I’ve taken the red pill and I don’t like it – what your Jewish friends are feeling

I haven’t written anything for more than a week now, because I have been depressed. And I have been depressed because I’ve been feeling a bit like Neo in The Matrix must have felt, having just taken the red...

Five Weeks Later, Part Two: when is a hospital not protected?

In my last mini-post, I looked at the alleged shortage of fuel needed to power Gaza’s hospitals, and what observable facts might suggest (as opposed to the purely emotive claims and counterclaims on the subject that we see being...

Five weeks later, part one: Fuel for hospitals

Two weeks later, part two: Questioning the words

As time goes by, the world’s attention has shifted (predictably) from the hundreds of hostages being held and the atrocities committed by Hamas in Israel (a mere two weeks ago), to the plight of those in Gaza. And (equally predictably)...

One Week Later, Part Three: Expressions of solidarity

In the past 12 days there have been some of the biggest solidarity rallies in support of Israel that I have ever seen. Public buildings across the world have been lit up in blue and white. Huge crowds, Jews...
