365 posts
Checking my blog yesterday, I noticed that I had published 365 posts, one for every day of the year. Which, considering that the oldest post that remains is from the 24th June 2004, almost twenty one years ago, means that I've averaged one post every twenty-one days over that period. Mind you, I've not been consistent; there've been periods I've posted more, others I've posted less.

No War With Iran Will Erase Israel's Crimes in Gaza. Don't Get Distracted.
Israel has adopted a worldview in which every problem should be solved through force, and the people of Israel have become a collective that admires force and brutality while scorning dialogue and compromise.

The mostly European demonstrators, accusing Israel of “genocide,” were met with fierce opposition from Egyptian locals, who pelted them with clubs and water bottles, forcing them back and halting their advance toward the border. Many of the activists have since taken to social media claiming they were beaten, had their passports stolen, and are now stranded in Egypt. Several are pleading online for help from their embassies. One Egyptian pundit remarked: “There’s a reason Egypt has a huge wall and doesn’t let any Gazans in. What made these people think they could just ‘march to Gaza’ via Egypt?” Egyptian authorities have yet to issue an official statement."

Residents of Siyathi village in Mandi district, in India’s northern state of Himachal Pradesh, said their 5-month-old dog began barking around 1am on 30 June, just as heavy rains triggered a slope collapse that destroyed at least a dozen houses."
