I am sorry that my comments did not make it through but here is my take on this manufactured anti-semitism crisis:

Yes, Israel is behind it, however it is not because the Jewish state needs to retain the justification of victimhood. It is because Jeremy Corbyn represented the possibility of a sharp break with neoliberal policy. This would have had a substantial impact on those who are running the planet into the ground. By promoting neoliberalism Israel's corrupt leaders and their foreign supporters can continue to enrich themselves while ensuring the rest of us are divided amongst ourselves and unable to mount a proper revolution.

Thrilled that you've written this book, I was going to pre-order it, but I would really love to have it signed by you.... Any chance of that Asa? even if when I pre-order it I put a note with my name, and you could do it for me. I'm in rural Ireland, so the chances of my attending a book signing, etc in Britain very unlikely. Anyway, if thats not possible I'll just pre-order anyway. Looking forward to reading, I'm sure it will be well received, very good luck, you're a great journalist, much needed journalist nowadays, few people with integrity left. xx

I ordered the Kindle version of your book. It's preordered, so will I get a notice of when/how I can download it or do I need to check back? Thank you!

I am really pleased that you've written this book. As a subscriber I appreciate your perspective on what is really happening in Israel/Palestine/middle East. You've a great list of supporters of your book. However I have real problems with Noam Chomsky. I know he has an honourable history and I guess he's getting old. But for someone who rightly criticises Israel's incarceration of the Palestinians in the Gaza strip, a treatment justified on the basis they constitute a threat to Israel, his view that those who were unvaccinated with the Covid19 vaccine should be incarcerated in their homes and left to starve if necessary, is unforgivable. Apart from the fact that the vaccinated are more of a threat to the unvaccinated rather than the other way round, even if it were true that they were a threat, such a view is unforgiveable,. To see how bad it is I strongly recommend Vera Sharav's series of videos "Never Again is now".
