When the next phase of their occupation inevitably comes to pass, supported by the incoming Trump administration, I wonder how our government will respond. More hand wringing, no doubt, but joint aims will have been achieved. It seems to me that this is all about the US asserting and expanding its power in the Middle East, testing lethal weapons, and seeing how much the public can be gaslighted before they reach tipping point. Israel is perhaps just a puppet for the US, because without their support very little of what we have seen in Gaza would have been possible. The Biden administration, UK government and other states have the blood of every single murdered Palestinian on their hands.

Nor the US, I don’t think. Keep up the great work!
Well, so much for that. Coming soon to the US!
