Same old cycle. Terrorists attack Israel, and public opinion rallies around them, and then Israel counterattacks, too viciously, and opinion swings against them enough to cause huge divisions among everyone else. And every generation thinks they’re the first to feel they care about the oppressed, but are powerless to help address the underlying causes of that oppression. So they just spew virtue signals at each other to feel better about it all, briefly. Humanity is just a hot mess.

Definitely time for something different in both countries - Conservative/Labour & Democrat and Republican feel very outdated in the 21st Century!

Palestine: Shireen Abu Akleh shrine desecrated in the West Bank
The site of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing in Jenin has been bulldozed and her shrine desecrated, in an unexplained early-morning operation on 26 October.

Things you should not apologize/say sorry for:
- that you speak non-english language
- that your content is not in english
- that your timezone is inconvenient for North Americans
Some schools disciplined students who protested, other schools sat down and had conversations.

Younger people may be surprised to learn that tens of millions protested the invasion of Iraq and the press basically ignored it.
We have a whole generation in the UK with very little idea of consequences.
But when you look at the current middle east situation, our ruling class are setting a fine example for them to follow.

@zleap @jacqui76 @harriettmb @Loukas Agree, but also, the west - the US and the UK in particular - need this as well.
@SteveClough @jacqui76 @harriettmb @Loukas
Agreed
Add new meaning to: out with the old, in with the new.

As I said, it is about the right people at the right time, prepared to do the unthinkable for peace.
It is obvious to the world that Israel and Palestine isn't ready for that sadly.
Track record of the Saudi regime on human rights is clearly a side issue that is not important.
Agreed, a lot of kids are seen as troublesome and are treated as if the will cause problems,
If they have a short fuse, knowing that allows adults working with them to implement mitigations before things even escalate even a small amount
Israel needs a new generation of younger politicians who see peace as an option

@zleap the short answer is: domestic and international politics.
With this level of collective hatred, there will never be a peaceful solution.

My dad just came into the room where I’m working and said:
“There’s a new person at work…He’s a she. I mean… She is a she… Now. We’re supposed to call her that now.”
[long pause]
“Anyway… I don’t care about this gender, pronoun, stuff. It’s not my business. All that matters is that she’s very helpful.”
[dad pauses thoughtfully]
“She’s a good colleague… Don’t understand all this fuss about people’s gender these days. She works hard and is always friendly. This media malarkey… About what’s in their pants. Don’t make sense to me.”
“These ‘journalists’ should spend a day with her and see the trans people are good and honest regular folk.”
Based dad???????????
Having worked in schools I more than agree with some staff esp senior leaders have a terrible behaviour.
Why do people have such a problem with this. It is about protecting innocent lives?
