Netanyahu needs stopping. If this was happening to europeans (or israelis) the US would do something about it.

It happened in Bosnia ( the Srebrenica massacre was genocide), Dutch UN soldiers stood aside. Mladic and others were convicted eventually.  Of course the far left backed the Serbs and opposed NATO intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo.

ok...western europeans (and scale is different...we're looking at 10s of thousands here, and it's been going on for 12 months)...and Israel is supposedly an ally, a liberal democracy that is supposedly better than any alternative. No wonder the world looks on and thinks f**k that f**king hypocrites.
