Horrible story. And all part of the deliberate Israeli plan to create a situation in which the mass evacuation of Palestinians is being promoted as the only 'civilised' response.

I think you may be onto something stirlingsays. Israel has taken no notice of the USA, so why not loosen the shackles on Israel's hostile neighbours ? That might do the job.
On the other hand, you can't predict what some of these mentalist leaders will do.

I disengage, I turn the page.

This is what I said back in early October. The condemnation by allies has started, the opinion against Israel is getting more solid each day. Sanctions in the future?

hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Correct. Each country will decide but it will only be when Israel’s allies start doing so that it will have any effect; probably more symbolic rather than effectual. Freezing of overseas assets of individuals close to the destruction? Maybe on a temporary basis. Arms? Only when the war is won. Funding? Doubtful, due to massive Jewish bases of population in western countries. We will see.

So Israel stop getting support. Hamas. Hezbolla and others fanatics attack Israel. 100s of 1000s of Jews die and everyone is happy. What’s not to like !!!!

Maybe people in high places take a more pragmatic view.

For example, we effectively saved those of the Jewish faith from virtual extinction by allowing some of them to settle in the West and by defeating Hitler. Following that, we allowed them to settle in what is now Israel. All things you could describe as humanitarian, and this is where it has brought us.

Now we are faced with terrible suffering and loss of life on both sides of the current clusterfuXk with the formerly oppressed now seemingly the oppressors.

Helping the Jews was clearly the right thing to do morally, as would be trying to save Palestinian children, but what will be the ultimate result if we stop Israel from achieving their obvious objectives either by persuasion or simply by removing support? Will it just lead to more decades of fighting?

What if we continue to support Israel?
Will this lead to Gazans ultimately fleeing and ending up in Europe?
Will we have our own little sectarian civil war kicking off at some point if we accept Gazan Muslims as refugees? Is that something that Washington would happily inflict on Europe for the sake of the 'bigger picture'?

I guess that this is a long winded way of saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I'm not sure if there is a clear right or moral answer here.
