This is the way wars operate. In the ancient world one army would send out their Goliath while the other would send out their David. The winner takes all. The loser becomes the conquered—at least theoretically. Even then, we might ask, why does David or Goliath have to die? If the kings want to go to war, why don’t they stand on the battlefield and fight themselves? Maybe then they would think twice before they sent others to die. What I intend to do in this post is two-fold: I hope to provide (in less than 750 words) some thoughts on the current crisis in Israel-Palestine.
