^^^ it best continue then

The israelis will never leave, the palestinians will never accept them being there.

The only way they'll reconcile their differences is by having to team up against alien invaders. As in space aliens.

Hopefully the discovery of said aliens would put to death any of the stupid religious theories that half these wars are predicated on.

Religion is just one of the many excuses/reasons for war, remove it and something else replaces it.

Land, resources, political idealism, power, race, profit, politics....

True, but you wouldn't have any of these "Die for Allah!" types

The hell you wouldn't. If they didn't just incorporate the aliens into their pre-existing religion and claim that it had always allowed for them, they'd just make up some new cult claiming that the aliens were here to bring the Apocalypse to humanity or were here to bring the message of God to humanity. It'll never end.

Israel civilians are not subject to this presently.

Why does it need to be addressed? It's a conflict and there are usually always more civilian casualties than military, especially when conflicts take place in built up regions. This region is well known for civilians being actively involved in the conflict and taking part in it, they don't usually like to try and stay safe at home.

It's always been that way. It's a "No regards for anybody else but themselves win" move. That's the reason no one should condone or consider bombing whether it's a military strategy or not. Especially since our present day usually concerns civilian safety worldwide.

It does come from both ends. While Hamas tend to be careless with their strategy, it's why Palestinians are pretty much in a worse position than the Israelis.

When military casualties start mounting up, the war starts to become less popular back home (Vietnam and Afghanistan-Russia were perfect examples of this) so the Isrealis are following on from the tried and tested system of minimising their own casualties, which therefore means bombing. If Hamas could do this as effectively then they would as well.

Generally most countries want to establish two states. One for Palestine and Israel. This was a harsh reminder that it's not going to be the case, being a "punishment" from Israel. Now the idea is completely dented and Israel have just isolated themselves from support. This might help both sides into a peace treaty. So "destroying each other" isn't really case. The president and Hamas have different plans, so the only way this can happen is to consolidate with each other. The president of Israel and the military are opposed to negotiations right now.

At least Palestinians are supported by the U.S. and UN with this decision.

They want to establish two states as they know the two sides could never live together in peace and on equal terms. We're lucky that the eyes of the world are yet again involved and any middle-eastern conflict is high profile. Because if it wasn't, I'm certain those with the biggest weapons would be waging a true campaign of ethnic cleansing.
