“After-hours gives leisure to repent.” – Richard III
Apparently the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, apologized yesterday to the prime minister of Turkey, Recep Erdogan, over the botched flotilla raid of 2010. I was surprised (and impressed) to hear of it. Now if only everyone in the Middle East would apologize to everyone else in the Middle East for all the myriad of offenses everyone has done to everyone else since 10,000 B.C., we might be on our way to real peace in the region!

While I was also gratified to hear about Netanyahu’s apology, I think everyone apologizing (sincerely) to everyone else, repeatedly in the Middle East, even if taken at face value and meant as such, would be insufficient. Sadly, hate becomes a habit and those habits are too long ingrained. Okay, off my soapbox and no more preaching to the choir for me today.

So is there no resolution? Ever? One has to have hope, don’t you think?
