The carte blanche given to Israel to rebrand war crimes into war doctrine did not begin yesterday. In 2006 Israel announced the “Dahieh doctrine” as a shorthand for its blatant and intentional strategy of collective punishment of civilians in Lebanon.

@Reuters @JonathanLanday @SarahCahlan We also have a write-up online. Absent debris from an Iranian drone, it looks very much like a Patriot misfire. If it was deliberate, the intercept attempt looks rather irresponsible and out of character with what we know about how @CENTCOM operates. armscontrolwonk.com/archive/122152…


Nobody does patronising better than the youngest son of a baronet

The Left are having a meltdown about Suicide of a Nation -- cherry-picking, misrepresenting, and hate-bombing the Amazon reviews. Why? Because they think they own and control the public debate. Their default mode whenever a book/thinker comes along that dismantles their worldview is to try & discredit it and attack the person, not the argument. Only, it won't work this time. There is a reason Suicide of a Nation is Number 3 on Amazon and it's struck a chord with so many. Because people see through the gaslighting and want to be told THE TRUTH about what is really happening to THEIR OWN COUNTRY, and their own people. Everything in this book is based on official, UK census data and the very same projections that are used by the Office for National Statistics and expert demographers. Every single person who knows the data knows that everything in this book is correct - even if they would rather you not know about it, or talk about it. The Left don't want you to read it, they don't want you to know what is in this book, because they do not want you to know what is happening around you. They do not want you to know the truth. Which is why they work overtime to try and deflect & discredit anything that challenges their worldview. "Is it really true what you say about this one school?", they ask, knowing full well it is. "Should we really care about the fact that some 5 million people in England cannot speak English or do not speak it as their main language?", they ask, knowing full well this is a major problem. They are constantly trying to gaslight you. It really is that simple. I worked in the universities for 20 years; I saw the strategy up close. Only, unlike others I refuse to be pushed aside. I refuse to let them dominate the public debate. Which, by the way, is why I did not want this book to be published by a mainstream publisher. I could easily have gone down this road, having written two national bestsellers. But I knew they would censor what I say, they would try to control and narrow the debate. This is why I deliberately stepped outside the narrow, stifling Groupthink, the Overton Window. And this is why Suicide of a Nation is now selling out - everywhere. So here's a challenge. Ignore the losers on the Left who are trying to control and censor you once again, read it for yourself, and make up your own mind. Matt amazon.co.uk/Suicide-Nation…

BREAKING: The Israeli army has informed the Palestinian Military Liaison that all entrances and exits to multiple cities and towns across the West Bank will be closed today due to calls by settlers to attack Palestinian villages. Punishing Palestinians, who are the victims of settler terrorism, instead of those carrying out the attacks.
