Both peoples have historically suffered hideous attempts to destroy them. Isn’t it time that the powers that be tried to sort this mess out, for the sake of the people they serve?

it is a curious feature of this whole situation that Israel doesn't bomb the Fatah controlled west bank but does feel the need to retaliate against the Hamas controlled Gaza strip.

This indicates where the problem is.
