The wall was always there. The genie has been let loose from the bottle, and now all hell is breaking loose. Unfortunately, the current situation was inevitable, and the 2016 elections expedited things. What's happening in Israel is very tragic. On the one hand, the Palestinian cause for acceptance and fundamental rights has been hijacked by a terrorist organization, Hamas, and due to this, innocent bystanders are getting massacred. Nefarious puppet masters ( Iran, Russia, others) work in the shadows and initiate proxy wars.

On the other hand, you have Israel, which has every right to exist, but they seem to have stared too long into the darkness and become the monsters they swore to fight. Most of us are not experts on the Israel and Palestine conflict, but one thing is sure: children should be spared from all this chaos and horror. Kidnappings, senseless murder, and bombings from both sides should stop immediately, for their sakes. 43.5% of the Gaza Strip's population is under 14 years old.
