What happens when politics dies in August? A flight of leaders to Washington that achieved nothing. Trump was flattered. Zelensky was patronised. And the rest? Ditherers. This is what neoliberalism has delivered us – a politics of paralysis.

Israel's Act of Piracy on the High Seas (illegally storming the Madleen & kidnapping its crew) serves one purpose: To defend its right to continue unobserved and unimpeded the Genocide of Palestinians. An Act of Piracy is thus committed in the process of concluding a Genocide.
