It seems to me that the Universe has organised a collective of the vilest people of all nations and arranged to dump them in the Middle East as Israeli settlers. I caught interviews Channel 4 did with a number of settlers last night about their plans to take over Gaza once the fighting has stopped. Extraordinary displays of religious and racial supremacy on display. And the genuinely shocking thing - not all of them were white Europeans or Americans. What should happen to the surviving Palestinians asked the reporter. Ireland, the UK, the US can take them said the settler. Zero empathy, zero concern. No awareness that other people can be attached to land, history, tradition, kith and kin.
