"The well-worn definition of insanity: trying the same tactic over and over and expecting a different result."
I can't think of a better definition of insanity than the current Israel/Hamas idiocy. I understand why they're all so pissed off- murdering children does elicit that response. I also understand that a few really bloodthirsty players on both sides are manipulating everyone else- on both sides.
I hope I live long enough to see peace in the Middle East. But I'm 62 and I think the odds are against me. The best description, by the way, of the way that the Palestinians' various governments (if you want to call them that) does business is the one Tom Friedman wrote years ago: The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
If this is also quoted above, I apologize. It's made the rounds.
