Negotiation, appeasement – v2

Negotiation, appeasement,
Calling for “A Two-State Solution”,
Allies discussing, debating,
How they should they be fettered,
How Israel should react
To what they see as war,
An existential threat…
 
Iran attacked them, yes,
A reprisal, but who is the enemy,
What is the longer view, the history,
What is the consequence, the cost,
Blood flowing, blood remembered,
Hostages taken, murdered,
Blood crying to be avenged…
 
Disproportionate responses,
Massive retaliation, endless
Volleys, waves of searing attacks,
How will this play about,
While the US Congress dithers,
Debating if we will support,
If we will truly “Stand with Israel”…

Negotiation, appeasement

PBS NewsHour story about US and other allies
talking about how Israel should or should not
respond to the missile and drone attacks
on Israel by Iran…
And statements made about what Ukraine shouldn’t
target in their response to Russian terror
