Hi,
You play football for 90 minutes, but there is always the injury time at the end of the 90 minutes. You can ask football players and fans, what amazing things can be done in this injury times.
In Israel wars against Hamas in Gaza strip there also injury time. But unlike in football games, it is not paying off for lost time for injuries. It just makes more injuries, destruction and death on both sides.
While Hamas just shot around its missiles to civilian cities and settlements around Gaza strip and far as Tel Aviv, the IDF has a bank of targets. When Hamas finish most of its long range missiles and the IDF is done bombing the bank of targets…. well that is when the talks over cease fire are starting.
This time war injury time, start from this point. The point from which it is clear both sides are wish to have cease fire agreement to the point the fire really ceases.
And during this time – one injured, a family is killed, a house is demolished.
This the time for another mortar shell, aircraft bomb, Qassam missile, artillery shell and terror tunnel attack to help get the victory picture or other last minute achievement.
Because none one really wins those violence periods.. Both are losing, and we’ll get ready for the next one in a couple of years from now.
Take Care
