Strongly recommend Louis Theroux film on Israeli Settlers. He tackles complex subject with clarity and empathy. Left at the end wondering how on earth there can ever be reconciliation. But as Bronagh Hinds said on recent Haaretz.com podcast, people used to say the same re NI

The Popemobile will be turned into a health clinic for children in Gaza. One of Pope Francis’s final wishes was for the car to be gifted to Gazans as a mobile treatment centre. Now, it is to be re-fitted with equipment for diagnosis, examination and other medical treatments.

Embarrassed to live in #Katwijk today. Cycled past a big pro-Israel demonstration where one person was giving Nazi salutes (do they not know history?) and another was holding a picture of Palestinian children with the caption “future terrorists”. Disgraceful.

You don't understand, the good guys are the ones who burnt that little girl alive. The bad guys are the ones who are saying it was wrong. We need to censor them to make the baby killers feel safe x

It will also feature a little celebration of the Copernicus EU Sentinel-2 mission, which will be 10 years old on the first day of living planet!

I am Jewish. A good deal of the people I have met in the Free Palestine community are also Jewish. It is antisemitic to suggest that people have to accept genocide to be considered good Jews.

On 28th May the Birch glacier, above the Swiss village of #Blatten collapsed - sending debris into the village, destroying much of it. Today, the #Sentinel2 satellite overflew Blatten, letting us look at how the glacier evolved right up to the collapse. Really shocking scenes...

Incredible dynamic: Hamas keeps pushing for a provision that would see it relinquish power in Gaza and Israel keeps putting it back in to keep Hamas as the governing authority.
