The American philosopher Michael Walzer, author of Just and Unjust Wars, in an essay published in the French and Italian issues of K. this week and in English in our partner journal Fathom, describes the choice facing Israelis not as a clash between the right and the left, but between two political approaches.

On October 27, Israelis will vote for the first time since October 7, following four years of a government accused of cracking down on opposition forces and nearly twenty years of Benjamin Netanyahu’s almost uninterrupted dominance of the political landscape.

On September 13, Sweden’s general election produced one of the closest results in the country’s recent history. To govern, the centre-left depends on the Left Party, embroiled in a series of scandals involving antisemitism and indulgence toward terrorism; the centre-right depends on the Sweden Democrats, a party born in neo-Nazi circles. David Stavrou describes the…
