PR and, bluntly, propaganda from the Insurance industry that compensation to people who have been injured as a result of negligence is the cause of higher Premiums can be tested.
And yet, when the cycle begins again, nobody ever mentions the industry failing that test.

It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."
This is a war crime.

As a young photojournalist living in Gaza, Fatima Hassouna knew that death was always at her doorstep. As she spent the past 18 months of war documenting airstrikes, the demolition of her home, the endless displacement and the killing of 11 family members, all she demanded was that she not be allowed to go quietly.
“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.” Continue reading...

The government of Israel has been particularly and acutely reactive to criticisms of its actions and policies because Ireland represents an almost uniquely threatening combination.
1) It is an EU state (but small).
2) It speaks English and has a ready audience in the US and U.K.
