Like many people you may have been watching in horror at what is happening in Israel and Palestine. You may be painfully up to date, or have no idea what's going on.

Either way, here are some simple thoughts on what is happening, a very brief oversimplified context, and some accessible actions you can take. I really urge you to act in any small way you can, because it all adds up.

Disclaimer: the situation both now and historically is INCREDIBLY complex and so I have tried to just stick to the basics. If you want to understand more, look at Quakers in Britain's EAPPI initiative, and the Amos Trust.

Content warning: inexplicit/ top level mentions of death, invasion, murder, islamaphobia and racism. No graphic descriptions.
