The problem with peace keepers is that in order to keep the peace, there needs to be peace to begin with. And in order for there to be peace, someone needs to eventually win (or lose) the war. Nothing brings the other side to the table faster than when they clearly have something to lose (usually land). Unfortunately, these things come with a human toll that our 21st century sensibilities have trouble reconciling.
I think Israel has come to the point that to end it, they need to win it decisively.
