I heard this was a really interesting and successful event - exploring how to teach the history of Israel-Palestine to A-level students. Glad to hear that more are planned. Well done, Mike!

Looking forward to listening to Francesca Albanese at the Balfour Project's Annual Conference, 'Human Rights in Palestine', in London next Wednesday. She has an article in the Guardian today: hard hitting and on target. lnkd.in/eKZTeR7w lnkd.in/eDd2ncZD

This ia a good article in the FT. IMHO, it's not credible that the new coalition will be any better than Netenyahu's gov. but it's good to see Netenhayu, a nasty, warlike man, out of power. Nethttps://www.ft.com/content/18f00186-af55-4fbf-9bda-5e71e7683965 via @financialtimes

Interesting chart from @IEA's World Energy Investment report on shifting investment trends #OOTT "Upstream spending by the Majors as a group has traditionally been well above the levels from their peers in the Middle East, Russia and China; this is no longer the case."

Hamas's actions appear as if they are signing up to Bibi's re-election campaign. What was their thinking? What single action can we do to take all the pressure off Netanyahu? Let's start sending rockets. Militarily useless (but dangerous to civilians) but politically destructive.
