Устроил нашим гостям-африканерам вчера завтрак в горах.
Сам-то я на этой неделе неделимо от неделия не ем, но гостей накормил. Судь-Ба их семьи очень похожа на Судь-Бу нашей. Такие же несчастные эмигранты! Ныне проживают в U.K. Сбежали из Южной Африки еще в начале нулевых потому что там теперь белым можно жить лишь в охраняемых вооруженной охраной закрытых комплексах. Коррупция, преступность, грязь на улицах. "Если тебя всего лишь изнасиловали и ограбили, а не убили, то считай что тебе повезло" - вот их слова об их бывшей стране. Эмансипированные негры это то же, что и эмансипированные российские низы. Когда подлецы получают власть - культуре, безопасности, нормальным правилам человеческого общежития конец.

We write as representatives of the British Jewish community, out of love for Israel and deep concern for its future.

The inclination to avert our eyes is strong, as what is happening is unbearable, but our Jewish values compel us to stand up and to speak out.

This is what we see: the last 18 months of heartbreaking war have shown us that the most successful way of bringing the hostages home and creating a lasting peace is through diplomacy. By the end of the first phase of the second ceasefire and hostage release deal, 135 hostages had been released through negotiation, just eight by military action, with at least three tragically killed by the Israel Defense Forces.

America, Qatar and Egypt again stood as guarantors of the release of all remaining hostages in the second phase of this deal, in return for Israel withdrawing from the Gaza Strip. A strong plan for the reconstruction of Gaza was approved and supported by the international community, to be managed by a Palestinian leadership, which would be a viable alternative to Hamas, financed by the Arab League.

At that moment, the Israeli government instead chose to break the ceasefire and return to war in Gaza with the “Itamar offensive”, so-called as it was Itamar Ben-Gvir’s condition for returning to the coalition, thus enabling the Israeli government’s budget to be passed within the tight deadline needed to avoid an election. Since then, no hostages have returned. Hundreds and hundreds more Palestinians have been killed; food, fuel and medical supplies have once again been blocked from entering Gaza; and we are back in a brutal war where the killing of 15 paramedics and their burial in a mass grave is again possible and risks being normal. Such incidents are too painful and shocking to take in, but we know in our hearts we cannot turn a blind eye or remain silent at this renewed loss of life and livelihoods, with hopes dwindling for a peaceful reconciliation and the return of the hostages.
