Brendan O’Neill, editor of Spiked Online, is one of the few non-Jewish journalists in Britain who really does “get it” about Israel and its enemies in the Middle East. He also displays a rare degree of clarity about the related onslaught against the core values of the west by its educated classes. So I was delighted to be invited back onto his podcast a couple of weeks ago for another in-depth discussion, this time opening up into questions from his audience on Zoom.
Topics we discussed included what life in Israel is like right now, the west's reaction to the war and what Israelis think about that, the “human rights” industry and moral inversion, the corrosive effect of the Palestinian cause, anti-Zionism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, the BBC, Keir Starmer and whether Israel can win the war.
