Harry's Place is a popular pro-war blog in the UK. The blog was set up because "few blogs in the infant UK blogosphere offer a democratic-left perspective"[1]. Harry's Place (HP) describes itself on its website as "a forum for debate about the post 9-11 political situation". It adds:

HP was the venue for heated discussion of the Iraq war, the ‘anti-war’ movement, the Islamist far-right, the decline of the Marxist left, the rise of left anti-Semitism, the slow death of internationalism, Zionism and Anti-Zionism and also examined issues relating to religion and secularism.[2]

Critical assessment

The following is from the Jews sans frontieres' blog:

I've done a few posts on Harry's Place, a hard right wing hate site that seems to promote a leftish image of itself. It's main man seems to be a chap who prefers anonymity so he calls himself David t. It looks like an impressive blog and has a large following if the comments are anything to go by. The comments are usually abusive non sequiturs aimed at anyone who dares challenge the HP orthodoxy. Readers of Melanie Phillips in the UK or random zionist hacks in the US will be familiar with the style and the content. I suppose it is a UK equivalent of the US's Little Green Footballs.[3]
