           The last episode in my 10-part serial about wildlife crime & conservation on the Pembrokeshire bird-islands. It’s been a great pleasure to get this stuff out where somebody might actually read it. Previous episodes at  https://t.co/1yQgvEdNj5.

             More than 10,000 people are believed to be buried under the rubble in Gaza. All told, there is an estimated 60 million tonnes of debris there. Since Israel is not letting in heavy equipment, it could take years to retrieve the bodies, and even then, some will not be found. That

             I suppose that the target of 100% destruction is too temptingly close for a cease-fire to matter. 
           With less than 8% of homes remaining in Gaza the IDF continues to blow them up. The systematic destruction of every single structure to prevent life continuing. Welcome to a ceasefire and peace - Trump style. Dystopian and demonic Fuck Israel

             The settlers appear to be equal-opportunity genocidaires.

             So the Israelis DO have a police force on the W. Bank. It’s just that they only defend (& attack) the WRONG people.

             Israeli authorities are very upset about Sde Teiman. Not about the torture and murder there, mind you. But about the whistleblowers who revealed it. The torture there continues, as the broken bodies of the Palestinian hostages returned show clearly.

             The IDF is finally doing something about the leaked footage of prisoner abuse in Sde Teiman. Namely, investigating the leak and suspending the Military Attorney-General who ordered the abusers' arrests. Can't make this up.

             The Israelis have killed 93 Palestinians since the ceasefire was declared on 10 Oct. 6 a day. If this was the other way round it would be dominating world media and Starmer and Lammy would be going on TV to make solemn statements of outrage. As it is - not even reported

             Seems about right. If you follow local social media accounts, the future is mostly negative. No new houses unless they’re somewhere else! No solar farms. Or wind turbines. Or grid-scale batteries. And most of all, NO FOREIGNERS, which means in effect no NHS, etc. 
           The UK - booms by becoming Europe's global financial centre. Until the GFC. Then decides it doesn't like finance. Or Europe. And the rest of the country decides it doesn't like London. So what's the "strategy" now? Argue about flags and immigrants?

             The story of the "ceasefire" so far is that Israel break it every day endlessly, claim Hamas did and try to get American approval after every invented violation. So far Trump has contained them. BARELY. It won't for long.

             The story of the ceasefire so far is very clear. Hamas has found itself fairly desperate for a deal, so they are doing everything it can to make it work. Israel is just aching to restart the genocide and wants to find the right pretext to get Trump's support, and is violating the 
           There are no living hostages in the hands of Hamas. They have released them all. But 3,500 Palestinians are being held by Israel under "administrative detention."
