Dominic Green, fellow of the Royal Historical Society, writes of the ridiculousness of Prince Harry’s new ghost-written autobio Spare – and of the book’s delusional, Mommie-obsessed main character. Rife with references to Shakespeare, Green illustrates how Harry has allowed his familial jealousy to degrade him from prince to turncoat to fool, giving up a life of service for TV and tabloids.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
