TRT World interview on Israeli attacks across the Middle East
Today I was interviewed on global broadcaster TRT World about increasingly brazen Israeli attacks across the Middle East (forgive the brief technical issues):
When anti-Semitism is weaponised to silence criticism of Israel
The anti-Semitism “crisis” consuming the UK Labour party is largely an attempt to silence serious criticism of Israel IMHO. I was asked to comment on just one angle of this story by Phil Miller in the UK newspaper The Morning Star: Labour has been labelled “undemocratic” after the party revoked a press pass for a…
TRT World interview on Trump’s anti-Semitism

A day in the life of the Jordan Valley
During my recent reporting to the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank, I took many photos/videos to document the grim reality for Palestinian shepherds dealing with the Israeli army and aggressive settlers. The US magazine Mondoweiss has published my photo essay about those experiences.
When Arab and Muslim states get intimate with Israel
Why are growing numbers of Arab and Muslim states getting cosy with Israel?
