As long as their is conflict, it gives Israel an excuse to terrorize the Palestinians through forced evictions, settlements, murder, terror and deportations. When they spin the media angle and propagate lies about what's happening, they can easily appear justified in what they are doing.

Of course, peace would only benefit the Palestinians, as conflict is not only terrorizing them, but also bankrupting and killing them too.

Could you imagine if this were Iran or even Syria breaking international law and committing human rights abuses? The MSM would be all over it like flies on poop.
