I suppose I should say something about the current situation in Israel and Palestine. It’s terribly sad and has proved to be a very divisive subject in the UK and no doubt all around the world. Most people blame one or the other “side” but as far as I can see the people who are suffering are innocent people, men, women and children, on both sides. I do feel that the October 7th attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians have made a bad situation even worse. I know that there is a long and complex history in this conflict but surely there was just no point in suddenly attacking Israel like that. What on earth did Hamas think was going to happen next? And now more and more people are being murdered on both sides by bombs and rockets, and no sign of an end to it. This evening communications have gone down in Gaza and it looks like a large land invasion may be about to begin. It must be terrifying for the people in Gaza. My heart goes out to them and to the people of Israel too.
