Britain’s ban on pro-Palestinian author Sally Rooney makes it a laughing stock “Actions have consequences,” British Minister of State for Skills and former home secretary Baroness Jacqui Smith said of Palestine Action, the protest group proscribed as a terrorist organisation across the United Kingdom.

When Western governments try to suppress protests against Israel's alleged genocide, readers end up with the censorship of leading authors like Rooney

The West’s double standard on global unrest In the early days of the student protests in France, mainstream Western media took the protesters’ claims about poor school facilities and declining resources at face value. Only when the violence spread across the country, and to some of its European neighbours, did people begin to ask whether deeper causes were at play. Leftists blame social 1 View

For its autocratic African ally, Taiwan bites its tongue and opens its wallet Eswatini probably does not register on most people’s mental maps. Its relatively recent name might sound unfamiliar as many people still know it as Swaziland. That it demands attention from pundits like yours truly has much to do with it being the only African country that still formally recognises Taiwan. It is also the continent’s only absol 1 View
