My side is right. Your side is wrong. Whatever happens, I will find that your side struck first or otherwise provoked my side into retaliating. Your side killed more people, or killed them more brutally, or otherwise acted more outrageously. There is no shared responsibility for the violence. Your side is guilty, completely and unconditionally. My side is morally and legally justified, completely and unconditionally. Any rumors or reports of your side committing atrocities are true, and are to be believed. Similar reports about my side are propaganda, and at least unreliable, probably outright lies. To sum up, my side good, your side bad. The only resolution is for my side to defeat your side, probably by killing all of them, or at least driving them away.
