I'm glad at last we are discussing it. Its got lost in...

The Israeli election coming up which is being hard fought

Trump, Netanyahu deals and war. My, N is a nasty piece of work some of the election deals coming out.

Stuff coming out of the West Bank, settler attacks on Palestinians on the increase - "legal" takeovers in more areas..

for example, Haaretz today;

"Meanwhile, Palestinians in the northern West Bank reported overnight settler attacks in the Tulkarm and Nablus areas, including the torching of several vehicles. At the same time, the government approved a budget of more than one billion shekels ($330 million) to pave roads and security routes serving dozens of new West Bank settlements that the cabinet legalized during the war. According to Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who submitted the proposal, the funding will enable the establishment of more than 100 settlements and 160 farming outposts.

(Haaretz).

and still Gaza suffer.

Horrible. I always feel complicit in it somehow, I don't think we do enough to condemn the way Gazans are treated.

It’s genocide, it’s horrific, it’s terribly sad.

It is a tragedy, with no relief in view.

What those people must be going through. Having had a few hot days gives us some understanding. To be without water and a home in the heat.The whole place is destroyed. And now Trump is waiting for Netanyahu to finish it off.
