The president’s comment that he has “no confidence” in the civilian death toll in Gaza provided by Palestinians incensed community leaders.

    1. After 70+ years of occupation “we’ll look into it” is the best we can offer? Really?
    2. Who would these Peace keepers be? IDF? Pro-Israel US troops? Iranian military? There are no neutral forces for this job. Also, why only peace keeping to further subjugate the Palestinian people? Why no peace keeping forces to keep Israel from committing more ethnic cleansing?
    3. Huh?

      Thank you for offering criticisms instead of downvoting.

      1. It’s better late than never. And looking into it still paves the way to put some people in jail.
      2. It should be outside of those you mentioned. They’ll probably consider another war without interference, so yes, there should be peacekeeping forces occupying Gaza/West Bank, and some internal checking within Israel. It’s a good question of who though. None of those you listed are good suggestions, and I do struggle to think of a neutral one. The closest I can think of is United Nation, but that’s probably not enough.
      3. One of the condition to prevent wars is acceptance of other people. So, yes, there should be support toward each other. Some of the Israelis are in support for Palestine civilians, and some Palestinians are in support of Israel civilians. More of that is needed. Much more in fact.

      Do you have a better alternative beyond “let the terrorists keep running the show and occasionally bombing Israel”?

          Why isn’t it their land? They have legitimate claims a thousand years back but were ran off then.

            By that logic the United States shouldn’t exist, either. It’s built on stolen land with legitimate claims going back tens of thousands of years.

              Exactly. Forever and a day you have no rights to exsist except from the place where your ancestors came from a million years ago.

              You rather made my point that the Palestinians have no greater right than the Israelites. Hamas on the other hand has stated with no ambiguity that their policy is to exterminate absolutely every last Jew in the middle East.

              What was the point of the balfour declaration then?

                To back up the Jews that had been returning? They started to return in larger numbers due to pogroms in places like Russia.

                    Feel free to tell me what your point is. I’m already done with the “let me pick one random event in a long history of events” shit.

              Much of it is purchased. People seem to forget this part.
