“…douze pays, dont la France et le Royaume-Uni, de sanctionner le commerce avec les colonies israéliennes, illégales dans le droit international.
Ed #Miliband, le chef de la diplomatie britannique, descendant de réfugiés juifs, dénonce à cette occasion «un nettoyage ethnique en cours en Cisjordanie perpétré par des colons terroristes» - une déclaration fracassante à la Une, ce matin, du Independent. INews fait état de la «fureur» de l’Etat hébreu face à ces accusations, qualifiées de «mensonges scandaleux» et de sa décision de fermer le consulat britannique à Jerusalem en représailles. La décision du gouvernement britannique est critiquée par The Times. Le quotidien conservateur soutient que «les sanctions britanniques n'aideront en rien les Palestiniens» et que ces mesures «pourraient s’avérer extrêmement contre-productives et risquent d'attiser les flammes de l'antisémitisme».
Andy #Burnham, le Premier ministre travailliste, justifie sa position dans The Guardian. Selon lui, ces sanctions «ne visent pas le peuple israélien mais les politiques inacceptables» du gouvernement Netanyahou «et les souffrances qu'elles infligent aux Palestiniens». «Je crois en une solution à deux États au Moyen-Orient. C'est pourquoi nous agissons pour que cet espoir demeure», écrit-il. Ce discours ne convainc pas L’Opinion. Le journal évoque «une annonce qui ne mange pas de pain» et qui n’a «pas de quoi inquiéter le gouvernement Netanyahou et ses alliés d’extrême-droite». Le quotidien français rappelle que l’UE avait déjà décidé, en 2015, d’étiqueter les produits des colonies israéliennes - une mesure «largement contournée par Israël comme risque de l’être la future «interdiction»». Interrogés par The New York Times, d’anciens officiers de l'armée israélienne préviennent pour leur part que «la violence des colons en Cisjordanie» et leur «impunité» «détruisent les valeurs démocratiques d'Israël de l'intérieur».
Israël, où #Haaretz affirme que Benyamin Netanyahou avait été informé de l’attaque du Hamas avant le 7 octobre 2023 sans transmettre cette information. Ces révélations sur un appel du président des Émirats arabes unis, qui aurait averti Netanyhou d’un danger imminent ne surprennent pas Yediot Aharonot, pour qui cet épisode «s'ajoute à la série de signaux d'alarme tirés avant le 7 octobre», notamment par l’Egypte, et dont le point commun aurait été la façon dont Netanyahou y aurait réagi, avec «ennui et indifférence».

So in the grand scheme of things this will be merely an annoyance for the Israeli government, but all European countries need to ramp up the pressure and not let them get away with the theft and murder on the West Bank. Interesting US response.

Im using the UK rail system now and again when Im there, and Im genuinely shocked at how clunky and slow it all seems to be. Unless youre going to major cities (and even that too sometimes), it largely seems to involve stopping at every little station along the way. Anytime trains are sometimes massively over priced. There seem hardly any direct or 'fast' trains.

Cities In Great Britain Most Vulnerable To Extreme Heat Revealed
(OS index examines which ‘urban heat islands’ suffer the most – and which cope the best with rising temperatures)

H/T @joe Clarkson | Campaign Manager - Diffusion PR
“[The H/T] work[ed] … closely with Ordnance Survey (OS) on new research into which of Britain's cities are most vulnerable to retaining extreme heat, and how that vulnerability shifts between now and the turn of the century as record temperatures continue to climb…
The newly commissioned OS Heat Vulnerability Index scored 71 cities across Britain using #4EI satellite temperature readings, @Met Office climate modelling projections from 2040 to 2100, and Ordnance Survey data on the makeup of natural and made environments in our cities. Put together, it measures how global warming will impact future heat vulnerability, and how urban heat islands form; a process in which hard surfaces absorb solar radiation through the day to keep centres warm overnight, while rural environments cool.
Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to stand on a Tube platform or walk through central London this summer, or tried to sleep through a heatwave in a flat that hasn't cooled in months already knows what retained heat feels like. But it's more than an uncomfortable feeling. Extreme heat is claiming an increasing number of lives each year, and location-based intelligence like this is essential to support decisions on how we effectively mitigate and protect against climate change to save lives and protect critical infrastructure.
What this analysis does is put a number on extreme heat, and shows where it's heading. As Britain's climate continues to warm, the capacity of our cities to cool themselves naturally will only matter more…”
