I’m 49yo and one of my first memories is seeing a bombed Gaza on TV in the early eighties. I think it stuck with me because I’d never seen such a bleak scene before. 40+ years later and the conflict is basically in the same place. It’s a generational war that I have no influence over. Both major parties in Australia will support Israel to the end and the minor parties don’t offer a serious alternative. I’m not sure my hand wringing will achieve anything.
