Spiked Entebbe review
10 Jun 2018My review of the recent Entebbe film was published on spiked on 21 May. In 1976, Palestinian and German terrorists hijacked Air France Flight 139 and flew it to Entebbe, Uganda.

Spiked article on Jerusalem
21 Dec 2017My latest spiked article, published on 14 December, argues that it is not only Donald Trump who is grandstanding about Jerusalem. It was guaranteed to send self-righteous politicos into an uncontrollable rage. The man they hate above all others, Donald Trump, recognising Jerusalem as the capital of the country they loathe most of all: Israel. […]

Israelkritik als Judenhass
10 Sep 2017On 7 September Novo magaine published a German translation of my spiked essay on Israel and anti-semitism. Seit dem Sechstagekrieg gilt Israel vielen Kritikern als Apartheidsstaat. Die Obsession mit israelischer Politik befördert Antisemitismus. Vor 50 Jahren erlitt die arabische Welt ein schweres Trauma. Im Juni 1967 hatte der winzige Staat Israel in nur sechs Tagen […]

German translation
19 Feb 2017Novo magazine has published a German translation of my spiked article defending rational man. Die Verhaltensökonomie bietet eine pseudowissenschaftliche Legitimation für antidemokratische Einstellungen. Unsere persönliche Sicht auf politische Zusammenhänge hängt zu großen Teilen davon ab, ob wir glauben, dass Menschen dazu fähig sind, vernünftige Entscheidungen zu treffen.

In defence of rational man
In: Uncategorized
1 Feb 2017Last Friday spiked published an article by me on behavioural economics. An individual’s stance on politics largely depends on his view of the capacity of humans to exercise reason.

Warum Obama Netanjahu hasst
14 Apr 2015Yesterday Novo published a German translation of my recent spiked article on why the American president loathes the Israeli prime minister. Barack Obama kann den israelischen Premier Benjamin Netanjahu nicht ausstehen.
