When the Bombs Go One Way: Israel, “Self-Defence,” and the Perpetual Excuse Machine

Posted on June 17, 2025

A Strike… Then Shock? There’s something grimly impressive about Israel’s ability to bomb another country and then, with a perfectly straight face, act utterly outraged when someone dares to hit back. One might almost admire the sheer audacity—if it weren’t for the fact that it keeps resulting in massive loss of life, destabilised regions, and the slow, grinding demolition of international law. Iran: Forever Just About to Go ...

Does Nigel Farage Really Believe What He Says – Or Is It All Just a Lucrative Pantomime?
