You have to escalate to deescalate, worked for the USA end of WWII it is a simple equation, Israeli's were obviously unjustly invaded by the rulers of the Palestinians (Hamas) that were elected to rule them. They murdered, robbed, raped took hostage innocent civilians. Therefore, they lose all rights according to the Geneva Convention, and are terrorists. simple fact!!!Therefore a 10,000 fold first day escalation should have been and the hostages sent back, if not next day 100,000, next day 1 million and all gone problem solved, It should take 3 days maximum in my eyes.
