eightthousand soldiers or 80 scientists?

                                                                                If part of the Indonesian army goes serving in the Gaza strip then mr Trump will have much influence on their actions. Soldiers have rifles; they are not specialised in medical care, history, politics. Yet there is much work to do in these sectors and Jakarta may provide help by sending scientists: How were borders drawn in the Middle East and have there been made mistakes, which should be considered by the International Court of Justice? Are doctors wanted from neutral countries to decide whether patients in Gaza need treatment like before in Israel or other countries? Can the government in Jerusalem be advised in detail to handle things better on the Westbank? So Indonesia may contribute for more than intended up to now.
