I think it would be wonderful if the 3rd parties (the US, Europe, Arab Countries, etc.) would butt out of the conflict. This way, Israel can go in and destroy all the terrorist strongholds in the West Bank and Gaza, without worrying about the rest of the world wringing their hands and crying about 'all those poor Palestinians', and forgetting about the horror done against the Israeli citizens by the terrorists. Imagine if the Israeli army said, from here on in, if a 'shaheed', or suicide bomber kills another Israeli, than his family will be executed on the spot. You can bet the terrorism, and the subsequent glorification of the young Muslim bomber smiling at the thought of killing more Jews will stop, if he knows his brothers and sisters will be executed shortly thereafter. Gruesome? Of course. Will Israel lose the so-called moral high ground? Probably, but then, its so-called moral high ground has gone hand in hand with the huge increase in anti-semitism throughout the world. Then, and only then, perhaps can a dialogue can begin, when the young Islamic militants, who yearn to go to Allah so he can screw his 72 virgins in heaven, will think twice, knowing his sisters, brothers, and especially his mom, will be mowed down the day after by the IDF in righteous retribution. So you are right- lets have ALL the countries 'bug off', and let the Palestinians and Israelis do what they have to do... and we'll finally have peace.
