Progressive leaders in the Jewish community need to wake up and smell the coffee. The other organisers of the march do not want peace, justice, or any rights for Palestinians.

This only confirmed the rhetoric we saw earlier in the week. This wasn't a march to free the hostages, it was a march in support of the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.

The leaders of Progressive Judaism were just booed off stage at the 'March for the Hostages'. Why?
Because they spoke in support of the Israeli ceasefire movement, said that only a hostage & ceasefire deal would get the hostages home safely, & that Palestinians have the right to self determination.

This is a very tough and painfully honest interview with an analysis of the inequalities within Israel (with regard to its 20% Palestinian population) as well as its current atrocities.

But neither, surely, is Trump’s narcissistic bomb-drop?
There are very few questions to which war is the answer, and Iran's nuclear enrichment is not one of them.

It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

When Putin's partner Dmitri Medvedev says this, you do have to wonder even more about what Trump has wrought with the Iran attack:
"A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads."

Entertaining Test Match in part because both sides are a bit flawed, as well as having great players. Too many bad balls, bad shots, bad drops all round.
