The left and right take the same reality-based view of the world but respond to it in different moral terms. Liberals, on the other hand, live in an alternate universe – of pure make-believe.

Israel has justified bombing a Gaza hospital because an injured Hamas politician was there. The laws of war only ever seem to be forgotten when it is Israel violating them.
Sympathy for Israeli former captive Eli Sharabi must not obscure the bigger picture: he has allowed himself to be recruited to Israel’s propaganda campaign for genocide.
It is President Trump and his administration that must be held responsible for every Palestinian death from here on out.
Pressured into removing a humanising portrait of Gaza’s children, the BBC offers instead a series on Israel-Palestine that frantically revives the very narrative that made the genocide possible
One of the biggest lies promoted by the US and Israel is the pretence that, in slaughtering Gaza’s children, Israel has been acting in the interests of Israelis held in the enclave.
Walter Salles’ new film on the disappearances of regime critics in 1970s Brazil is a powerful reminder that the ghouls who defend the slaughter in Gaza are biding their time

Only in a world of political make-believe would the Wall Street Journal’s account of Biden’s years-long cognitive decline, and its concealment by his officials, count as a scoop.
Syria’s future under al-Qaeda spin-off HTS will come in two flavours only. Either submit and collude like the West Bank, or end up wrecked like Gaza.
Suddenly, after years of misrepresenting Hamas, western politicians and media are desperate to clarify – if only in Syria – the difference between jihadists and Islamic nationalists.
Either Guardian journalists don’t care about police accruing powers to jail journalists for doing journalism, or they have no real control over the material the paper publishes.
The media constantly deploy an antisemitic trope: that on Gaza, it is Israel pulling the strings in Washington. They get away with it because this trope is crucially useful to the western power elite.
