| Guest essay by Nir Avishai Cohen, NYT |
The world mourns--well, some distract themselves with football or the nearing World Series.
The best commentary I've seen is by a major in the reserves for the Israeli Defense Forces, Nir Avishai Cohen in today's New York Times.
But all of us have witnessed yet another instance of willingness to massacre civilians. This began on a large scale during World War 2 and climaxed with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Then Putin began it again in Ukraine, and now Hamas has waged war on babies, young adults at a party, elderly people and others not bearing weapons.
In 2018 Major Cohen wrote a book titled Love Israel, Support Palestine.
"Israel did not do enough to make peace," he writes.
True and tragic for all.
"Israelis must realize that there is no greater security asset than peace," he concludes in this article. "The strongest army cannot protect the country the way peace does."
