Why this must be read: This story centers around a post-X3 Magneto, finding himself alone in Haifa and witnessing a war in which he plays no part other than that of a civilian. It's achingly sad and poignant, and the ending...oh. Really, this is possibly one of the best genfics I've read, ever, and one of the most striking looks at Erik I've had the fortune to come across. Chilling and wonderful and just beautifully written.
There is a saying in Israel: in Jerusalem they pray, in Tel Aviv they party, and in Haifa they work. On the afternoon of the second day of the bombardment, crudely effective rockets end the lives of eight workers at a railway depot. Erik Lehnsherr sits in a smoky café on the slopes of French Carmel, sips thick Arab coffee, and watches events unfold on Channel 10.

Also a must-read islonelywalker's Commentary on the fic, which is of particular interest as she actually resides in Haifa, and wrote the story based on the events of July 16, which she witnessed. It's incredibly powerful to read, and really adds a lot to the story.
