Thank you, @weisser-rabe, for wishing peace upon us. Our people are certainly welcoming this mediation, and we truly hope it succeeds…

But

With all due respect, I must say that the definition of “peace” seems very different on the other side.
For them, peace appears to mean bullying us into submission—or worse, seeking our complete eradication.

As I clearly mentioned at the beginning of my post, I am not a political person. And until recently, I had been living under the illusion of neighborly goodwill.

But these past few days have revealed a level of hostility and irrationality that left me truly baffled.

What struck me the most was how visibly upset their media seemed with the announcement of a ceasefire.
Why such disappointment? It felt as though they didn’t want the conflict to end until they had inflicted irreversible damage—God forbid.

It makes one question: what kind of mindset, what kind of government, responds this way to de-escalation?

War is not waged between people, but between political interests.

Absolutely. Agreed!
