It's a near impossible situation, although I think Israel has overstepped the mark. Who is ultimately responsible for the slaughter of thousands of innocent people? I would say Hamas indirectly and Israel directly.

But it is very hard to find a solution isn't it. What would you suggest that both sides and regional partners and neighbouring countries are happy with?
No it's not hard to find a solution at all. World governments should stop arming Israel forthwith, stop giving it succour by publicly endorsing it's policies and drag it forthwith to an international summit including the regional powers to put an end to the fighting and ensure a political settlement.
