An ‘abject, squalid, shameless’ debate at the Oxford Union

Category: Politics

The Oxford Union is set to host a debate on whether Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide, with Prof. Gerald Steinberg invited to defend Israel. Steinberg critiques the debate's premise, drawing parallels to historical instances of propaganda and highlighting the misuse of terms like 'apartheid' and 'genocide' in the context of Israel. He argues that the Union's choice of topic reflects a troubling tradition of political propaganda rather than genuine debate.
