"Calm" means - if the folks in Gaza stop throwing rockets at Israeli children.
I've included a picture of Israel, with Gaza delineated.
The fix, for a neighbor who is throwing rockets at your children is simple: Ask them to stop throwing rockets at your children.
Once.
The next time you speak, it is NOT with your words.
You give every man, woman and child under your protection a weapon and a ride to the perimeter of Gaza, and you give the folks of Gaza 24 hours to leave. You provide ships so they can get out.
24 hours and 1 minute later, you kill every bastard remaining, and sell the real estate on the cheap.
No more rockets from Gaza. And I'd be willing to bet that none would come from the West Bank, either.
And if a neighbor gets lippy, like Lebanon, or Jordan, or whoever...
...you tell them to shut their yaps or you will reduce your tactical nuclear stockpile by one in 24 hours.
Sorry, folks. I do not care what you think of Jews or collateral damage or any Moral High Ground silliness - no people on Earth are required to endure the attempts of their enemies to kill them and their children. Not one American would be needed to enter the fray. Not one American tax dollar would be needed on weapons.
If my neighbors on Floral or Chestnut were throwing rocks at my house, there would soon become available some very inexpensive real estate where Floral and Chestnut once were.
It's that simple.
Here's the story.
