Owen Jones: Benjamin Netanyahuâs UN speech lays bare the Westâs moral collapse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AS Benjamin Netanyahu boomed his tirade to the United Nations General Assembly, there were many things you could hear. Lies, obviously. Hatred, as youâd expect. But something else: the fall of the West. As an Israeli prime minister evading an arrest warrant took to the podium, a walkout organised by the Palestinian delegation began. Every country involved belonged to the Global South. âIsrael didnât commit genocide,â said the man who wiped Gaza from the face of the earth. âIsrael preve
Labourâs Israel sanctions prove pressure work. Now we must push harder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WHEN I heard that the Labour Government was imposing sanctions on Israelâs illegal settlements, my first response was cynicism. Israel is a state, after all, which has committed a livestreamed genocide. It wiped Gaza from the face of the earth, bombed its hospitals and deliberately starved its people. It has deliberately targeted children â and no, thatâs not a hyperbolic distortion of killing by recklessness. As well as Western doctors who have served in Gaza, a UN independent commission
Owen Jones: Northern charm cannot disguise Andy Burnhamâs policy U-turns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WELL, that didnât take long, did it? Safely ensconced in Downing Street, Andy Burnham has been on a spree of U-turns. Before he became Prime Minister, he made a lofty commitment to âend 40 years of neoliberalismâ. Our new order would be âManchesterismâ, the national rollout of his governing ideology as mayor of the northern metropolis. The more nuanced truth of what that meant was hushed up: not least that it was a model dependent on property developers rebuilding Manchesterâs skylin
The climate crisis is here. Eco-fascism and denialism is making it deadlier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘BRITAIN set for glorious 36C highs next week as UK set for 5th heatwave,” cooed The Sun. Here is a newspaper which has spent years demonising those demanding action on the climate emergency, now enticing its readers to enjoy the supposed perks of an existential crisis that it has helped to deepen. Which sentient human being could possibly still deny the consequences of our species pumping 2.4 trillion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? So far this year, Britain has experienced
Owen Jones: Vultures on the right wonât let facts get in the way of racism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IT was the perfect opportunity for the anti-migrant right. News that 60,000 migrants had swept into Spanish territory made headlines across Europe. Many readers probably had no idea that Ceuta is in fact on the coast of North Africa, a vestige of European colonialism. Most have now returned across the border to Morocco: here is a crisis that is likely to be resolved in days. That doesnât mean there hasnât been horrible tragedy â dozens of migrants died trying to cross. But the right-wing p
