Anyone wanting to submit a link or article for posting should reckon with the site’s editorial preferences
1
Democracy preferred to dictatorial regimes and movements.
2
Human rights for all, across the
Middle East.
3
Celebration of the diversity and vitality of the cultures of the Middle East.
4
Rejection of tyranny, misogyny, homophobia, racism, and theocracy.
5
Opposition to racism in all forms –the racism of the far-right and far-left, racism against people from Muslim majority countries and backgrounds, and the resurgence of antisemitism.
6
Support of the right of both the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples to self-determination through a negotiated lasting peace and a two-state solution.
7
Defence of Israel’s moral worth and inherent right to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
8
Stand with the Palestinian people in their legitimate aspiration for a nation-state of their own.
9
Criticism any nation state is legitimate. But the de-legitimisation and demonisation of an internationally recognised nation, on race, isn’t criticism but racism.
