Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.
Israel launches strikes in Gaza ceasefire's latest test as hospitals say 20 killed
Israel's military says it has launched new airstrikes against Hamas militants in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began on October 10.

Maybe not a classic Christmas gift but an “extraordinary” one. It could:
-change a GC mind
-bring a parent and child closer
-even reconnect them
-encourage a trans person to come out to a parent
-or seek safety abroad
These things have happened. Readers have told me.
What better gift to give?

This is a shocking finding and government needs to act. It’s high time we had dietary advice that follows the science not Big Food lobbying. But we also need a proper definition of what ultra-processed foods are, one that focuses on high in fat, sugar and salt.
