All eyes are on Israel as the airstrikes continue and a possibility of a truce being discussed. It is amazing how much attention a relatively small nation of 7 million can draw.. Why? Cos there are 5.5 million jews there. Cos she's the holy land. Cos Jerusalem is there..
As I try my best to follow and be updated of what is happening, I cannot help but think will this be the last war?
Israel O Israel, how many years and how many attempts have others tried to bing you down. But the 6-sided star just will not fall.
After the late night talks and with EU meeting in Paris, many are pushing for a ceasefire and for peace talks to be on the way. However, we are talking about very violent people here. Will it be successful? There's a saying "a gentlemen's war". Will it be so for this case? Where the rockets now have longer range, practically the whole of south Israel is in danger. No one knows when will the rockets strike and where. "Iron Dome" will take at least another few years to complete. But by then, will it still be useful? Hamas has already issued a warning or rather a promise to Israel that "rockets will be on your daily agenda"...
On the south of Gaza strip, will Egypt open its borders? On the east of Gaza, will the Israeli tanks march in? US, with all the transition due to a change of president, may not be that well positioned to look into this situation in the mid east...
I think we can only watch and pray on for now.
