Well one of the big problems is they keep talking about a political conflict, between political ideals. Every single western new organization avoids religion in this conflict like the plague. They are fearful of the word.
While the Arab world, the media, TV series, Movies, all speak quite clearly on the religious war aspect of this and how evil Isarael and jews are. They don't even hide it, but no western media would talk about this fact nor portrai this as a religious conflict.
Israel is tough, and both sides are to blame obviously. But one side keeps agreeing on peace and while doing some stupid things like increasing settlements (pressure from the religious right in Israel with support from Evangelicals in the US), while the other side continues no matter peace/conflict to launch missles, teach their children from speaking age to HATE and FIGHT the dirty 'jews'...
I mean its an imbalance, yes Israel could do some things better, but they are certainly more reasonable and willing to work for peace, while nothing changes in the poor, uneducated slums of Palastine where its a breeding ground for radicalism and suicide bombers.
They must be made fringe by their own people, such is the problem for Lebanon and Hamas. They can't move into a peacful future while these organizations corrupt and abuse a poor, uneducated and fearful populace into jihad against their so called enemy.
But rightly so, this should no longer be called a 'political conflict' and we might start actually getting somewhere in this dialogue.
Religious war is absolutism, no room for negotiation and peace. So if we don't address this, we don't deal with the core problem.
