Israel - Gaza - Palestine CONFLICT
This topic & discussion has started to take over other threads. Arguably this conflict is of high enough importance & significance that it makes it worthy of having it's own thread on ST.

Meanwhile in other news: Over the last 24 hours, both the President AND the Chairman of the Trustees Board of UPenn (University of Pennsylvania) have resigned. Rightly so I suggest. Same issue as at Harvard - University Leadership missing a moral spine & resorting to wishy-washy virtue signalling.
Finally, good to see a clear & unsanitised mea culpa coming from the UPenn President.
"In that moment, I was focused on our university’s longstanding policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable,” Magill said in the video message. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate.”
