45. 'Jewish or biased sources'?
You sound as though Jewish sources are a monolith. In fact, 'two Jews mean three opinions'. Jewish sources range from very pro-Israel to very pro-Palestinian.

'while everyone else actually discusses the issues.'

No, unfortunately, often we don't. There are too many debates that comes down to 'Dershowitz is an evil monster and by the way he eats babies' versus 'Goldstone is an evil monster and by the way he eats babies'. Sometimes I think there should be a month's moratorium on any mention of either Dershowitz or Goldstone! Neither of them is either Israeli or Palestinian, after all; and we might then spend more time discussing Israel and Palestine as such.
