No one seems to have noticed that Israel is quietly and brutally annexing the West Bank while the world is distracted by Trump's chaos in Iran.

I understand this has come up elsewhere on SW (thanks to @DeWayfarer) but this is the first time I have seen it mentioned. I have been concerned about this for a long time (as have many others, I know) but at the moment the TV news programmes have so much going on of an eye-catching nature and have only so many resources to report the many serious conflicts going on, it is a wonder we hear much apart from that which affects the West's oil needs.

There has been sufficient reporting on the BBC about outrageous attacks from 'settlers' on those already settled on the land not designated for Israeli occupation originally, that in other circumstances there would be an outcry like that over Gaza.

I am a believer in the right of Israel to exist, but the current government is brutal and arrogant. In that respect, it is not unique.
