Israeli Intervention

Israel denies Palestinians their human rights and regularly attacks their settlements with armed force. As with a bully who beats his wife or abuses his children, it's long past time for friends of Israel to intervene. Rocket attacks on Israel and suicide bombers will stop only when the Palestinians want to stop them. Israeli air strikes and military incursions only provide justification to the militants and make the Palestinian population more sympathetic to, if not supportive of, the militants. "Vengeance is mine saith the lord", because humans don't seem to know how to handle it.
