“brutal” escalation by Israel

“disruptions” in Red Sea by not mentioned

Not exactly fair and balanced

Consistently so. The hardly mentioned villain in this piece is Iran. It has chosen to prioritize supporting anti Sunni and anti Jewish efforts in the region way over its own. economic growth. On economics read Tooze, but on politics read Tom Friedman.

Thanks for responding. The issue was “fair and balanced”. I guess you don’t read Friedman, hardly an apologist for Netanyahu. Nor am I. But on the economics reread Tooze. While the Gulf States are flourishing Iran and the groups it supports have all slept.

The majority of Jews in Israel, not to mention Arab, Bedouin, and Druze citizens, are “brown” people with origins throughout the MENA region, not Europe.
