Building settlements illegally while claiming to seek peace is unconscionable and the ubiquitous silence on the part of my talented Jewish friends who I love and admire hugely is becoming louder and louder. The difference between why Israel was established after the second world war and that which is done saluting its name is increasingly indistinguishable with each passing day. That's an appalling observation to be forced to make and one which should not be ignored by those who recognise the value of ALL human life.
