I am ashamed to say tat I have suffered from war fatigue. I have turned over the news to avoid hearing about the deaths of civilians in Gaza. The Israelis are trying to keep the public aware of the horrific attacks by hamas with a constant trickle of new evidence – layest was body cams footage. Corbyn is correct in that there needs to be a ceasefire – a comment also fordefully made by Stephen Flyn of te SNP. Starmer seems scarred by Labours past disputes with Zionism and basically echoes a watered down version of whatever Sunak says.
Only with a ceadefire can wider conflict be avoided – Israel has already bobed targets on the West Bank whilst confict with Hezbollah in lebanon is never far away. Will Israel provoke Iran and thus cause a major confrontation. The oil price is creeping up suggesting that this is a possibility.
