They are losing the plot

It's incredible how the west is always talking about negotiations and peace talks yet its almost saying oh go ahead , bomb away before Israel and its allies stop and think

There has to be some sort of response but you don't stop terrorism by killing innocent people that just creates martyrs

Lyse Dousett is on Radio 5 , an incredibly experienced and balanced reporter , like Jeremy Bowen and it appears there may be moves to try and avert this madness
