6. I think you are right

There is a bias alright. I have always said that Israel is not blameless in this conflict. I think we give them way too much leeway. Let's not kid ourselves. Netanyahu and his government is corrupt, and he is a big reason for the conflict. To say he is not is being naive. But Hamas also has support from Qatar and Iran. I think the Palestinians are in a very difficult position. It is sometimes true that when you are in such a difficult position, you want to take arms and fight back. But again, this was not the way to do it. I am sort of conflicted about this. I don't think that supporting Hamas will help Palestine, but Israel is not helping the situation. For a while, a two-state solution was brought up, but I don't think it really ever gained ground.
