When The World Starts To Win I Retreat To The Garden

 Alright the secrets out I prefer the company of vegetables, flowers, trees, whales, seals, dogs, birds, spiders et al over most people.

Peace

Think about it for just a second. Humans seem to naturally lie, cheat, steal and take whatever advantage they can.

Hamas had a simple strategy: do such an horrendous terrorist act that the people of Israel, or at least enough of them, would make the government go way over the top in retaliation. 

Israel has for 17 years laid siege to Gaza knowing that one day October the 7 could and probably would happen. They knew that if they could goad Hamas into a terror unlimited attack that the IDF could be used a s a weapon of mass extinction and that the world wouldn't stop them.

Apparently both sides have got what they want, and it only cost 30+ thousand dead, 100,000 +- wounded, 20,000+- dead and or orphaned children and give or take a trillion dollars that could have been used to turn that part of the Middle East into a Paradise.

Yes indeed there are times I prefer our garden and all that live in it to what lives outside and walks on 2 feet.
