As are all wars.

All wars are not bound to end sooner than later. The bulk of Gaza has been cleared. Hamas is in no position to mount an offensive response. They're on the ropes, so to speak.

Compare that to WW2 where despite nearly 5 yrs of intense combat, the fighting was so intense in the Pacific that it took atomic bombs, several months later, to convince the last of the Axis, Japan, to sign and 'sing.'
Wasn't the logic of the bombs to stop the huge loss of life that would have resulted from continued fighting?

I ain't hearing no singing from no minaret.

Meanwhile, this week my cousin honored her mother (my Aunt), who survived the Holocaust and her first husband who died in Auschwitz with the installation of Stolpersteine markers at their home in Amsterdam where they were arrested in 1942.
