Even from a completely cynical point of view, I'm amazed that there's been no serious attempt from within the Israeli state/establishment to remove him, by any means necessary.

Israel has spent most of its existence trying to build/maintain legitimacy among Western liberals, as well as internationally. They absolutely need this for their state to be a viable project in the long term.

This genocide and everything else about that man and his government has bulldozed right through that. It's basically impossible for any remotely normal person to be able to defend what's going on. I never thought I'd see the day when people like lifelong Tories I know IRL feel sympathy towards Palestinians and such disgust towards the stage of Israel.

Agreed. Of the supermarkets I go to, lidl make the weakest ones.

Bag for week would probably be more accurate but doesn't quite have the same ring to it ๐Ÿ˜‚

I feel like the thicker 'bags for life' are a bit of a false economy. I could be remembering wrong but with those, you need to use them something like either 12 or 20 times for them to work out as being less harmful than the old disposable plastic bags.

I try to avoid using them where possible but where I can, but when I have, I can't say I've been able to use them more than 5 or 6 times on average.
