Ah yes, that's multiple years and the red line is this year and it is out of the normal sample range but out in a way that is bad, up is bad on this chart, even though sometimes up is good etc

People significantly overestimate the proportion of people that can read charts

Need to bring back the old official anti-racism like that embodied in Jacob Rees-Mogg.

I have read postwar, post war a much Bigger book. Savage continent really focuses on the population movements and the crimes against humanity, the nuts and bolts of creating the post-ww2 state settlement.

This is why I think "settled colonial" schema to understand Israel is unhelpful. It's a normal post-ww2 ethnic cleansing national state. It's just people have forgotten what the rest of the 1940s were really like.

While we're talking Zionism, I think I'll recommend one of my favourite books about the late 1940s. If you think Zionism is weird that's a you problem, in the 1940s, it was SO normal. And that's not flattering but it does make Israel look very normal. amzn.eu/d/00HToUlf

Think this guy learned about anti-Semitism from JK Rowlings goblins and never updated.

Has she made any mistakes? “Everybody makes mistakes,” she says. Like what? “You’re putting me on the spot. Nothing comes to mind.” Guess who?

More so than democracy, the Westphalian state system is the worst system apart from all the others.
