Thomas Fazi in UnHerd chronicles the puzzlingly opaque journey of the lab-leak theory from forbidden topic to plausible discussion point and back again.

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.

Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
