An email arrives:
I support Israel but not Israel’s government and nor should you – a government responsible for war crimes in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. People are asking the question whether you might be paid for airing your ultra Zionist propaganda.
But in reporting facts some folks think I must be paid. I guess it is always about the money with the Jews isn’t it?
For the record, I stand with Israel. I also stand with Britain’s Jews facing rising hostility in the face of blood libels reported by the media and repeated by the political and chattering classes.
I know this is not a mainstream view. It actually costs me money as folks cancel subscriptions to ShareProphets in protest at what I write and try to put me out of business with threats to disrupt planned events. But that is not the point.
I write what I believe whether its in calling out anti semitism or stockmarket frauds, money never comes into it and threats and smears do not deter me.

War crimes? That would be having an incredibly low civilian to combatant death ratio as it specifically targets Hamas fighters in a war started by Hamas on October 7, and in a way that Britain and the US did not target combatants in Iraq. The only wholesale ethnic cleansing in the Middle East was the wholesale eradication of the Jewish populations of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, etc in the late 40s and 50s.
