You are absolutely right Leah. Scotland, and the future independent Scotland, I want to live in, can't be isolated from such events but needs to play its full roll in world matters. There is nothing more important in international relationships than the genocide we are all watching unfold in Gaza. You are also right to say that silence in the face of this genocide is compliance with it.

Totally outrageous this is happening. Or NOT, in this case.

The last paragraph concerning the use of anti semitic claims by Israel has now become a catch-all cop out against anyone one person, group or even a country that attempts to put the blame on Israel and its now all too common war crimes being committed against the Gazan people in any shape or form.

Yes, calling someone an anti-semite is how Israel and its supporters try to shut down any criticism because they know there is no defence for what they are doing. Trouble is, people have eyes and can see what's happening. This genocide is playing out on social media, in real time.

I just don’t believe what this world is coming to. Entire societies full of hypocrites. Well done, Leah, for shouting our collective disgust from the rooftops.
