Simon and Schuster run from social responsibility

Simon & Schuster Run From Social Responsibility

Simon & Schuster, one of the “big five” English-language publishers, believes that publishers have responsibilities beyond selling books. We know because Simon & Schuster told us so in their self-stated mission to ensure “equity and a safe environment” for all. Yet Simon & Schuster is actively republishing the work of Susan Abulhawa, an author who has celebrated political violence, repeatedly used dehumanising language about Jews … Continue reading Simon & Schuster Run From Social Responsibility

Lambeth Palace, Archbishop of Canterbury. a train out of control

The Church of England is a runaway train – and its driver is out of her depth

Within the space of a few days, two Church of England institutions were forced into humiliating retreats. At Lambeth Palace, the Archbishop of Canterbury withdrew an award she had personally presented to Hafiz Tahir Ashrafi, a leading Pakistani cleric who was honoured for “reconciliation and interfaith cooperation”. Ashrafi was no genuine interfaith operator. He helps uphold Pakistan’s brutal blasphemy laws, has supported the persecution of … Continue reading The Church of England is a runaway train – and its driver is out of her depth

Hey Mohsen: You Asked to Be Judged by Your Words and Actions

Hey Mohsen, I’ll be honest. I almost wrote this as an article directed at the American public, titled “Hey America – You’re Being Played!” But in the end, I realised that if I am going to speak plainly, it is better to address you directly. So here it is: My starting point would be this, Mohsen: if you really want to convince people that Mohsen … Continue reading Hey Mohsen: You Asked to Be Judged by Your Words and Actions

The Clueless Hate Preachers in Liverpool

Whichever city i visit, I invariably come across a pro-Palestine street stall set up along the main shopping street on a Saturday afternoon. Last weekend I was in Liverpool – and when I spotted one, I did what I always do – stopped to have a quick chat. This one was of particular interest. Being in Liverpool, this was not your usual gang of elderly … Continue reading The Clueless Hate Preachers in Liverpool

Hey J Street – Have you lost your mind?

The U.S.-based Jewish progressive advocacy group J Street is joining the ranks of useful idiots who have come before. Are we to be suicidally empathetic? Is that J Street’s message? If so, that’s not a side of the street any Jew should be on. On July 28, J Street posted an urgent message claiming to speak in the name of the “Jewish community” and calling … Continue reading Hey J Street – Have you lost your mind?

How an Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory Became a Community Note on X

This is not, … Continue reading How an Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory Became a Community Note on X

Abandoned: Christians Killed Without a Word of Protest

On 27 April 2026, 14-year-old Rida left her home in Lahore, Pakistan to buy food for her younger siblings while her parents were at work. Rida was abducted by a Muslim man named Muhammad Saqib. Three days later, he presented the child before a court, claiming she had converted and willingly married Saqib. Just a few weeks ago, on 12 June 2026, another 13-year-old Christian … Continue reading Abandoned: Christians Killed Without a Word of Protest

The PFLP Was There on Oct 7. The Archbishop Should Not Have Met Its Supporters

I will keep this as brief as possible. Following my article on the Archbishop of Canterbury meeting with two women with a history of PFLP affiliation, several people contacted me with a variation of the same response: “So what?” It is hard to believe that, after October 7, there are still people with so little understanding of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine … Continue reading The PFLP Was There on Oct 7. The Archbishop Should Not Have Met Its Supporters

Edgware protest Jewish Life

The Squeezing of Jewish Life in Britain

The attack on British Jews is relentless, Jewish life is being squeezed out of the UK, and the recent uproar over a property event in a synagogue in Edgware is just the latest example. You may respond: “but, but settlements”. And I will say this: If you have become emotionally invested in arguments over real estate from “disputed territories” in Israel being sold at a … Continue reading The Squeezing of Jewish Life in Britain
