Naza

Soldiers in the film Naza explain how they monitored children's phones to know the exact moment a father returned home, using that as the signal to launch a strike.

Naza sounds a must see film. It opens in Bucharest on 9 October and after its run at the cinemas will be streamed for free. Please go to see it if you want to know what is happening beyond the illusory world of the newspapers.

Retired US Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (once Colin Powell's Chief of Staff, the stage in his career of which he is least proud) recently said that what the IDF is doing in Lebanon 'is comparable with - no worse than what Hitler did.

An Israeli woman I had dinner with in Tel Aviv years ago told me the way some young IDF soldiers behaved was no better than the Nazis.

Sir Keir Starmer expelled Members of Parliament from the Labour Party for much milder criticisms.

That wonderful doctor in England Dr Aladwan keeps getting prosecuted for her criticisms of the IDF and vilified in the Dailly Telegraph as if she's the bad guy. Why is free speech restricted by conservatives?

I don't see proof that she explicitly supports Hamas but wants the Gazans to fight the occupier but why should support for Hamas or Hezbollah or the IRG be illegal in England?

These are disputes in far away countries between people of whom we English generally know nothing, to paraphrase Chamberlain on the Sudetenland.
