More bits

Free speech continued - more in relation to Geert Wilders and the Salman Rushdie fatwa anniversary:

• Katha Pollitt in The Nation is uncompromising [h/t Jogo]
  
• Greens Engage (and Dave in the comments thread) is interesting

Left antisemitism and Israel/Palestine:

• Peter Tatchell asks why does the left ignore Hamas' oppression of Palestinians [h/t GE]
• Howard Jacobson asks what "criticism of Israel" means today [h/t GE] (Shorter version at the JC, focusing on Caryl Churchill's Seven Jewish Children)
  
• AWL's open letter to The Guardian on left-wing antisemitism [h/t GE/Shiraz]
• Eric Lee of LabourStart debates Gaza with the AWL

Other weighty matters:

• Max Dunbar reviews Steven Lukes on moral relativism, and then defends himself against Richard, pro-faith SWPer. (And who is Max? Find out here.)
