I'm actually making the argument that people should be held more accountable for solving problems the more power they have.
It's easy to say "both sides" committed immoral actions, but that doesn't really get us anywhere useful, other than perhaps some moral superiority.
If we want to actually solve problems, i.e. prevent those bad things from happening in the future, the practical suggestion is to start with those people who have the most power to effect change.

I'm not qualified to engage in serious ethics debates, and I'm definitely not qualified to hold an opinion on anything going on in the middle east. Watching the news and scrolling social media in no way prepares me to understand the deep and complex issues of the region. I was just curious about your perspective. Thanks for explaining.
