I am unsubscribing from the New Statesman newsletter because the piece today on Yahya Sinwar was simply an ill-informed repetition of Israeli talking points, not journalism. There is intelligent well-informed criticism to be made of Hamas and Sinwar (listen to Adam Scatz's conversation with Yezid Sayigh on the LRB podcast) but this was certainly not it.
Perhaps unrealistically, I expected a better, more neutral and real analysis of what is happening in Gaza and Israel. That piece was none of the above, therefore in my view not worth my time reading it.
