Why cant the Middle East just chill out?

I didn't used to understand foreign involvement in wars, like the whole America-Vietnam shenanigans. But I can see why after watching this Israeli Palestine Conflict since birth.

But now it's like watching two children fighting over who's sandcastles can be built in the sandbox. And what do we do if children can't learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

Welcome to war.

That would be nice... only there are no adults.

PS: any adults 👽 out there... whenever you're ready, we welcome you 🛸

Yep. OP is wanting other children to take things away from the children. I wonder how that'd turn out. Definitely not with just more children fighting over the sandbox, right?

I'm more on the lines of Gorjira erupting from the bowels of the earth and just chowing down on anyone who doesn't play nice.
