Yeah I think the Israel conflict always gets more play than other conflicts which, like in this case, appear to be worse. Because of the involvement of the Jewish state and what that means to so many people in the States and the fact that one of the sides is, and I use this term only because that's how many see the conflict even though it's not that simple, white. Brown people fighting white people is news in the Western world. Brown people fighting brown people, not so much.
What is going on in Iraq right now does appear to be many times worse. Not to belittle the situation in Israel/Palestine.
