The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades.

Accusations, however motivated, are always easy to make. Proving them in a court of law is quite another proposition. International law remains a terrain of […]
