First Steps Toward Sanity
At least there’s an acknowledgement from both sides that a ceasefire is possible. The IDF and Hamas stopped killing each other for a few hours today, which shows they can all act sanely, at least for a moment. Perhaps, in the end, people will realize they love their children more than they fear their enemies. Sadly, judging by Hamas statements and Israeli resovle, I doubt it.
Noah Millman, on The American Scene, has written a clear headed and depressing assessment of the situation. Certainly worth reading. Until Israel ends the occupation and Hamas recognizes Israel’s right to exist, I see little hope here. Thank God for Seeds of Peace.
