Ever since US President Donald Trump dubbed the June Israeli-American military strikes against Iran “the 12-day war”, the phrase has been widely used to mark this international act of global terrorism by two nuclear powers.  It is, however, a flawed phrase.

It has been murdering foreign dignitaries for decades.   Outlets that parrot Israeli propaganda, like the New York Times and the BBC, alongside lobbying groups like the American Israel Public Affairs…

Venice boasted films fronted by Julia Roberts, Dwayne Johnson and George Clooney to name a few.  This year, however, Gaza stole the headlines, as Venice inadvertently turned political in a fashion not seen before in other major film…

He’s also the author of “Net Gains: Inside the Beautiful Game’s Analytics Revolution.”What’s the most expensive transfer ever?It seems obvious: Paris Saint-Germain paid the €222 million release clause to acquire Neymar from Barcelona. The only other player who has come close to that was another player acquired by PSG the same year: Kylian Mbappé, for €180 million, from Monaco.

The difference between Holocaust denial and Gaza Genocide denial is that Holocaust denial is illegal or a criminal offence in many countries, and is, for the most part, the preserve of marginalised kooks and conspiracy theorists. No self-respecting journalist considers Holocaust denial a legitimate point of view, and no serious media organisation argues that impartiality requires it to provide Holocaust denial with a platform in any serious discussion about Germany’s extermination of Europe’s Jews during World War Two – let alone equal time, or beginning and ending every such discussion with “Germany said”. Gaza Genocide denial, by contrast, is a…
