Back in February, Canadian-American novelist and journalist Omar Al Akkad published a book titled One Day, Everyone WIll Have Always Been Against This. “This” was Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. That day seems to be getting closer by the minute.

The graffiti was short. It attacked a state and its army. Some locals saw a hate incident. The council said it will not tolerate racism. The police have treated the case as one that could be a hate crime. That choice matters. It raises questions about where law, politics and grief meet. 

Israel’s military is accused of creating a secret “legitimisation” unit to justify strikes that killed Gaza journalists after four Al Jazeera reporters and three of their media colleagues died in a single strike outside Shifa hospital.

Each case follows a path: step one, speak to broad concerns; step two, build a base; step three, drop the veil. At that point, the speaker shows the kernel of intent behind every coded phrase.

He implied that it being on a DWP jobsearch site somehow linked it to the government. It's a paperwork job, basically, filling in forms and filing - but Nigel, pearls in hand, evinced such foaming outrage that you'd think it meant his wife was going to be stoned to death as an infidel.

By expelling Jeremy Corbyn and sidelining figures like Rebecca Long-Bailey, the leadership may have believed it was neutralising a threat. But what the Labour right viewed as a show of strength has revealed itself to be a fatal vulnerability - a political Achilles’ heel.
