A month before Charlie Kirk's killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others "hammered" Kirk for the conservative leader's growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington.

Michael and I chatted about Trump’s tariffs, emphasising the need to see them as political tools that standard neoliberal economics can never fathom.

The Gaza war, a military event that will go down as one of the most despicable in history, has not belied this merciless dictum.

The second lie concerns nothing less than the objective proclaimed by the most powerful combatant: the extermination of Hamas. The third, but by no...| An internationalist Articles Selection & Review
