Well both sides are calling each other liars as is the norm when war starts, Russia/ Ukraine being a recent example. Who you believe is up to the individual based on various information from various media outlets and as usual the messages are mixed. We can however deal with the facts of the death rates so far in the last 10 days and it is in excess of 4500 and climbing, utterly tragic and unnecessary and unfortunately the dead have had no say in the matter whatsoever, this is the harsh reality of war. Two Arab nations have cancelled their meetings with the American President, highly irregular and unprecedented, that bodes badly for what is coming next. The bloodshed is going to be colossal and if people are not going to discuss aid reaching Gaza or the possibility of a ceasefire then I’m afraid the Middle East could explode into something not seen in that area for a very long time indeed.
