Of Jews and Arabs; Mossad and the Hezbollah

"The man he killed"Had he and I but metBy some old ancient inn,We should have set us down to wetRight many a nipperkin!But ranged as infantry,And staring face to face,I shot at him as he at me,And killed him in his place.I shot him dead because--Because he was my foe,Just so: my foe of course he was;That's clear enough; althoughHe thought he'd 'list, perhaps,Off-hand like--just as I--Was out of work--had sold his traps--No other reason why.Yes; quaint and curious war is!You shoot a fellow downYou'd treat, if met where any bar is,Or help to half a crown- Thomas Hardy
