A Gaza-Israeli Progress Report. The last hospital in Gaza has been taken over and closed by Israeli troops. Accusations claim that even the head doctor works with Hezbollah. Will continued bombardments solve anything?-- Walls eventually stop no one and continual bombardments Result in about the same--someone will always hold on in hiding. True negotiations are desperately needed And compromise of some sort must manifest-- Otherwise no 'progress' will ever see the light of day. I wrote before, that 'an eye for 3000 eyes' is becoming questionable, But now we must ask is 'an eye for 45,000 eyes' at all just? Our violence is way outdoing,even our pugnacious relatives, the chimpanzee! Frank Maurer 29 December 2024 0945 Hours.
