That's a very effective description of what you are going through - 
really makes it clear how different situations are for different people 
on the list. I hope you and you family remain safe throughout this

Peter, it is a matter of finding a way to persuade. Persuasion may be 
very indirect. I much rather I did not even have to think of these 
things, because they are far beyond realm of my knowledge.

Subject: Re: Today morning, just recently

 From what I see the problem there is a bit more complicated than
simply controlling Hamas (even if that were possible).

My heart goes out to all Israelis who live with the fear of rocket
and other terrorist attacks. I can't imagine what that's like.

There is no justification for what Hamas does: it is criminal.

HOWEVER, Israel's response is completely out of proportion,
heavy-handed and seems bound to be ineffectual or worse.

Here's what I know:

Hamas is prepared to sacrifice innocent Palestinian civilians to win
world opinion and sympathy.

The government and military of Israel is prepared to sacrifice
innocent Palestinian civilians for all sorts of reasons that are
probably best discussed elsewhere.

As of last night 154 Palestinians and 0 Israelis have died since this
latest escalation started.

Each side blames the other and claims total justification for their
actions.

Someone needs to step up and choose peace. No one seems prepared to
do that. Accordingly this horrendous situation. Will continue.

Regards,

frank

Are you sure? Zos, I don't have FB acct and never had... More than that, 
I don't intend to open one, though one can never know what would happen 
next.


We live just south of Tel Aviv and presently it is well inside the fire 
zone... In fact, Tel Aviv is also well inside the fire zone, though IDF 
is trying very hard to reverse this status.


I appreciate your care. I most certainly and most sincerely do.

Re: Today morning, just recently

From what I see the problem there is a bit more complicated than simply 
controlling Hamas (even if that were possible).

My heart goes out to all Israelis who live with the fear of rocket and other 
terrorist attacks. I can't imagine what that's like. 

There is no justification for what Hamas does: it is criminal.

HOWEVER, Israel's response is completely out of proportion, heavy-handed and 
seems bound to be ineffectual or worse.

Here's what I know:

Hamas is prepared to sacrifice innocent Palestinian civilians to win world 
opinion and sympathy.

The government and military of Israel is prepared to sacrifice innocent 
Palestinian civilians for all sorts of reasons that are probably best discussed 
elsewhere.

As of last night 154 Palestinians and 0 Israelis have died since this latest 
escalation started.

Each side blames the other and claims total justification for their actions. 

Someone needs to step up and choose peace. No one seems prepared to do that. 
Accordingly this horrendous situation. Will continue.

Oh, Ann, it has nothing to do with geography. It is merely a progress of 
Gazans in terms of rocketry... Previously their rockets couldn't fly as 
far, not they fly twice as far, all the way to Haifa. Though to get to 
Haifa they will need to strain themselves a bit.


Thank you for your kind words...

You have expanded upon what I was trying to say most eloquently, Boris. 

Finger-pointing is not what I intended; quite the opposite.

I believe that most civilians on both sides of this divide only want peace, 
safety and security. Of course you, living in the midst of the tumult, have a 
unique first-hand perspective on what's happening. 

Of course being a friend, my personal concern is the safety of you and yours. 
Stay safe and take care.

All the best,

frank

Dear Boris,

I am aware of the situation.
I thought about you and your family.
I just happen to visit my computer less frequently these days.
Although, of different sort and uncomparable to yours, my country
seems to be on the verge of some serious disorder.

I just fail to find a proper way to express myself...
Remaining calm was something I thought I was good at until this age.
It may not be any longer.

Hope you all do well and hope we shall see a better world soon...
