    Then the Israelis can release those in detention and let them go to Gaza, as the rights people want, because there will be plenty of room.
    Have you been in detention in Israel or have you been reading propoganda, because there is certainly plenty of that doing the rounds.
    It is the famous 'they' that seem to pontificate about all and sundry, however, it 'they' haven't done anything to stop the detentions, having had 35 years to do so, then 'they' are not worth listening to -----all talk and no action. 'They' need to get Jeremy Corbyn on board ---he would sort it out or is he just talk as well?

    I see no reason whatsoever for flippancy. On Thursday, Israeli airstrikes killed at least six people in Gaza City and 19 in the rest of the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian authorities. The civil emergency service said the bodies of at least 30 Palestinians killed in the previous three days also laid scattered on unreachable roads in Gaza City.

    What are 'they' doing about it. So many concerned people and organisations apparently, however, nobody does anything except talk about it.
    We can talk about it, however, we can't do one thing about it, even if we tried, it is way out of our hands and those who could do something just don't bother, they just create a fuss.
    Flippancy, cynicism, inaction ---they all go together but don't get too concerned, I'm sure that the Peace Envoy did all he could when he was appointed to the post after taking us to war in Iraq.

    And yet the US/UK global police alliance continue to arm a military machine that murders innocent civilians.
