilians detained after being seized in international waters are now being used as political props by Israel’s far-right Government. What we’re witnessing is performative cruelty - propaganda in advance of potential elections in Israel.

Taken captive by Israel off the coast of Cyprus. Ben-Gvir disowned only because he made the mistake of boasting about it. This is how Israel treats European citizens in international waters, who endure this so you can imagine how they treat Palestinians in their own land.

This is all over the news in Italy. It has triggered a diplomatic incident, but we shall see whether Italian authorities will follow strong words with deeds. One thing is clear: if Ben-Gvir & co. feel they can do this to foreign peace activists, that NYT report is not hard to believe at all
