In reporting the Amsterdam violence as antisemitism, the western media didn't make a mistake. They knowingly aired disinformation. They peddled fake news. Admitting that requires a troubling recalibration of perspective if we are ever to understand the world we live in.

The darkest days in Europe’s history are indeed back with us. But not because a bunch of Israeli football hooligans ended up receiving as much violence in Amsterdam as they tried to dish out. It is back because the West is all too ready to embrace Israel’s anti-Arab, anti-Muslim bigotry.

Israel is not “remaking the Middle East”. It is destroying the world as we have known it for generations. What Israel has made clear, supported by western capitals, is that there is no safe place, not even for those recovering in a hospital bed from Israel’s earlier atrocities. There are no “non-combatants”, no civilians. There are no rules. Everyone is a target.

If you were horrified by October 7, but are not more horrified by what Israel has been doing to Palestinians for more than half a century in its prisons, then you are either in a state of deep ignorance – hardly surprising given the lack of media coverage of Israel's despotic rule over Palestinians – or in deep denial.

British Jewish leaders are incensed by Britain's 8% cut in weapons to Israel. Judged by the very rules Starmer imposed on Labour, that makes him a proven antisemite. Hear my other takeaways from the UK's decision on arms sales to Israel that the media are hiding.

Western politicians and media are never going to admit that Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. The moment they do, the veil of illusions fostered for decades about Israel – designed to conceal the West’s complicity in Israeli crimes – would be torn away.

Britain's authoritarian new prime minister Keir Starmer is expanding the scope of already draconian laws to redefine his critics as 'supporters' of terrorism. His goal: to terrorise into silence opponents of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
