The warmth, memory and strength of Gaza
My essay, reportage and personal reflections about Gaza in US magazine The Markaz. The outlet is publishing an entire edition about Gaza, a Palestinian territory that’s routinely shunned, ignored and demonised in the West.

How the Jewish state increasingly has ties with the far-right
This week I spoke at a event organised by the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism on Israel and its growing ties with the global far-right. I explain how Israel’s permanent occupation is an inspiration for many nations now (and yes, this is also partly the subject of my next book out in 2023):

Who is Israeli politician Naftali Bennett?
With the likely rise of Israeli politician Naftali Bennett to the position of Prime Minister, I was asked to comment by global broadcaster TRT World: “Netanyahu’s likely replacement, Bennett, will not help to improve Israel’s image.

“Battle-testing” weapons during unnecessary conflicts
