It would be a wonder if the combatants in today's conflicts could each their own field football teams against each other in public grudge matches with a strong international peacekeeper police to reduce fatalities. Local emergency medics would treat wounded players at the side of field. The reduction of post traumatic stress disorder in the non-combatants would be one of the many benefits. The opposing teams would not be required to love each other and give hugs at the end.
My head is spinning. Such a fascinating and complex situation. Bottom line, it seems to me. is that the local Hamas thugs in Amsterdam were also likely unaware of so much but they did know one thing - that a lot of Israelis and Jews would be at the game on Friday night. And they went to hunt them down and beat them up for being Israelis and Jews.
Thank you for sifting through your archives.

Alas, there is not enough money in my notion of fair play to meet avarice appetite of gleefully competing weapon system providers.
