curiously i think the situation is changing around israel. netanyahu has said as much publicly--the old assumptions about political consent from the united states are eroding. the settlements and the resulting apartheid system in israel are becoming liabilities in an increasingly obvious way.
of course that hasn't stopped israel from bombing gaza again.
strange how silent the world is about that. i don't say that in a conspiratorial manner. it's just strange that so little attention is being paid to the israelis using military gear against a civilian population again.
on the other hand, it's only palestinians.
