Step inside, darling. The velvet parts, the martini trembles, and the foxes are already whispering. Welcome to Come In Pink, a literary séance wrapped in silk and scandal, where memory shimmies, identity sashays, and reality is served with a twist of citrus and subversion.
I once asserted that antisemitism ought to be prosecuted in the same manner as any other form of racism, and in response, I faced correction, abuse, and worse. Was my assertion valid, or were those opposing me correct?
En este episodio, Martyn Rhisiart Jones explora la polémica sobre si el antisemitismo debe ser tratado a la par con otras formas de racismo. Argumenta que una visión legal y equitativa, conforme a las leyes internacionales de derechos humanos, es esencial para garantizar la igualdad ante la ley. A pesar de la crítica por parte de opositores que defienden la ‘excepcionalidad antisemita’, se plantea la importancia de cuestionar las bases legales y las motivaciones emocionales detrás de esta postura.
Beyond the Myth of “Purity of Arms”: Uncovering the Documented History of Pre-1948 Paramilitary Violence

Spain, London and France, Wednesday 26th August 2026
A layered collage examines how truth, memory, and silence shape contested history.
For decades, a pervasive historical narrative has insisted that the conflict in pre-1948 Mandate Palestine was defined by a stark asymmetry of intent: an Arab population driven by ideological hostility on one side, and a Jewish community operating purely in self-defence on the other. Popularised in political discourse and corporate comment sections alike, this framing often relies on the assertion that pre-state Zionist military forces restricted their operations strictly to British colonial targets, maintaining an unblemished record of “purity of arms” (Tohar HaNeshek).
A richly layered travel collage brings iconic landmarks, cultures, and destinations together around a central globe.
Pip: Good Strategy Rebellion — where the strategy is occasionally just saying the quiet part loud, with footnotes.
Mara: Today we’re working through a piece by Martyn Jones that asks which countries keep winning what the post calls the Arrogance Olympics — and whether any of it holds up once you look past the stereotype.
Pip: Let’s get into the national character assassination, then.
