    U.S. State Department has put out a warning to Americans travelling abroad to be on guard for personal safety. 

    Biden's embrace of Israel by participating its war cabinet meeting on his recent trip to that country is proving to be a game changing disaster for America. Putin is dancing with joy.

    I concur with Prof. Cole's assessment below.

  2. From a New York Times article of today 10/18/2020:

    On Wednesday, the Anglican archbishop who oversees the hospital said that the Israeli military had called and texted the hospital managers at least three times since Saturday, asking its patients and staff to leave the hospital compound, along with the displaced Gazans who had crowded onto the grounds because they considered it relatively safe from aerial bombardment.

    Archbishop Hosam Naoum, the head of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, which runs the hospital, said in a news briefing on Wednesday that in recent days, large numbers of Gazans — 5,000 at their peak — had taken shelter at the hospital site to escape Israeli airstrikes.

    Archbishop Naoum said the warnings were particular to the hospital, and not part of Israel’s wider push to encourage civilians to leave northern Gaza for the territory’s south.

    “There were specific warnings to get out of the building,” the archbishop said.

    US vetoes UN’s call for ‘humanitarian pause’ and corridors into Gaza | Israel-Hamas war | The Guardian

    From the article: The dispute over responsibility may have little resonance among the Arab public. A former French ambassador to the US, Gérard Araud, said: “The truth about who was responsible for the Gaza hospital strike is now irrelevant. Public opinion has decided: Israel is the culprit. All the explanations won’t do anything. This is a major defeat for Israel. It will have political consequences.”
