I find myself rather especially moved by this latest episode:

Gazans Pour into Egypt after Gaza Border Fence Breached

Quote
Amr El-Kahky, Al Jazeera's correspondent, reporting from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, said that Egyptian security forces did not take any action over the entry of Palestinians.

It's possibly the fact that Egypt has a lot more to loose by terrorist activity than Israel economically that makes it so emotionally potent for me.

And where is Britain's "Chuck-The-Russkies-Out" Foreign Secretary all the while?

I'd have to say that one of the most moving things I've ever seen was this:

Only bringing it up because I don't think it deserves to be forgotten.

That's quite bizarre, Ollie. I am at this very moment in time writing the liner notes for Edward Harper's Symphony No 2 (chorus & orchestra), whose 3rd movement sets a narration of that very incident.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that's a story that deserves to live when much of the daily onslaught of hair-tearing news from those parts has been forgotten...
