An Irony of War. Israel bombed Gaza to beyond recognition. It then bargained towards peace that all hostages, dead or alive, Must be immediately returned to finalize the agreement. Now there is a delay to return bodies because Many of those bodies are buried under bombed debris. This delay is causing Israel in anger to slow movement of food aid into Gaza. How ironic that Israel's very bombing is why the bodies' returns are delayed. Is it Just that Israel delays food aid to Gaza, Actually resulting from their own former actions?
