As we wait with very little bated breath for the outcome of talks on the Russian/Ukraine war, I think we all know that Trump, duped by Putin, can’t solve this problem; atrocities continue in Gaza, without Netanyahu being held to account, it may well be the Israeli people that eventually get rid of him; and in the West bank Israeli settlers keep up there agression on the Palestinian villages, goaded on by their right wing extremists intent on genicide.
I had the unfortunate, yet enlightening, experience of watching and reading this BBC Verify account today.

What has happened to international law? Both Putin and Netanyahu are war criminals, and yet get all the plaudits and headlines from some quarters. Are we still selling arms to Israel or buying gas from Russia? I will not sleep easy tonight.
I should have gone for a walk instead of watching the news.
I share your feelings of despair. I also find it hard these days to raise much interest in anything that might come out of the orange one’s ramblings and tend to limit myself to only brief snatches of “news”. I did find this worth a read:

Thank heavens for the hills.
Thanks.
I had read that Bylinetimes article which gives some hope.
