The consequences for the West in response to its extreme inhumanity and criminality will be profoundly destructive and may well continue over time, eked out in a way that we'll have no clue as to when, if ever, the debt is paid. So be it.

Beautifully written, heartfelt and acute analysis Joel. Thank you.

The "increasingly unacceptable positions" of our politicians, indeed. Not to distract from their wishy washy response to Gaza, but I'd like to go a bit OTT. The Nats leader Littleproud a few days ago showed his contempt for the electorate while sitting next to Sussan Ley, after her Press Club address. "The fundamentals still haven't changed...the mob will turn, as they turned in this election they can turn again." All "the mob" need apparently is a Nats kelpie to corrall them, then off to the slaughter, as the natural order ordains. Unlike the cockies and townies, he'd never call the mining barons a "mob".
