This whole thing is shameful and the world watches and does nothing. I think it's time since, Israel doesn't appear to be able to handle this region, for outside entities to step in to protect mostly the Palestinian people. Perhaps a coalition of countries to keep these two sides separated . Then the International community should resolve the issue of peace, and impose it on both sides.

Israel keeps telling us that they can't solve the problem other than killing more and more Palestinians as the years progress.

This coalition should decide what to do with the settlements, all Palestinian land occupied should be returned.

The world is sick of this, sick of watching people die over their. Since Israel have failed so miserably to solve the problem, the best thing to do is bring in a 'referee'.

A simple search of the words "others killed" will return stories about everything from crimes to traffic accidents. It has nothing to do with dehumanizing Palestinians.

Who has been killed in Gaza?



32 were Israeli soldiers.

3 were Israeli civilians.

87 were armed Palestinian militants. Of those, 2 were teenagers.

443 were Palestinian civilians. Of those, 76 were women and 144 were children.

69 had an unknown role.
