Thanks ! The fox has more than one layer Fox News , Aesop , and children ' s books generally . I chose him mainly because of Richard Scarry , but the other layers are a bonus . Looking at politics as if it ' s sports is bad , and that ' s some of the subtext of the comic . But sports are definitely better than improvised explosives ! <| sep |> Theres a lot of downtime in prison , a young white kid who killed 9 African Americans and then got a bunch of media coverage is probably gonna be well recieved . They might even view him as a local celebrity . <| sep |> Religious chauvinism on both sides it ' s considered against God ' s plan that infidels should control that land . Only prominent on one side . Jews were willing to accept division of the land back in 1947 , while Arabs were saying any divisions would lead to a war of extermination . of Jews . Nationalism on both sides . Sure . And onesided American monetary and diplomatic support for Israel . That began well after the conflict , and isn ' t onesided . The US provides money and diplomatic support to the Palestinians too today , and has hardly criticized their leaders for openly encouraging terrorism in the past 4 years . Trying to be even handed made the conflict worse , because Palestinians already get monetary and diplomatic support from parts of the EU , and completely onesided monetary and diplomatic support from the Arab world ' s 25 states and Muslim world ' s 40 , and complete diplomatic cover from China and Russia . The US was the only one willing to stick up to oil suppliers , and that got much of the rest of the world ' s dictatorships up in arms against Israel . Trying to be even handed has only made things worse .
