The Times isn’t buying Kassam’s toxic strategy either - he’s actually damaged the people he thought he was supporting and helping

For those following along, the post Raheem made referring to himself as a former chief of staff, he has now deleted

This is telling from such a strong supporter of Israel and obviously right about Ben Gvir and Smotrich, but hard to see how anyone will really believe a page has been turned if Netanyahu remains PM.
I said I wasn’t going to weigh in on who should be prime minister of Israel as that is a decision for Israeli citizens. I did, however, want to share one point of view from the perspective of someone who has an understanding of how Israel is perceived in America.
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have caused Israel enormous reputational damage with their statements and actions which are presented in the global media as representing the voice and will of all Israelis.
As such, a government formed without Ben-Gvir and Smotrich will send a message to the rest of the world that Israel is turning a new page.
This will allow Israel to rebuild lost credibility, increase the opportunity for an expansion of the Abraham Accords, and enjoy a better relationship with Democrats and Republicans and Americans at large.

This shouldn't be difficult. @RaheemKassam is a poisonous, nasty piece of work. He shouldn't be within one hundred miles of a mainstream political party.
‘Is calling Kemi Badenoch a “Nigerian scammer” racist, yes or no?’
‘…I’m not on your show to talk about what a journalist has tweeted.’
Reform's Robert Jenrick refuses to engage with @Lewis_Goodall's question about Raheem Kassam's comments on the Tory leader.

You still hosting that show in Iran's Press TV Chris?

I’m assuming this screenshot is genuine. The fact that someone like this holds an official UN post explains why it is impossible to trust the UN when it observes or comments on Israel. This is a great sadness and makes establishing truth vastly harder.
“Leader”
'If I win, that will keep Labour in check and make sure they act on the things that matter to Holborn and St Pancras: affordable housing, safe communities, and securing a safe future for our children,' says Green Party leader @ZackPolanski

"Ellie we're not going to get over this for a very long time, if ever"
Conservative peer Lord Finkelstein tells Green MP Ellie Chowns her party has "betrayed" British Jews after its members adopted a motion declaring Zionism a form of racism.

This is an enthusiastic summary of my point, but for clarity I actually don’t predict this will happen, I say the big question is whether we will be asked to do this.
The UK will have to join the euro if we want to rejoin the EU, predicts Daniel Finkelstein.
“The euro means that we can't back out again, and they may want that.”

Tony Blair on Gaza:
There is talk of free Palestine, but for Palestinians living in Gaza, they don't need a slogan; they need a solution.
To be free, Gaza must live in peace with its neighbors and with itself.
And this cannot happen if it's governed by those who use Gaza as a base for war against a neighbor it has no chance of defeating.
