Increasing interest rates now isn't going to push inflation back, it will just hurt ordinary families and small businesses.

Interest rates are the one blunt instrument they weild.

'Kahn says she never experienced antisemitism before October 7 ... But she says something changed after Hamas attacked Israel and the war in Gaza.'

Khan knows that it wasn't the Hamas attack that fuelled antisemitism. It was the Israeli over-reaction that fuelled it.

Anti-Zionism not antisemitism.
