Bombs, Blameshifting, and the Media

The six month cease-fire between Israel and Palestine on the Gaza strip has eroded. This news is a real shocker to all historians. After all, Israel and Palestine have such a peaceful history with one another....right?
Wrong. Turmoil has filled the middle-east since the Hebrews claimed the land in circa the age of dirt, B.C. The fault in this particular instance of violence lies on both sides. The problem is that the atmosphere is so explosive that neither side is willing to accept any blame. United States media has its own agenda: $$$. Regardless of the facts, the united states media would probably side with Israel. Not to say Israel is completely responsible for the violence--the responsibility lies on both sides of the border. I only mean that the U.S. loyalty to the Israeli agenda runs deeper than than its loyalty to the truth. Regardless of what the said truth is, conflict is not likely to be resolved until the world ends. At that point, fault-finding will be a futile exercise anyway.
