This blog section represents content generated between 7 October 2023 and 7 November 2023. Return to the main blog pages for subsequent updates.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commentary on social media and other media coverage on the current conflict and its repercussions (please see earlier posts on my content selection). I will continue to update this page. Many of these posts also feature on my X page (please follow @garybunt<\/a>), and are usually posted there first, along with related materials (there’s often a time lag between posting on X and posting here!). The intention here is to keep a record of these posts (X posts disappear from time to time). This relates to my interest in digital archiving<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands of potential posts, so what follows is only a snapshot of activities. Warning: there are images of violence and injuries in some posts. Sequencing is date-related. The page links back to the earliest days of this crisis, so scrolling and loading the page can take some time (depending on your net access). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with all other posts on my blog and elsewhere, reposting and retweeting is for recording, information and research purposes – and does not necessarily imply endorsement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
