The current war in the Middle East has been ongoing for over a year, with multiple factions targeting Israel. The media's coverage of the conflict has been criticized for portraying Muslims as victims and Israelis as villains. Israel has also suffered civilian casualties and destruction, but this is often overlooked. Many nations and the UN have called on Israel to stop its offensives, but do not give the same advice to Islamic nations involved. The responsibility for peace in the region lies with all nations, particularly Arab nations, who must reconcile with the existence of Israel and reject radical resistance groups.
