Following my acclaimed analysis of how I came to peace with the world, I feel moved to offer advice to the world: care less.This applies generally, but is provoked by the current Israel-Hamas war. All over the world, stupid ill-informed people wish their opinions to be heard (sample: Councillors call on Starmer to resign over Gaza). And everyone is so busy offering their SII opinions that they have no time to listen to anyone else's, let alone think. All the chanting crowds should go home, and attempt to find meaning in their own lives rather than in other people's.
This naturally spools out... SII people have been offering their SII opinions forever, the difference now is that other people who really ought to know better seem to care, in turn, about these opinions.
Naturally, this should not be interpreted as preventing anyone from commenting on this blog :-).

The usually numerate Graun has gone statistically silent on the Gaza bombing.
A short lived IDF Facebook page report said 6,000 bombs weighing 4,000 tonnes had been dropped in the first week following the Hamas rocket barrage , land raids and hostage taking .
As it has reported only escalation in its coverage of the five weeks of bombing since, the total tonnage dropped may already have approached or exceeded the tonnage dropped in the Blitz, which we know know, thanks to the bean counters of London's Bomb Project was somewhat higher than the 12 to 15 kiloton equivalent TNT yield of the Hiroshima bomb.
No wonder there's a US CV task force off the coast.
