: more than 130 Palestinians have been killed in fighting in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since the beginning of 2022, and 29 Israelis have been killed in stabbing, car-ramming and gun attacks. Another 49 Palestinians, among them 17 children, were killed in a three-day Israeli aerial offensive on the Gaza Strip in August.

— from the link.

179 dead in an area of a few hundred miles in length.

The recent election of Netanyahu doesn’t portend well, in my opinion.

Events in Iran, Qatar, Yemen, Ethiopia plus food prices of Egypt contribute to instability or the feeling of instability.

I am using words which are often used to whitewash violence. “stability “, “security “. “inflation “

What this really means is: some people don’t have much food and may starve to death. my particular area is safe, but i do hear of people going without food in my neighborhood.

I’d say more but i hope for better sources when i do.
