Such a Price

The ceasefire between Israel and Gaza was tenuous from the start, perhaps doomed to fail.

Over 300 lives snuffed out. Just like that. In one attack, because Israel is on a mission to eradicate Hamas, no matter if innocents are in the way. Or are there no innocents?

It’s a battle of attrition, fueled by unfathomable hatred and distrust. And who knows, maybe Bibi was heartened by the recent U.S. attack in Yemen.

Hostages? They’re apparently a low priority. Expendable, even. Families’ feelings and demands are practically immaterial and irrelevant, maybe even a nuisance. The existential crisis for Israel takes precedence and likely continues forever, in practical terms.
