I'll leave them with the sound of Vin Garbutt singing " When the Tide Turns"

Israel's moral high ground has been completely and undeniably shattered now and Western leaders are falling over each other to be seen to be at one with their voters who are sickened by this.

There is at last a level playing field where both Israel and Hamas are seen as two sides of the same bomb. That is constructive as The USA are less prone to be one sided when peace terms are discussed. Israel has to do what the money tells it to do and Hamas have to see how the rest of the Middle East are pissed off with them.

I hope Israel can afford the bill for reconstructing Gaza. That is the eventual reality.
