38 wasted years

Israel's military occupation of the Gaza strip has finally ended. For 38 years, Israel devoted valuable resources to administering a territory for whose residents it failed to take responsibility. All of its efforts were a total waste of time, money, and lives. Now even Shimon Peres admits that that occupying Gaza was a historic error. How tragic it is for both Palestinians and Israelis that it has taken 38 years to reach this conclusion.
People who have the best interests of Israel at heart, as well as those who want to see progress and prosperity for the Palestinians, should now breathe a sigh of relief.
