Timely look at an area where as much horror and devastation is ongoing and has been for years, but which "the eyes of the world" ain't looking at, for some reason.
Simple reason for that Doddle - Israel has the west in its' back pocket! No excuse for recent events in Israel - None!! but, and it is a big but, Israel has got away with fragrant abuses of human rights on this occasion, and illegal (proven) actions over time! The U.S.A is an unashamed backer of Israel, and 'the usual suspects' do not even address the issue of the west bank, or the rights of the Palestinian people when talking about the middle east question! In fairness, Biden appears to get the need for a 2 state solution - should, however, the 'peroxide plank' get a second chance, that will be well off the table! The mood music is not good, with Blinken etc saying that Hamas can - in absolute terms - have no role in the future of the west bank! Understandable perhaps at one level, but it would sound to me were I Palestinian, like I had little or no say in my own future. That never translates in to a solution!
Netanyahu is a well dressed bully!!

3/3 The final one saw Rusty making Bangers n Smash, which some random "michelin-starred" chef then couldn't tell the difference from the same meal made with proper potatoes. She also got to make a Fray Bentos-style pie from scratch. Elsewhere the story of discounting, "Asda price", out of town shopping, barcodes and the Honey Monster.
Overall a fascinating series, though perhaps more if you're of a certain age.
The 1970s Supermarket... at Christmas
A lengthier follow-up which saw Rustie making Brussels pate, vol au vents and trifle from a box, whilst the science dude made cheese footballs, after eight mints and sprouts. Also chat about various products such as the chocolate orange - which succeeded the chocolate apple, but was not replaced by the chocolate lemon.
