Well, well, I see that it has been announced today that Israel has authorised further building of illegal settlements in the occupied territories and in East Jerusalem, the day after the overwhelming majority vote in the UN in favour of Palestine's status. Is there a limit to the extent of the arrogance of the Israelis?
Meanwhile there is fierce fighting in the vicinity of the airport at Damascus, with the rebels now having possession of what are reported to be "heavy weapons" plus shoulder-launched ground-to-air missiles.
And in Cairo, Tahrir Square is once again the scene of vigorous protests.
Is it my imagination or is it fact that there was once a Middle-East Peace Envoy in the person of that slippery fellow Blair?
If fact it was, where is this all-powerful factotum, this peace-wallah? Has he perhaps decided to take a back seat and spend a little more time with his money?
At least I never voted for him, just as I never voted for his now-prosperous wind-baggy predecessor!
Until the next time
