It would, however, not surprise me – at all – were the peace deal to be concluded, officially and completely, and Hamas, in the near future, return to committing attacks and atrocities; leopards can’t change their spots and all that.

Should that happen – and I sincerely hope it does not – a Rubicon will have been crossed; it will establish, beyond merely “reasonable doubt,” but any doubt at all, that Hamas et al cannot be allowed to exist, in any form whatsoever, that not only must it be destroyed, the people who support it must be destroyed, completely and utterly but the idea of it must be destroyed and made so toxic that wherever it may present itself produces instant and complete destruction.

Evil cannot be tolerated; to do so, under whatever guise men may create, is of itself Evil, and tolerating any of it is the equivalent of tolerating all of it. That may sound harsh, but the question must be: “How much Evil do I find acceptable?”

Hamas, as well as Hezbollah, Houthis and Iran, have taken a terrible pounding. Not quite Dresden level, but still ferocious.

It’s hudna time!

Another Bible passage from a more obscure prophet that I found interesting:

I’m skeptical but hopeful. Even if it’s a short period of peace, lives will be spared, and maybe some minds will change.

I scarcely dare to hope, but this seems real.
