I didn’t used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.

But now it’s like watching two children fighting over who’s sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can’t learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

    I don’t disagree, but I doubt either side would agree. Certainly the Israels wouldn’t. They’ve got the most international support, the superior military, and (most importantly) this war let’s them do what they’ve wanted to do for almost a century now, wipe them out and claim all their land for themselves. They’ve got everything to gain and really not all that much to lose except their humanity - and countries rarely optimize their wartime strategies for that.
