Finkelstein has still not apologised for accusing me, and other Jews who criticised Israel's atrocities, of being "antisemitic trolls", nor indeed has he withdrawn this absurd and morally bankrupt claim.

For Danny Finkelstein, the systematic and deliberate massacres of civilians, and the use of mass starvation as a weapon, is the fault of Hamas and some unnamed individuals - as opposed to him and his fellow apologists.

And yes, there rose in Israel a war coalition, including vengeful and obnoxious individuals seeking the eradication of neighbours they saw as enemies.

Insane story out of India

Why is India prosecuting Muslims who said ‘I love Muhammad’?

More than 2,500 people have been charged as an initial crackdown on the expression has spawned broader protests.

Imperialism and World Economy by Nikolai Bukharin: "England, that citadel of free trade, is in a period of transition; there is an increasing number of ever sharper and more persistent voices demanding fair trade instead of free trade" (1909). Very much applicable to post-globalisation US now.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

Is perfect competition real or just a dream? youtu.be/o5GMMiPKvPc?... Economists still cling to the fantasy of perfect competition — the idea that markets are full of small, powerless firms playing fair. But the real world is dominated by oligopolies, monopolies and brand empires.

Leaders of Young Republican groups “referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers.“ They ‘joked’ about raping their enemies and wondered which politician supports slavery.

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Israel is still collectively punishing the entire civilian population to pressure Hamas

It is still a crime against humanity to withhold aid from civilians
