From Ukraine last year, to Nagorno-Karabakh last month and now Israel, it really does feel like there's a trend of people becoming more comfortable with using large-scale unilateral violence to solve problems. That trend itself greatly worries me; each instance normalizes and legitimizes the next.

For the first time today I felt really worried about the safety situation in the UK. There are so many police cars everywhere now (I think they tripled them) and what is going on in the several places in world now could be anywhere anytime
