It's really just more stupid, needless death in the region but I have no doubt had the situation been reversed and Palestinians wandered into a banned area and been shot by the IDF that there'd be people right in this forum saying "Too bad but you went where you shouldn't and got what you deserved"
If these people, and I mean all of these people, are too stubborn, too stupid, or too hung up on the "My God is better than your God" argument to learn to live together I just wish the US would realize it and minimize our involvement in the area.

I agree 100% that the deaths were in all likelihood needless. I also think it's naive to think this situation can be resolved without UN peacekeeping presence, which I think will remain impossible as long as the U.S officially and unofficially backs an occupying state.

I don't really believe it can be resolved by any other than the involved parties and so far they really show no sincere interest in doing so. I think both the US and UN have proven themselves ineffective and that's unlikely to change.
Time we shed our little world police uniform and take care of our own problems.

It's absolutely an issue that needs resolving by the involved parties, I don't think that's possible without first having a more stable reduction or stop in the use of force, and I don't think that's possible without a strong, multinational presence, through UN peacekeeping forces. I don't think the US should contribute to that force any more than the next country, and considering the history, I most certainly don't think the US should lead such a force.

As far as BushObama`s feckless interventions worldwide are concerned, I agree 100%.
And if it weren`t for the huge number of people in the world who would like nothing better than another Holocaust, I would agree with you in this case, as well. But I can't.
Jewish settlers in Israel “are not normal people” and therefore there is no need to apologize for the murder of a Jew who prayed at Kever Yosef (Joseph’s Tomb) Sunday morning, according to Palestinian Authority security forces’ spokesman General Adnan Damiri.
Not sure why you're labeling all Palestinians. Pretty sure nobody advocates murder. I'm also pretty sure this is none of our business. Israel and Palestine need to figure this out, not us.
lol all 3 "abrahamic" religions are bull**** ripoffs of the concepts taught in Waset Egypt the original house of priesthood. Keep fighting all of our ancestors are laughing at us, adn then crying cuz we are their children. An Eye for an eye though
"So a us "citizen" took part in an illegal "flotilla" with ties to Hezbollah and this makes the Israelis cruel by enforcing their laws how exactly? If this guy had a clue he would not have placed himself in such a position".
