On the contrary Ben, I spent several years travelling on foot around the region recording the testimonies of the minorities of the Middle East in this award-winning book. It records first hand testimonies from the Yezidis, the Copts, the Maronites, the Armenians, the Kurds and the Palestinian Christians as well as many Israelis and Jewish Egyptians. I've also made an entire Channel 4 documentary series on the Sufis of the region. That is exactly why, like your sister, I am so incensed by the mass murder currently underway in Gaza. Do dm me your address and I'd be happy to mail you a copy if you'd like to learn a little more on this subject.
The Jews are the only minority in that entire vast region that refuses to be eliminated from their minuscule, ancient homeland. That’s why they’re so loathed by the jihadists. Where are the Druzes, the Yazidis, the Copts and other Middle East Christians, the Berbers, the Sufis? Largely flattened, assimilated or driven out. You’re an expert on empires - but apparently Islamist imperialism in the Middle East isn’t a thing?

If I had a political ideology I believed to be just and saw it being used to advance appalling levels of barbarity, I'd be pretty angry about it. How is it that moderate Zionists seem oddly disinclined to distance themselves from the dominant thrust of Israeli policy?

This is a reasonable point, to an extent: not all Israel partisans are necessarily slavering for the destruction and/or expulsion of millions of civilians, it’s not fair to assume Danny himself is. Nonetheless, that is what the project is, and clearly has been for decades.

Benjamin Netanyahu and his crew are fighting the most racist election in Israeli history. His opponent Gadi Eizenkot will normalise an illegal occupation, while his military record is chilling. I write for Zeteo:

What a relief! Lula’s unexpected victory gives hope for the Amazon. He has dramatically cut felling, while Bolsonaro’s plans would doubtless have taken it past its tipping point, ensuring total eventual destruction with huge global consequences.

It gets worse. Here is Raffi Berg, the guy who supervises @BBCNews Middle East content & gets to censor all news out of Gaza, writing excitedly to Netanyahu junior about getting a letter from his war criminal father:

Is Israel that divided? The Israeli electorate actually seems quite united on many issues. 60% self identify as right. Most do not like Bibi. Most want to continue Israeli atrocities against Palestinians. Most think Iran won the war.

Now that the BBC has finally acknowledged that Andy Burnham *didn't* end rough sleeping in Manchester [it initially fell then rose again and is likely back at 2017 levels] we trust any Scottish Labour politicians claiming he ended rough sleeping will be corrected by journalists.
