The answer to Gaza in the short-term is to quarantine the virus. Eventually the hatred will either burn itself out, or consume the populace in a fit of self-immolation.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian “Authority” are each a criminal syndicate competing for the lucre generated by extortion, car theft, smuggling, kidnapping and the like. Yasser Arafat was the Capone of his day and his legacy lingers. The Palestinian territories are literally lawless as civilized people understand the term.

Add religious fanaticism to a culture of overt criminality and the vile mix simply defies solution by men. I suppose the God’s eye perspective is to let geologic time take care of the problem. It certainly won’t resolve itself in my lifetime.
