Thanks for a comprehensive news round up. Just a comment. All these initiatives by western governments state that the Palestinian resistance must disarm and renounce violence. I don’t see any statement about Israel disarming and renouncing violence. Not only grossly hypocritical, but just shows that the paternalism and subtle racism of these leaders indicates their minds are still stuck in the colonial era of the nineteenth century. Nowhere do I see any proposals that based on the idea that the people of Gaza have every right, like other humans in the world, to decide who should govern them. I’m so tired and disgusted with the governments of Europe, the US and my own country.
If the high school students in Gaza can still manage to hold onto enough hope to study and sit for exams, then the adults watching in the Global North have to hold onto hope and do whatever we can to try to stop the flow of arms to Israel.
Will this ever end? Will our legislators ever agree on anything? Is it true that US generals have been summoned to Washington DC regardless of where they are stationed? Is WWIII coming in 2026? I'm off to read Unmapped Storylands by Elif Shafak to clear my head. Thanks, Jasper.
