Failed US diplomatic efforts across the Middle East ensures that the money, weapons and logistics will continue to flow. Israel are recruiting the men.
I'm not sure anyone paid 'lip service' the only distinction is whether you did it in the spineless way to green light Israeli war crimes or actually find both worthy of condemnation.
The lip service is all from our politicians around Israel's behaviour and its obligations under international law.

The only way this continual violence will end is by taking out the terrorists. For some unfathomable reason, you seem to want Israel to treat them with kid gloves. Why?
I understand the sympathy being expressed for the Palestinian people, but Hamas must be removed for their sake as well as for Israel’s. We’ve tried everything else. They are not interested in any kind of settlement, they just want to obliterate Israel. Are you content to stand back and let that happen, or alternatively have this warmongering carrying on for the next 100+ years?
If you have some magic solution as an alternative to crushing Hamas, I’m sure we’d all like to hear it.
