We were so excited to be able to see Eliana with beabadoobee as they head out on tour just as the new album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves, hits No 1 in the UK album charts.

The Nassar family of Tent of Nations farm are well known around the world. This development must be strongly opposed with actual consequences if settlement plans continue.

The escalation of military violence in the occupied West Bank is deeply concerning. The Palestinian Authority has issued an urgent appeal calling on the international community to intervene to protect hospitals and medical workers who are under attack from Israeli forces.

Yes, good. But without being backed up by actions this has no impact whatsoever. The situation is fast deteriorating and without consequences Israel’s strategy will continue regardless of those who are ‘deeply concerned’.

Take a look. Just take a look at this. This is what Israel’s West Bank policy is ALL about. ‘Since the war everything has changed’, he says. You’d better believe it.

This is very welcome news. It is an important step although it’s late in the day. The UK is moving in the right direction but there is a good deal more to be done. aje.io/h7cp05

What an amazing fundraiser! Jews, Muslims and Christians walking together to raise funds for St John’s Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. It’s a parable for our times. Please support this sightsaving work. Saving Sight in Gaza Humanitarian Walk - JustGiving justgiving.com/campaign/stjoh…

It’s been a grim day remembering 72 precious lives lost in the Grenfell Tower. The report is damning in almost every way and no surprise. Thanks to BBC Radio 4 Today for 72 seconds of silence and for thoughtful reflections from Graham Tomlin on BBC PM.

It’s good that in House of Lords Rachel Treweek was able to raise deep concern of Israel’s actions in the Occupied West Bank. Disappointing response from the government minister #savealmakhrour Alice Kisiya

Archbishop Justin is being kept informed of the worsening situation for Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank. Also received an update on Alice Kisiya and the theft of her family’s ancestral land near Bethlehem. A virtual meeting with Munther Isaac منذر اسحق was important too.

Various news items relating to the continuing horrendous situation in the Occupied West Bank and in Gaza gives a good sense of the micro and macro issues which are impacting. Grateful to Rachel Treweek and others for keeping issues alive in the UK. Don’t look away.
