Reform UK "investigated" Dan Jukes and James Orr, and it magically cleared them. Anyone who welcomed that should welcome the Green Party's internal exoneration of Lubna Speitan, which ought to happen on the principle that sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander.
Five days after the Green Party conference vote on Zionism, no broadcaster has been able to find a Palestinian to interview. But far from downgrading the British Consulate General in Jerusalem, which is 110 years older than the State of Israel in which it has never been located, that mission should have been upgraded to the British Embassy to the British-recognised State of Palestine. It still should be.
The unrealistic people are the proponents of a two-state solution, the borders of which will never be agreed. Ultimately, the only viable option is a single democratic and nonracial state at least from the River to the Sea if not throughout the former British Mandate, with constitutional rights, including the right of all of its citizens to live anywhere on its territory, upheld by an independent judiciary and by vigorously free media. That is undeniably remote now. But so what?
