Israel has overwhelming military power, but moral power rooted in peace and justice is completely absent from Zionism. This is the power that has inspired millions to shout "Free Palestine" in cities around the world like never before.

Martin Wolf (FT) on how the world see the USA (right now):

'What is far clearer now... is that the US is no longer a credible world leader. If it can elect this man twice, it has lost the plot. Why would it not elect someone even worse? Such a country is incapable of providing reliable global hegemony. What it provides instead is an unpredictable wrecking ball'...

and hence, as I've remarked before, the slow but sure pivot away from the USA as an economic partner is well underway!

Yes.

Also getting tired of the media looking to paint Lewis as a radical. He's really not, he just believes in collective solutions, publicly funded and publicly owned.

There's some new ideas for sure, but much of what he proposes is stuff we used to actually have in this country before everybody became obsessed creating opportunities for private profit funded by the public purse.
