Last night I watched the documentary on BBC 2 about the attack on the Israeli Music Festival by Hamas. How anyone can not justify the Israel response is beyond me. The footage had me in tears, innocent young people enjoying a festival were hunted down and shot like animals , the terrorists were all laughing and smiling clearly enjoying their actions as if they were playing a video game, One poor girl could be seen naked in the back of a pick up truck held down by 4 or five men , while others spat on her. It's not hard to imagine what fate awaited her. And yet Israel are now perceived as the baddies in all of this for retaliating to an unprovoked attack. Where were all the protests against Hamas. Unbelievable.

GrannyGravy you are absolutely correct. Unfortunately we have Ed Milligan in charge of our energy policy so I think there’ll be a change of mind.

DH and I both said, before all this happened, that the Port Talbot blast furnace should not have been shut down until the new more environmentally friendly furnace was ready to begin operations.

The decision to close Port Talbot was made when the Conservatives were still in government.

chathamhouse.org has extensive information on the Middle East if anyone wants an in-depth analysis.
