Well peace seems to be holding in the middle east, just keeping fingers crossed that it will last a while.
Now the people have to pick up the pieces of their lives, whatever little is left to them, on each side.
War is hell. Sounds simple doesn't it. You would think that people would go out of their way to avoid warfare, wouldn't you? We see images of death, destruction and despair etched upon the faces of the living....it haunts us, yet we still fight. I fear mankind will never learn.
For what? Land...land that will be here long after all of us have turned to dust? Not only that, most of the land fought for is not fit to live on....mostly sand, no water, little vegetation. Oh, I should take that back, it has been watered recently, only with blood.
The best suggestion that I heard recently on a TV news interview was that Jerusalem should be made an "open" city, having appointees from the UN running it. That would remove a huge bone of contention between the Jews & Arabs.
I often wonder if the powers that be look down upon our beautiful little blue sphere hanging in space against a starlit background..and if they wonder why too.

I hope the peace will hold as well but there have been wars for century after century. Man never seems to learn his lesson.

Jerusalem is basically an open city and center of 3 religions...however, Israel will never turn its control over to a different authority...they waited thousands of years to get it back...and they were there before Jesus or Mohammed.
be well,
