why does he not tell this to the world, and go to Israel to meet with Netanyahu?

As long as Hamas fires rockets into Israel and as long as terrorists and suicide bombers continue to prevail, Israel will have no choice but to fight back.  Unfortunately, this can cause innocent Palestinian deaths and injuries.  The choice lies with Hamas and they should be brought to task.  United Nations can intervene.
