18 January 2026 @ 7:20 pm

HitlerIf there’s one thing you can say about Hitler, it’s that he didn’t like people who were outside the ‘Aryan race’. If there’s one thing you can say about the modern American far right, it’s that they’re surprisingly diverse.

PolanskiEarlier this week, we reported that Zack Polanski — the Green Party leader — was tussling with the “notorious pro-Israel agitator John Mann (who is not Jewish)“, and also with the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
