Criticise the Guardian’s Comment is Free But Get Your Fact Right First! Far be it from me to defend the Guardian or its Comment Is Free section. Having been banned from posting articles by its former editor, Matthew Seaton, because I insisted that comparisons could and should be made between Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians…

Richard ‘Lenin’ Seymour makes it clear that the SWP owes no-one an apology for its previous relationship with Atzmon [or indeed for anything!] I received a message earlier today regarding Atzmon’s new book The Wandering Who? It informed me and others that ‘a group of authors published by Zero Books have criticized the publisher &…

A Palestinian owner of a bookshop in East Jerusalem, someone who was born there, is threatened with deportation for overstaying his tourist visa.

By their own admission about 12% (650,000 ) of Israeli Jews have emigrated from Israel. A quite remarkable figure which itself gives the lie to the idea that Jews have been longing to ‘return’ to Israel for 2,000 years. No sooner do they get there than they want to leave!
