This conflict is about the water and natural resources located in the Gaza. The history of killing and "who did what" is a mute point because neither side is innocent. Many countries other than the US have had a hand in manipulating the people in this region.

At this point every intervention seems to bring more violence. I cant help but to think every country should pull out and let them handle it among themselves. With all these countries being involved it just allows both sides to take shots at either other knowing full well someone will intervene and stop a full scale war. Take the security blanket away and maybe peace talks will become more appealing.

During the cold war between Russia and the U.S. Both sides had nukes and both sides knew full well that petty conflicts could mean total annihilation. Both countries had only one choice when there was conflict because the other choice was mass destruction. The same applies to this situation. If we leave, the Palestinians know they could be nuked by Israel but Israel knows that we wont get involved when the Arabs then destroy Israel. At that point these little attacks on civilians start to carry alot more consequences dont they ?
