Perhaps one might suggest to Benjamin Netanyahu and his enablers that Golda Meir did not mean by his statement to set the bar as high as possible. Millions of displaced people have lost their homes, jobs, and family members at Israeli hands.

I’m not really sure why Palestinians should oppose tunnels being built - presumably these provide shelter in the event of Israeli air raids, and support wider logistical clandestine activities more generally while under military occupation.

The attitude appears to be that Palestinians should just take what’s coming to them and be grateful. Something no population, anywhere, is likely to do. Nobody would criticise Ukrainians for building tunnels, in their own land, and lobbing a grenade at a Russian from one.

This is a hypocrisy that will only make our own streets less safe in future years.
