The latest is that the Israeli military are preventing delivery into Gaza of diesel required to run the sewage pumping stations. This is despite an order from the Israeli Supreme Court that such deliveries should be permitted. Israel has also been blocking for months the delivery of machine parts needed to complete a new sewage system. They started this action well before the present surge in unrest.

They know how serious the health problem is in Gaza, and has been for over a year. They don't care. Small wonder the "extremists" then retaliate in the only way open to them.

I stick to my viewpoint that this crisis is of Israeli manufacture and can only be resolved by a total about-turn in Israeli attitudes.

Can Israel and the USA not read the reactions they are generating around the world?
