I’m sorry but you have to laugh. The guy was being violently aggressive and provocative to Corbyn, Corbyn gently moves his hand and the guy starts screaming that he has been attacked. If this isn’t the most symbolically reflective of the Israeli state then I don’t know what is
One reason the inflation debate inside economic is so intense is that since 1970s neoliberals hegemony has rested on consensus that only way to fight inflation is monetary austerity. Neolibs know they can't afford to lose their policy stranglehold to other options

@RadioFreeTom We have 82k people in federal prison on drug charges, many of which were only "trafficking" in the same sense she was. The US has no room to criticize anyone else about their handling of drug crime.
