Israel has gifted a powerful weapon to the right wing around the world

I went on The Electronic Intifada podcast to talk about my new book. It was good to be on my own podcast as a guest for once!

This was definitely my favourite of my podcast appearances so far and felt like the culmination of years of reporting.

We had a really good discussion on the issues raised by my book. Probably the most memorable point I got across was this:

It’s such a useful weapon for the Israel lobby. And it’s such a useful weapon for the right in general, for everyone from the right wing of the Labour Party to the Conservative Party, to even the fascist right … [are] using this false, weaponized anti-Semitism as a really useful political weapon against the left in general and this is a weapon that the Israel lobby has given the right around the world, and it’s such a useful weapon that it won’t ever be abandoned … It’s going to be used over and over again, it can’t be swept under the rug, it will never go away. It can only be defeated.

This isn’t going away any time soon folks! So you better read up.
