This story in the New York Review, by Nathan Thrall, is heartbreaking. I believe they removed the paywall, but if you can't see it let me know and I can share.

Thrall had a good piece in the LRB in January criticizing liberal Zionists. I'll definitely be looking for anything that he writes going forward.

Israelis are doing just fine:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-covid-endgame
"Israel has faced international condemnation over its decision not to vaccinate millions of Palestinians who live under its military control. During the past couple of months, the government agreed to donate several thousand doses. It also completed a programme to immunise 100,000 Palestinian workers who regularly enter Israel and Jewish settlements for work.
Still, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are expected to spend further weeks or months under strict restrictions and are experiencing relatively high infection rates. They are partly relying on a World Health Organization initiative to deliver vital doses.
Niv-Yagoda said it was “in Israel’s interest to vaccinate the Palestinians and to help them”. He was encouraged that the government was taking some steps even though they were “a little late’”
"A little late"...some sick joke or what?

Did we do this story ?
UK school textbooks on Middle East conflict altered to favour Israel
Publisher says it is now pausing further distribution of the books which it had amended after a complaint from UK Lawyers for Israel
In one example the original version says that "international law states that a country cannot annex or indefinitely occupy territory gained by force". This is the overwhelming international legal consensus.
The revised version replaces this with: "Some argue that international law states that a country cannot annex or indefinitely occupy territory gained by force".
In another case, the original edition includes the statement that during the first intifada of 1987-93 "the arms and fingers of [Palestinian] child stone throwers were broken [by Israeli soldiers]". This fact is well documented. In the revised edition it has been removed.
The Deir Yassin massacre (in which Israeli forces killed at least 107 Palestinian civilians) is described in the original version of the International GCSE textbook as "one of the worst atrocities of the [1948] war". In the revised edition the word "atrocities" has been replaced by "acts".
With regard to Palestinian suffering under Israeli military occupation, the original version states: "To make money, many Palestinians had to work in Israel, where they did unskilled jobs even if they were well educated."
The revised version reads: "While some Palestinians benefited from higher wages from working in Israel, they often did less skilled jobs even if they were well educated."

Just imagining how Varioius activists would respond if say Iran or Hamas were claiming the right to condemn Israel as evil based on religious texts
