Rogue state.
Israeli soldiers intentionally fired at a delegation of about 30 Arab & EU diplomats, ambassadors and consuls, visiting Jenin refugee camp, in the West Bank. Israel claims "it was an accident" and that they fired "warning shots" because they "felt in danger". Israel was trying to intimidate them.

Daniel makes an interesting point here: AI separates the value of "the thing itself" from the value, in terms of human relationships, that comes from a person having created the thing. It enables the creation of products shorn from the context of human relationships.

One of the more pernicious aspects of the Gaza famine is the way Israel has weaponized the narrative of the local Hamas gov't stealing and hoarding aid. Civilian police in Gaza seem to be securing aid by fighting armed looters, but the IDF targets them to worsen the crisis.
Hamas executes looters in Gaza as food crisis worsens under Israeli blockade
Hamas officials accused some of the looters of working in collaboration with Israel, which has sealed off aid from entering Gaza for the past two months. Israel has not commented on the allegation.

Because the Cons got a 41% of the popular vote (vs. 43% for Libs), gained 25 seats (vs. 8 for Libs), greatly outperformed projections, made significant gains in the GTA, lost because of the Trump effect and temporary collapse of NDP and Bloc, and another election could happen within a few years.
