• November 13, 2024
• 800 Words • 28 Comments • Reply
News outlets didn’t make a mistake. They knowingly aired disinformation and peddled fake news. Admitting that requires a troubling recalibration of perspective if we’re ever to make sense of the world The media’s role in peddling disinformation over last week’s violence in Amsterdam just keeps getting darker. Owen Jones has interviewed a Dutch woman who... Read More
Police Escalate the British State’s War on Independent Journalism
• October 18, 2024
• 600 Words • 19 Comments • Reply
The raid on investigative journalist Asa Winstanley isn’t about terrorism – except the UK government’s. It is about scaring us into staying silent on Britain’s collusion in Israel’s genocide The UK government and police – the British state – made clear today it is waging a war of intimidation against the country’s independent journalists in...

Baddiel’s Hollow Racism Apology to Jason Lee
• November 24, 2022
• 3,700 Words • 17 Comments • Reply
Asked by the ex-footballer who his allies against antisemitism are, the Jewish comedian was flummoxed. That’s because he has thrown his lot in with the racists You may not have heard of the Jewish comedian David Baddiel or the black ex-footballer Jason Lee. You may not care about either of them. But their first-ever meeting... Read More
The Forde Report Is Damning of the Labour Right. Which Is Why It Will be Quickly Buried
• July 22, 2022
• 1,000 Words • 7 Comments • Reply
I published yesterday an analysis of the long-delayed report of the Forde Inquiry, pointing out that its “both sides are equally to blame” approach was actually a continuation of the very factionalism the report excoriates. However, I gave Martin Forde QC credit for recognising that antisemitism was weaponised by Corbyn’s opponents in the party, even... Read More
After Corbyn, Israel Lobby Turns Its Guns on UK Academia
The Jewish Chronicle warns that the dismissal of Prof David Miller is ‘just the beginning’
• October 14, 2021
• 2,300 Words • 13 Comments • Reply
The Israel lobby appears to be readying for a campaign to root out leftwing academics in the UK critical of Israel’s continuing oppression of the Palestinian people – echoing its efforts against the previous leader of Britain’s Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn. As with the attacks on Corbyn, the assault on academia is being led by... Read More
Jewish Chronicle’s Libel Payouts Were a Small Price to Pay for Smearing Corbyn and the Left
• September 2, 2021
• 2,100 Words • 25 Comments • Reply
The Jewish Chronicle, a weekly newspaper that was saved from liquidation last year by a consortium led by a former senior adviser to Theresa May, has been exposed as having a quite astonishing record of journalistic failings. Over the past three years, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), the misnamed and feeble “press regulator” created... Read More
Jewish Groups That Aid Israel’s War Crimes Can’t Deny All Responsibility for Those Crimes
• May 22, 2021
• 2,200 Words • 15 Comments • Reply
Here is something that can be said with great confidence. It is racist – antisemitic, if you prefer – to hold Jews, individually or collectively, accountable for Israel’s crimes. Jews are not responsible for Israel’s war crimes, even if the Israeli state presumes to implicate Jews in its crimes by falsely declaring it represents all... Read More
Ignore Starmer’s Moral Posturing. He’s the One We Should Blame for Stoking Antisemitism
• May 17, 2021
• 1,700 Words • 24 Comments • Reply
No one should be surprised that Britain’s rightwing prime minister, Boris Johnson, has had barely anything to say about Israel’s pummelling of Gaza, with nearly 200 Palestinians reported to have been killed by airstrikes and many hundreds more seriously wounded. Nor should we be surprised that Johnson has had nothing to say about the fact... Read More
The Guardian Revealed Its True Face in Sacking a Columnist for Criticising US Military Aid to Israel
• February 11, 2021
• 2,400 Words • 17 Comments • Reply
The revelation that a leftwing journalist, Nathan J Robinson, has been sacked as a Guardian US columnist for criticising Israel on Twitter – and that he was pressured to keep quiet about it by Guardian editors – should come as no surprise. He is only the latest in a long line of journalists, myself included,... Read More
How the Left Is Being Manipulated Into Colluding in Its Own Character Assassination
• January 8, 2021
• 1,200 Words • 23 Comments • Reply
There was a fascinating online panel discussion on Wednesday night on the Julian Assange case that I recommend everyone watch. The video is at the bottom of the page. But from all the outstanding contributions, I want to highlight a very important point made by Yanis Varoufakis that has significance for understanding current events well... Read More

Antisemitism Claims Mask a Reign of Political and Cultural Terror Across Europe
• December 11, 2020
• 3,500 Words • 181 Comments • Reply
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has run a fascinating long report this week offering a disturbing snapshot of the political climate rapidly emerging across Europe on the issue of antisemitism. The article documents a kind of cultural, political and intellectual reign of terror in Germany since the parliament passed a resolution last year equating support for... Read More
The EHRC’s Report Into Labour Antisemitism Is the Real "Political Interference"
• November 7, 2020
• 2,400 Words • Leave a Comment
I recently published in Middle East Eye a detailed analysis of last week’s report by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission into the question of whether the UK Labour party had an especial antisemitism problem. (You can read a slightly fuller version of that article on my website.) In the piece, I reached two main... Read More

How the Guardian Betrayed Not Only Corbyn But the Last Vestiges of British Democracy
• August 10, 2020
• 3,800 Words • 52 Comments • Reply
It is simply astonishing that the first attempt by the Guardian – the only major British newspaper styling itself as on the liberal-left – to properly examine the contents of a devastating internal Labour party report leaked in April is taking place nearly four months after the 860-page report first came to light. If you... Read More
The Smearing of Ken Loach and Jeremy Corbyn Is the Face of Our New Toxic Politics
• April 8, 2020
• 2,700 Words • 29 Comments • Reply
The film-maker’s crime – like Corbyn’s – wasn’t antisemitism but recalling a time when class solidarity inspired the struggle for a better world Ken Loach, one of Britain’s most acclaimed film directors, has spent more than a half a century dramatising the plight of the poor and the vulnerable. His films have often depicted the... Read More

Even with Corbyn Gone, Antisemitism Threats Will Keep Destroying the UK Labour Party
• February 12, 2020
• 3,700 Words • 95 Comments • Reply
If there is one issue that denotes the terminal decline of Labour as a force for change – desperately needed social, economic and environmental change – it is not Brexit. It is the constant furore over an “antisemitism crisis” supposedly plaguing the party for the past five years. The imminent departure of Jeremy Corbyn as... Read More

The Holocaust, the BBC and Antisemitism Smears

• 3,400 Words • 96 Comments • Reply
Senior BBC news reporter Orla Guerin has found herself in hot water of an increasingly familiar kind. During a report on preparations for the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, she made a brief reference to Israel and an even briefer reference to the Palestinians. Her reporting coincided with... Read More
