        International lawmakers are already pissed off enough at Israel that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually the cause of war. They’re only tip toeing around it right now because peacekeeping wars are very unpopular. Kill your own citizens? That’s fine just keep the international casualties down. Kill international diplomats? War.

          Kill your own citizens?

          It is illegally occupied since 1967 and the Palestinians are stateless living under military rule. They are not Israeli citizens.

          With the current state of things in Gaza, I’m starting to dream that European naval powers some day have enough, and send an aid convoy with a heavy military escort to Gaza.

          I can’t imagine anything but support for a mission that is literally escorting container ships with food, water, and medical equipment to Gaza. And I can only dream about the reaction from Israel if a combined NATO naval force told them that “We’re delivering humanitarian aid. If you try to stop us at sea we’ll sink you, and if you try to shoot us from the air we’ll wipe out your airfields. Stand back and no shots will be fired.”

          It would be a so unequivocally “good guy/bad guy” situation, and NATO has the military power to pull it off. Of course, zionists have infiltrated far too much of our political sphere, so it’s never going to happen…
