You know why many conflicts don't get resolved? It's the same reason that climate debates don't get resolved; the press' belief that there is always right on both sides and therefore there must be a middle ground. Its akin to giving equal air time to those who say the earth is flat to those who have science and facts on their side.
In the Arab Israeli conflict the press is basically giving the Arabs' (or Palestinians' in this case) terrorism a moral equivalence to Israel defending itself and retaliating to numerous attacks.
"BOTH countries" are not committing war-crimes. Israel doesn't !!target!!! civilians while Hamas and Hezbollah do exactly that. "BOTH countries" !!are not!! held accountable for their atrocious conduct. Accountability is strictly reserved for Israel's actions while the Palestinians always seem to get a pass b/c of their position. I put "BOTH countries" in quotes because as of today "Palestine" is not a recognized state, fyi.
