The casualties for UN peacekeepers based on percentages would put Afghanistan to shame.
Exactly - The Anglo Saxan countries have enough on the plate as is and would only inflame an already inflamed situation. You dont need countries sending over troops that the majority of Arabs likely think (and probably rightfully so) support Isrealy because of predominant Christian views.

Is this not a "difference of opionion" between two Palestinian factions? What exactly is the reason they are unalbe to settle their own problems like adults? Agreed, Isreal should stay the hell out.
