I think the UN is very important to the resolution of this issue. From a symbolic standpoint, I think only blue-hat soldiers should be deployed in the area to drive home the point that this is not only the US getting involved, but the entire world has a stake in the constant fighting in that area.
I also slightly question the validity of the Israeli's claim to that particular bit of land. Calling back to roots from that long ago, aren't we supporting a dangerous idea? Does that mean that we owe Native Americans land? What empire constitutes original ownership? Our whole concept of the political break up of the world is based on conquerors and the conquored. Since when do people get to call long ago "dibs" on land?
But that is beside the point, Israel exists now and the problem needs to be delt with through the United Nations.
