A view from inside Israel
A lot of reports of the situation within Palestine and Israel are coming out currently, either from people working in Palestine, or in the mainstream press from outside. As a Jewish person myself I found this report from inside Israel extremely important and reassuring, as it gives information about the strength of feeling by many Israelis in the country against what is going on. This is not a race issue, and most people who are upset by the army's behaviour and the governments policy in the occupied territories are reacting in humanitarian and political dimensions, including all those Jewish people outside of Israel who are campaigning against this system and this regime. So for the inspiration of others like myself, for the consideration of those who have seen only reports of Israelis as army members, and for those who argue aggressively and often hotheadedly that all criticism of Israel is somehow anti-semitic (themselves the only ones aplying this race-label), here is a report I received a couple of days ago from the Israeli Peace Group Gush Shalom, who do fantastic work in the midst of an increasingly fraught and in many areas degenerating society.

Shaheedah in Nablus, Palestine
The roads from Asira Shamaliya to Nablus city, the regional capital, have been closed for some time. Those trying to brave the mountain trails or skirt around settlements risk military aggression. Kamleh Mohamed Asa'd Sawalha was a recent victim.

Musings from inside the Asylum System
Most people are aware of the fairly scandalous nature of the UK's attitude to refugees. But in the last few weeks, working at a refugee support centre, I found my general disapproval of the asylum system intensify into absolute horror at the reality of the effects of our policies and the appaling mentality revealed behind them.

Video, multiple formats, 4:08 minutes. A group of concerned Cambridge residents recently demonstrated in front of the detention centre in nearby Oakington, where asylum-seekers are detained while their claims are being processed and (usually) rejected. Inmates in the detention centre have recently been engaging in hunger strikes and civil disobedience to protest conditions inside the camp and the extraordinarily long length of their imprisonment. The facility's regulations state that people should be kept inside for 7-10 days, but some inmates have been detained there for over two months.
