The biggest "casualty" of this huge game of "political influence" is the Palestinian people, a forgotten race of indigenous people who have been well n truly "shafted" for decades and decades!! Thankfully they have not been totally forgotten in spheres of society worldwide and that includes Scotland but the "powers of influence" in the west are "killing them" as well as Israel forces in tandem with the Israeli govt. There are charities that support the quest to reduce hardship in Palestine but they are still too little to properly resolve the probs.
