The Jungle Drums of War

Of course we are now allied to Assad.

Now, how about prosecuting for incitement those commentators, today so vocal for military intervention against IS in Iraq, who last year were encouraging the raising of International Brigades to support it in Syria?

And David Cameron with them? Tougher. But not to be ruled out.

More than anything, we need to start attending to people whose view is not that Israel (or an absurdly dated version of Israel, with both liberal and leftish features that many of them would not welcome here) is some villa in the jungle; some oasis in the economic, social, cultural and political desert of a Middle East about which nothing else is worth knowing.
