I regard myself as far too old to be “woke” and am certainly not left wing after a working life time spent running a business. On the other hand, from what I have read about the Israeli military operations in Gaza, serious questions have to be asked about crimes against humanity given the civilian casualties caused in the pursuit of Hamas. So I suspect it’s not just the woke left wing world that views the Israeli government actions with, shall we say, distaste. Why anyone would attack an individual female Israeli thousands of miles away from Israel is equally distasteful and totally illogical. Given the additional assault reported in the article the attacker would seem to be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or mentally unstable. The whole Palestinian thing may just have been an excuse to commit violence against someone, anyone. He then moved on into town and picked a fight with someone else for some other reason.
