Just under a year ago, I posted an essay about the events that occured one year ago today. It met some push back, but I still stand by what I wrote then. The tragedy is still unfolding and in fact spreading across the region. So I’ve written another piece today. To avoid potential problems (I suspect there may be some issues with Vivaldi moderation) I’ve posted it on my Travel blog, The World According to Travellin’ Bob, since in a past life I worked for a year in Beirut and six months in Tel Aviv. You’ll find the essay on the following link, and I hope you find time to read it – and my apologies in advance if it causes offence. Again, I stand behind what I’ve written.
