sobriqueOK, so I take it everyone's up to date on Israel vs. Palestine, in the latest episode?
There's a bit more on the subject: http://eumelia.livejournal.com/377630.html
Basically, the situation there is getting rather ugly - Both sides are quite firmly intent on killing each other, and the collateral damage (civilian casualties) are mounting.
This is getting worse, as essential supplies are running out by the hour - food, water, that kind of thing.
You may not care. But if you do, it's worth a little bit of your time to shout at someone about it: http://www.amnesty.org.uk/actions_details.asp?ActionID=551
It's a link to a template letter, to our Foreign Secretary.
I won't plug Amnesty overly, beyond saying I signed up a while back, and haven't since regretted the decision. But if you're inclined to do so as well, they're quite keen to have a donation: http://www.amnesty.org.uk/content.asp?CategoryID=11484
or get you to sign up:

It doesn't take a lot of money - £2/month, is enough and goes to helping making Human Rights, actual Rights, not 'Optional Extras'.
