Italy Offers To Send Human Shields To Gaza

They're working out so well in Lebanon - what with their well-known success in stopping arms smuggling - that they'd naturally work out in Gaza:

Italy would consider sending peacekeepers to the Gaza Strip if the Palestinian government requested help to end factional fighting, Foreign Minister Massimo D'Alema said on Wednesday... "If the Palestinian Authority asked for international help to guarantee security in Gaza, that could be considered," he [s]aid. "... Italy is leading the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon. D'Alema said last year that if the Lebanon force proved effective, a similar force could be used in Gaza.

How about this? How about the world doesn't step in to shield the Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank from the consequences of their disastrous warmongering? It'd be a radical departure from the last five decades - and we wouldn't want people to step out of their comfort zone - but we're just suggesting that maybe something new might not be uncalled for.

Or Italy could send in peacekeepers to ineffectively prevent Arab intransigence while limiting Israel's ability to protect its citizens. Maybe the hundred and forty second try will be the charm.
