My Comment: This is one of those classic situations where the overwhelming majority on one side supports a conflict and war .... and then become horrified that the cost of such a conflict ends up utterly destroying their lives.

The hatred will still exist .... on both sides .... and the preparations for the next war will be initiated almost right away.
