Clearly this is a talking point, as we keep seeing it. What it does is make people even more angry as it is in insult to the intelligence of the average person.
Someone has to stop this, clearly Israel is not going to stop so it will have to be some outside entity. Even if we buy their excuses, that would mean they are inept, they cannot handle the situation and end up killing hundreds, thousands of innocent people. The obvious conclusion is they cannot be trusted with this situation anymore.
A third party dedicated to keeping the peace, perhaps a coalition from all over the world, is badly needed there for the safety mostly of Palestinians and it would serve to protect Israel also.
But for the world to continue to watch these horrors every few years is a crime in itself.
They are losing the respect of the world, so I don't understand what they are trying to do.
Israel needs a new government, the Palestinians if they feel protected, also need new leaders. The US has failed those innocent victims so should stay out of any plan to end this. We are complicit, not to mention our own brutal and illegal wars.
