Bosses at The RSA have decided that they prefer to drag the charity’s name, and their own professional reputations, through the mud rather than treat their staff with respect.

It’s disgraceful and it has to end.

Why do German politicians blame immigrants for 'importing' antisemitism, or call on Muslims in the country to distance themselves from Hamas?

I spoke with Esra Özyürek, who's studied what she calls the 'outsourcing' of German Holocaust guilt to Muslims
