Say, you know what? You might be just the guy to tell
the Israelis and Palestinians how to get along! Just
bring them together and develop strategies and plans
for a new resolution, closely involving all persons of
good will from each side! Even if this means years
of long talks! What a plan.

Oh, this should definitely be mentioned not only to the Israelis
and Palestinians, but we should "make clear" that other nations
should cease executions of politicians, and that it's not an
accepted instrument of politics.
May I ask how old you are?

I suggest you try reading Machiavelli for starters. But the
history of most eras might also, if read with enough cynicism,
provide very informative lessons.
