Israel is easily the most demonised nation on Earth. Despite the Jewish State being a liberal democracy, Western activists spend vastly more time raging against it than they do genuinely despotic regimes. We’re told Israel is committing ‘genocide’ in Gaza, that it is going out of its way to kill civilians in its war against Hamas, that it is an ‘apartheid state’. But none of this bears any resemblance to reality. Here, barrister Natasha Hausdorff debunks the anti-Israel myths, which she says have become a kind of new blood libel.

Kamala Harris has been hailed as the candidate of ‘joy’. But is there any substance beneath the supposedly feelgood vibes? Here, Lionel Shriver – author of Mania – tells spiked that there’s something fraudulent about Harris, who she says has never had an original idea nor held a consistent principle. Shriver also weighs in on the interminable ‘Trump is a fascist’ debate, the incompetence of Tim Walz and the dangers of a tight election result.

More than 28million were killed. The global economy was wrecked by two years of lockdown. Incalculable damage was done to health, education and liberty. The Covid-19 pandemic was the deadliest and most destructive disaster of our lifetimes, and yet there is still no official explanation for its cause. Here, Matt Ridley – co-author of Viral: The Search for the Origin of Covid-19 – talks to spiked about why a lab leak is almost certainly to blame for the pandemic. He explains why it’s no coincidence that the virus emerged from Wuhan, China. And he reveals what top scientists like Anthony Fauci knew in 2020, but tried to keep suppressed.
