Lockdowns showed that states can pour massive resources into making the politically impossible happen quickly, the public will accept huge changes if they understand why they're needed, and that we should listen to scientists. Something to remember when it comes to action on climate change.

One day you or I may need to cross a border in desperation like this and, if and when we do, every one of us would hope to be treated, and indeed discussed, with more dignity and respect than these people, rather than dehumanised and hated for our misfortune.

The result in the UK is a country that now keeps hundreds of political prisoners, a country in which you can get six months in jail for marching slowly down the street. Protest here is acceptable as long as it’s useless. Let the people have their say, but only if we can’t hear them.

Earlier today, during operational activity in the area of Hebron, IDF soldiers perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them.
An IDF soldier responded with single shots toward the vehicle. As a result, three Palestinians were injured and evacuated for medical treatment.
An initial inquiry found that those injured were uninvolved civilians. The incident is under review, and the findings will be submitted for review by the relevant authorities.
The IDF expresses deep sorrow for any harm caused to uninvolved individuals.
