As we see more and more horrors – attacks on Venezuela, collusion in the killing of participants attending peace negotiations in Qatar, and the continued acceptance of the deliberate slaughter of all human beings living in Gaza – we realise that Charlie Kirk’s “hunch” might have been right.
No abomination, it seems, is too base for certain people. No abomination!
Fortunately, a small ray of decency is making its tortuous way along the Mediterranean. Like a flock of white wagtails seeking winter quarters in the Middle East, some 40 to 50 civilian boats with fluttering Palestinian flags are on their way to Gaza with food, water and medicines. With thousands of participants from more than 44 countries, the Sumud is the largest civilian-led convoy of its kind in history, according to Wikipedia.

Reuters writes: “Italy and Spain have deployed navy ships close to the flotilla for rescue and humanitarian tasks.” Bravo, Italy. Bravo, Spain. Because there have already been a number of drone attacks on the flotilla.
But what about Norway? There are 9 Norwegians in the flotilla. And what about Germany, France, UK? Was recognition of Palestinian statehood no more than nauseating hypocrisy? Are the leaders of the European states no better than the leaders of the USA, i.e. so vile that they merit being locked away on a diet of bread and water for good? 19 sanctions packages against Russia and a military build-up unheard of since WWII, but nothing – absolutely nothing to stop the killing machine in the Middle East.
Disgusting, quite simply. Sickening.
