@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Love your podcast but your explainer makes it sound like the two sides are equal when it comes to fire power and global lobby influence. You also don’t mention that the land under British mandate was called Palestine and that Jewish settlements are illegal under international law

"Afghanistan's children are not dying in battle, they are dying in camps, homes and hospitals.

Tiny children who have played no part in their country’s past, who will be lucky to live long enough to play a part in its future."
