The trouble is that Zionism is a nebulous term. Much better to have said that the actions of the Israeli State are in essence racist, discriminatory - a form of ethnic cleansing and genocidal.

I find it mildly amusing that people worry that Chinese business might export data and urge the use of US companies and products without recognising that the US entities are doing exactly what they fear the Chinese may do.

I've organised what I think is a great programme of food-related events for this year's @burylitfest.bsky.social. We have a special offer running on tickets right now and I'd so love you to attend. www.burylitfest.co.uk/food-programme
The festival logo (a fountain pen nib) and text that says "this year sees the launch of the festival's first dedicated food programme, curated by local food writer Nic Miller. The programme celebrates Bury St Edmunds' growing reputation as the food capital of East Anglia, piring the town's literary identity with its culinary culture and bringing some of the most exciting voices in food writing to town. Don't miss your chance to be part of this delicious new chapter."

I still hope for peace and cooperation to be the central essence of human interactions. Sadly I am witnessing hostility anger and violence based on stupidity and ignorance and a level of gullibility that almost looks like a desire to be manipulated by malevolent people.
