Deep dive

A short prompt for thinking it through. We write a fuller side-by-side deep dive for the day's biggest stories.

The paradox: A party that preaches local partnership risks losing them over foreign policy.

What each side may be protecting: Greens: freedom to criticise a state. Critics: Jewish people's safety and belonging.

A question to hold: Shared question: what would Jewish members and pro-Palestinian members each need to hear from the party?

Try it: open one left and one right article in Sources by lean and note what each takes for granted.
