Let’s See If They Uphold the Law
I’m not a huge fan of racial vilification laws (as distinct from incitement laws), such as Australia’s notorious Section 18C, but, if we must have them, then surely they must be equally applied to everyone? Yet, to date, there’s been a notable slant in the few prosecutions

Be One of the Brave Few

We’ve Had Enough of the Whingers

Why Antisemitism Is Likely to Grow
Barry Brownstein AIER Barry Brownstein is professor emeritus of economics and leadership at the University of Baltimore.

India and Israel: New BFFs

This Is How History Repeats
Both George Santayana and Winston Churchill averred that “those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it”. This is true enough, but it is also true that, while history often repeats, it rarely does so by carbon copy. The trends may be the same, humans
The Trojan Camel Is in the Gates
