Time Is On Both Their Sides

Another war, another truce Israel leaves so many ends loose, and yet Dozens die, so Thousands may live The horrific result full-scale war might give The Jewish State pulled out of Gaza in 2006 As thanks, it's had aught but terror attacks since Yet, retaking Gaza with a punishing all-out assault Of that, Israel is not (at all) convinced ... What's the best way to handle this stubborn impasse Time has a way of coming to the rescue -- Look! Egyptian and Israeli soldiers ~ friends at long last* ________________________________________________ *Nearly fifty years after the deadly Yom Kippur War of 1973, Egyptian and Israeli soldiers, once the bitterest of enemies, embraced publicly, openly weeping in each other's arms, at a 'joint ceremony' at Ben Gurion Airport in 2022.

I am happy to learn. That they came to their senses eventually, it is a pity that it took so long. Better late than never, I suppose.

Kinda hard to believe that the 'war' lasted for only 5 days (of intensive fighting) this time.
