The East and West have been at war since antiquity. I don't expect the war to end in my life time.

As for the current conflict.

I can't help but notice that every single rocket fired by Hamas and Hezbollah was intended to kill people. The anti-missile defense system does not change the intent of the missiles.

Building a missile base in a childcare center makes for great PR because retaliation will result in dead children.

I think intent matters more than the actual result. Hezbollah intends to kill civilians. IDF intends to take out missile bases.

I am not moved by the PR.

Unfortunately, I don't see a surrender in the future. We are trapped in a forever war.
