How to prove Israel is not a settler colony even as it pursues 'Greater Israel'
Israel's advocates wage a propaganda war, framing Palestinians as the 'colonisers' while erasing Zionism's colonial roots and cloaking conquest in myths of return and indigeneity

For over 45 years, neoliberal and neoclassical economics have dominated UK policy — and failed us. In a new series, I explain why they fail, and show how you can argue back with reason and evidence. Economics should serve people, not markets. Let’s take it back.

Last week: "deliver peace through strength."

Starmer can't cosplay the Army General one week.
And then pretend to be the global Diplomat the next.
Total lack of moral legitimacy.
